CHAP. XIIII.
Of the supposed Innovations in the worship of God. Ce∣remonies no substantiall parts of Gods worship. The crimination, and a generall answer. Of standing at Gloria Patri. What will-worship is. Standing at the Gospell. Bowing at the name of Jesus. Of the name of Altar: and what sacrifice is admitted. Of the standing of the Altar. Of Communicants going up to the Altar to receive. Of the railes. Of bowing toward the Altar: and to the East: and turning that way when we pray. Of reading the second Service at the Altar.
