  Jesu-vvorship confuted, or, Certain arguments against bowing at the name Jesus proving it to be idolatrous and superstitious and so utterly unlawful : with objections to the contrary fully answered / by H.B.

summary:
  That the first is true , to wit , that the worshipping of the name JESUS painted on a Wall is idolatry , no good and sound Protestant will deny , for , there is this same reason thereof , as of all other Image-worship , names being a kind of the things they represent or intend . The reason of this act is taken from the practice of the IESU-Worshippers , who never use any adoration or signe of reverence when JEHOVAH is named , but only when JESUS is named they give both outward and inward adoration to the name JESUS , but not to the name JEHOVAH :

  The true state of Christianity, truly discribed, and also discovered unto all people what it was in its beginning and purity, and what it now is in its apostacy and degeneration ... / written by ... Edward Burrough.

  Ortholatreia: or, A brief discourse concerning bodily worship: proving it to be Gods due; to be given unto him with acceptation on his part, and not to be denyed him without sin, on ours. A thing worthy to be taken into consideration in these dayes, wherein prophaness and irreverence toward the sacred Majesty of God hath so much corrupted our religious assemblies, that men are regardless of their being before God, or of Gods being amongst them in his own house. / By S.G. late preacher of the Word of God in the Cathedrall Church of Peterburgh.

summary:
  The consideration of which , is necessary for these days of ours , wherein there is great murmuring , that Corporal Reverence and Worship should be given unto God ; and it is not onely neglected and opposed , but branded with ignominy , slander , and reproach ; which , whether they be just , or injurious , I shall ( God willing ) according to my ability , endeavour to make appear , in this ensuing Discourse upon a portion of Scripture which alludeth to that Subject : Adorabis Dominum Deum tuum : Although Worship , or Adoration , be not there expresly mentioned in the letter , yet , no doubt but it is implicitely included ; and that God saith to every one , in every religious action , ( and so of Worship or Adoration in particular ) Give me thy heart : For indeed , God requires the heart , and hath respect unto it , principally , first , and before the body : * All our Service and Worship being neither accepted nor respected with him , if our heart go not along with our body in the performance of it .

  Why should the Gesture be scrupled at more than the Voice , or the Bowing of my Knees be esteemed incongruous and unfitting , any more than moving my Tongue , or raising my Hands and Eyes to Heaven ? Especially if we consider , that the high degree of Honour and Glory to which our Lord is advanced in the Heavens by God the Father , as the reward of his Humble and Submissive Obedience here on Earth , challenges from us all manner of Respect and Reverence both of Soul and Body , He Humbled himself , and became Obedient into Death , even the Death of the Cross Wherefore God hath highly exalted him , and given him a Name which is above every Name , that at the Name of Jesus every Knee should Bow , &c. and that every Tongue should Confess that Jesus Christ is Lord , to the Glory of God the Father . we Feast upon the memorials of the great Sin-Offering : And in so doing , we make an open Confession and Acknowledgment of our Guilt and Unworthiness to God , and we plead with him in the Vertue of his Sons Blood which was shed for us , for the Pardon and Remission of all our Sins .

  The second part of a plain discourse of an unlettered Christian wherein by way of demonstration hee shevveth vvhat the reasons bee vvhich hee doth ground upon in refusing conformity to kneeling in the act of receiving the Lords Supper / by Tho. Dighton ...

summary:
  Seing then the sacraments and whatsoeuer is sacramentall ( as a gesture in the act of receaving is ) are ordeined not by man but by God , not for any worldly , carnall or civill respects as to testifie our obedience to the magistrate which yet I confesse must most cheerfully be manifested , but meerly and properly for spirituall vses , euen to nourish our soules by sealing vp unto our hearts the assurance and certeintie of the couenant of grace in the free pardon of all our sins through the sole merit of the most pretious blood of our Lord Iesus Christ , most liuely represented , and truly or effectually exhibited to every faithfull beleeuer herein ? let vs hold fast the right order and forme of administration thereof in all the signs elementall or ceremoniall , euen in all the actions , gestures , or ceremonies , which by Christ himself in the first administration being vsed , and neuer after repealed not any other by his warrant established come within the compasse of diuine institution ? Ieast wittingly , though wee pretend vnwillingly conforming to the alteration of the signe ( though but ceremoniall ) wee depriue our selues of that which stands in relation therevnto ( which is substantiall ) . This Sacrament was ordained , not to nourish to a carnall or temporall life , but to a holy and spirituall , that so in all the occasions and occurrences of this world , we might liue by faith , and be made able more and more to bring forth the fruits thereof , it must of necessity therefore follow , that this ceremonial signe or gesture , or any thing essentially necessary in the act of receiving this holy nourishment , may not be carnall , or of humane devising , but holy and spirituall , not onely in the intention of the party ( for so was theirs to the Calfe ) but of divine ordinance , or else whatsoever the world esteemes of it , it is most abhominable unto God , and dare we then conforme unto it ? so that what gesture soever is proposed , if Christ haue not ordained it , it is strange and vnlawfull , and so not being holy , conformity thereto is hatefull , for none can make a gesture for the sacrament holy , but onely he that may ordaine a sacrament .

summary:
  Since the Kinge himselfe , with all the greate Officers of the State , the Prelates and Ministers of the Church , are better , more honorable , and more to be respected , ( as they are publicke persons and Officers ) then as they are private men ; And since it will hereupon necessarily ensue , That the very essence of the D●itie and name of God , ( which are common to each of the Three persons in the Trinitie , as we learne in Athanasius Creede ) should be worser then , inferior to the personall subsistence and names of each person in the Trinity , which are proper and incommunicable one to the other , where as the essence and name of the Deitie are common to each three persons : Which were heresie and Blasphemy to affirme , yea the (k) very heresie of Nestorious condemned in the Councell of Ephesus : Whether it be not (l) heresie to say , that Christ is not God , nor the name Christ the name of God ? it beeing directly contrary to Rom. 9.5 .

Whether bowinge at the name of Iesus , be not divine worship and adoration , given immediately , either to the person or name of Iesus , or to both ?

  What Fathers or ancient Records doe testifie , that bowing at the name of Iesus was used in the primitive Church ; and what are their words ?

VVhether Popes , or Popish Councels and Authours were not the first broachers , and chiefe propagatours of this Ceremony ? What difference is there betweene Papists and Protestants bowing at the name of Iesus , since Protestants condemne them for this Ceremony , and yet doe use it ? VVhat reasons are there , that men should bow onely at the name of Iesus , more than at the name of Saviour , which is the same with Iesus ; or at the name of Emmanuel , God , or the like ?

  Certain reasons of a private Christian against conformitie to kneeling in the very act of receiving the Lords Supper. By Tho: Dighton Gent

summary:
  And the rest of our Saviours cariage ( who is Lord and blessed for ever ) when he would manifestly and mightly declare himselfe to bee the onely and sole king or supreame head of his Church : in generall , and of all the nationall ▪ or severall congregations therein in particular by exercising dominion not onely in the fundamentall points of faith and justification , but in everie things of Religious use seeme it never so small even in these circumstances or appurtenances seemed unto flesh and bloud something rude and indiscreet , and that the businesse was not so carried as the peace of that Church wherein he was borne and bred required , or as the reverence of the Ecclesiasticall persons in authority deserued , yea seeing as carnall reason doth think and censure ) these matters were but things indifferent ; though there was questionles many excellent parts in him , yet his discenting from the Church government , so ancient & so reverent , yea and by generall consent uppon most graue and learned consultation with all possible wisdom , with such good successe so long established , must needs argue exceeding great weaknes in him ( by our learned adversaries louely oratory ) because hee was so violent in these small triviall matters as if the verie substance of Religion had consisted in them , surelie ( goodmen ) they seeme to be hartelie sorie that he overshot himselfe more in this then all the things that ever he did in his whole life , and did not performe this action with such moderation and discretion as was fit , and as a matter of such high consequence deserved , notwithstanding all this , and whatsoever had been or shall be said against such proceedings , I humblie beseech all such as unfeinedlie desire to serve the Lord Christ to Remember , that it is as a perpetuall law to bind Gods servannts even all posteritie for ever , that , when the outward and publick worship of God is thus corrupted and defiled by mens Inventions in the ceremonies , callings gestures and actions thereof , all those in whom the spirit of true Zeale doth abide must be so far of from conforming upon any termes unto these things , or any of them as upon pain of Gods high displeasure ( according as it is written of them ) they must in one degree or other manifest their Iudgement in the dislike of them and everie of them yea though they expose their persons , their credit and reputations to the like disgraces and Rebukes by so doing . Now the God of peace , who will shortly send our Lord Iesus to make triall of every mans worke , preserue and keepe you , and make you wise according unto godlinesse , that you may discerne things that differ , and so be of one minde and of one practise , and so may haue peace , not with the world , for all that will liue godly , and conforme onely to him , must haue tribulation therein ; but with God , and amongst your selues having your consciences pure within , and liues outwardly unspotted in the world , for nothing is availeable but a new creature , godlinesse is the morter whereby the house of God is builded : all the gifts of Art and nature without this , do pull downe and not set vp ; yea , though they haue both zeale and knowledge .

  LAstly , for iustifying of Kneeling it is affirmed , that it is indifferent whether wee Sit , Stand , or Kneele , seeing Christ did Sit , when he did eate the Passeouer , whereas God commanded the children of Israel in Egypt to eate the Passeouer Standing , and some reformed Churches receiue Standing . Before Kneeling by authoritie was enioined , it was lawfull for vs , and all men , to question about the lawfulnesse thereof : but being once appointed , now to resuse to bow , sauoureth not of his spirit , which said : If any man be contentious , we haue no such custome , nor the Church of God n .
