Passage taken from 'The History of Pues' by John Mason Neale
Web site http://justus.anglican.org/resources/pc/neale/pues.html

In 1641, Dr. Pocklington, already hated by the Puritans for His Sunday no Sabbath, published his Altare Christianum. In the second edition of this work, he inserted the following passage, which is not to be found in the first:

"The practice of piety was then (in the Primitive Church) performed in kneeling before the Saviour and Redeemer. The stools they had were either none, or none but fallstools, to come and fall down and kneel before the LORD. (This etymology is, I need not say, more pious than correct.) Ambition to step up into the highest rooms and seats, and there to enclose and enthronize themselves, was confined to pharisaical feasts and synagogues; holy men and good Christians had no such custom in those times - sought no such state and ease - nor did the Church of God. The Churches of God did and do detest the profaneness that is and may be committed in close and exalted pews".

This book was licensed by Dr. Bray, domestic chaplain to Archbishop Laud, a man mentioned favourably in a letter written to that holy Martyr by Dr. Montague, when Bishop of Chichester. But afterwards changing his principles, he wrote A Sermon of the Blessed Sacrament, professedly in answer to Pocklington's Altare Christianum. At. p. 52, is the following sentence. "He (Pocklington) saith that close and exalted pews are profane, and were detested by the Church of God. Which is but his foolish and fond conceit."

The end of Pocklington's history is soon told Feb. 12 1641, it was ordered by the House of Lords that he should be deprived, his two books publickly burnt by the common hangman, and himself made incapable of preferment, and forbidden to go to court. Soon after, says Walker, he died of grief.
