Hart. That which you touch, as foolishly noted by our qRhemists, about the Greek and Hebrew word, is noted very truly. For you can not deny your self, but that it signifieth properly an altar, a material altar to sacrifice upon, and not a metaphorical and spiritual altar. Whereby as they conclude that we have not a common table, or profane communion board to eat mere bread upon, but a very altar in the proper sense to sacrifice Christs body upon: so for proof hereof they add, that, in respect of the said body sacrificed, it is also called an altar of the Fathers, even of rGregory Nazianzene, sChrysostom, tSocrates, uAugustine, and xTheophylact. And when it is called a table, it is in respect of the ⟨p. 551⟩heavenly food of Christs body and blood received.
