The sixth. They receiued it (c) 1.1 sitting: we kneeling according to Honorius decree.
The places of scripture that you quote in the margente to proue sitting at the communion, declare that Christe and his disciples sate* 1.2 at the table, but that proueth nothing. For you mighte as well haue sayde, they receiued after supper, we before dinner: they at nighte, we in the morning: they after meate, we before meate,
they in a priuate house we in the open Churche, they being all men and in number twelue, we togyther with women, not strictly obser∣uing the nūber of twelue or any other nūber aboue three or foure.
This your argument toucheth them as well as it doth vs, whiche receiue it standing or walking. But to sit, stande, kneele or walke be not of the substance of the Sacrament: and therfore no impediments why it may not be sincerely ministred.
It be houeth humble and meeke spirites, in such indifferent mat∣ters to submit themselues to the order of the Churche, appoynted by lawfull authoritie, and not to make schismes and contentions in the Church for the satisfying of their owne fantasies.

Kneeling and sitting at the Communion.
