Chich. O what vain glory is in you, as though you understood all thing, & other men nothing. Hear me: I will show you the true understanding, both of the altar, & the offering on the altar. We have an altar (said Paul) that ye may not eat of▪ 1meaning thereby that no man might eat of that which was offered on the altar, but the Priest. For in Pauls time all the living that the Priest had, the people came & offered it on the altar, money or other things: and when the people came to offer it, and then remembered that they had any thing against their brother, then they left their offering upon the altar, and went & were reconciled to their brother: and they came again and offered their gift, and the Priest had it. This is the true understanding of the place that you have rehearsed: wherefore you be deceived.
