Ephesians 3:14

14 For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,

Ver. 14. For this cause ] sc. That ye faint not, but gather strength.

I bow my knees ] A most seemly and suitable gesture, usual among all nations but Turks, who kneel not, nor uncover the head at prayer, as holding those postures unmanly. And yet they pray five times every day (saith Mr Terry), what occasion soever they have either by profit or pleasure to divert them.
