if_o the_o altar_n be_v measure_v which_o be_v jewish_n and_o not_o christian_a than_o we_o ought_v to_o have_v a_o altar_n yea_o one_o set_v form_n of_o altar_n under_o the_o gospel_n who_o doubt_v but_o the_o altar_n be_v also_o measure_v for_o the_o text_n say_v it_o express_o now_o by_o altar_n be_v mean_v the_o worship_n as_o by_o temple_n the_o church_n and_o so_o it_o be_v common_o use_v in_o all_o the_o new_a testament_n the_o altar_n be_v put_v by_o synecdoche_n locum_fw-la piscator_fw-la in_o locum_fw-la for_o all_o the_o worship_n in_o the_o gospel_n as_o the_o temple_n for_o the_o church_n and_o here_o master_n prin_fw-mi give_v a_o good_a encouragement_n to_o the_o papist_n for_o the_o maintenance_n of_o their_o altar_n if_o he_o will_v interpret_v these_o scripture_n

that_o there_o may_v be_v altar_n now_o for_o that_o he_o say_v it_o refer_v to_o the_o jewish_a not_o christian_n church_n if_o he_o mean_v by_o refer_v that_o there_o be_v use_v the_o term_n give_v

of_o their_o discipline_n and_o worship_n nothing_o can_v be_v more_o absurd_a because_o that_o church-state_n they_o be_v in_o be_v disannul_v and_o new_a ordinance_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v bring_v
