This is the practice on the reading of this prayer in the second lesson at
the parish church of Edgbaston, near Birmingham. It is probably a remanet
of the ancient practice in the Church, not only to stand up during the

resurrection of Christ--the Lord's Day; which still exists in the Greek
Church, and may be witnessed any Sunday in London, on visiting the recent
edifice in London Wall.
