Of the same iudgement in this matter is M. Bucer, as it appea∣reth* 1.1 in his Epistle to M. Alasco, these be his wordes: If you vvill not admit such libertie, and vse of vesture to this pure and holie Church, by∣cause they haue no commaundement of the Lord, nor example of it: I doo not see hovv you can graunt to any Church, that it may celebrate the Lor∣des Supper in the morning, and in an open Churche, especially consecra∣ted to the Lorde: that the Sacrament may be distributed to men kneeling or standing, yea to vvomen as vvell as to men. For vvee haue receiued of these things neither commaundement of the Lorde, nor any example, yea rather the Lorde gaue a contrarie example. For in the euening, and in a priuate house he did make his Supper, and distributed the Sacramentes, and that to men only, and sitting at the table. Haec Bucerus.
But to ende this matter, is it not as lawfull for a godlie Prince, with the aduise and consent of godlie and lerned Bishops, and other of the wysest, to make orders in the Church, and lawes Ecclesiasti∣call, as it is for euery priuate man, to vse what maner and forme of seruice he list, and other order aud discipline in his own parish, which these men seeke and striue to doe.
