c It was ordained in the 2.

In which saying, he deceived not him self much. For, to take the Altar in that sense, which they of the popish church, here take it, and to do that which they do in it, is in very deed the hie way to hell: forasmuch they forsake Jesus Christ upon it, by whom only we are to be delivered thence. And therefore there is good cause, why the priest looketh downward, bowing him self
