166. Question.
But what thinkest thou of the name of the Sacrament of the Altar?
Answer. It is certain that there was some kind of altar set in a convenient place, ⟨image 117⟩whether the gifts and offerings were carried, (as also now the Popes Canon hath) out of which were taken bread & wine, which were appointed to the holy mysteries. And this was the Ambry as it were of these Love feasts, by the exam ple of Christ. And the Minister was wont to stand at that place blessing the bread and wine. But here see together with me the craft of Satan. For there is no doubt but using the occasion of this Altar he transformed the Sacrament into a Sacrifice, and that Propitiatory. But in the writings of the Apostles there is no mention of an Altar, but only of the Lords Table. Of so grease weight is it, not too bring any thing rashly, no vee it never so indifferent, into the Church.
