Foxe’s “Book of Martyrs”
“… by reason whereof, as Printing of Books ministered matter of Reading, so Reading brought Learning, Learning showed Light,; by the brightness whereof blind Ignorance was Suppress'd, Error Detected, and finally God's Glory with Truth of his Word Advanced. And thus much for the worthy Commendation of Printing."

“… when a Puritan adopted a prayerful attitude upon
opening a Bible, his or her bodily posture (inclined
head, eyes closed, folded palms) was unconsciously
assumed, based on the thousands of times this
ritualized activity had been performed from
childhood on. Moreover, this posture and attitude
predisposed the individuals to patterned thought
processes and so to specific affective states …
somatically invoked.”
Gary Ebersole, Captured by Texts
