it_o be_v manifest_a by_o that_o which_o have_v be_v say_v cap._n 11._o and_o 12._o that_o the_o lord_n table_n do_v not_o stand_v where_o every_o one_o of_o what_o rank_n soever_o may_v see_v it_o

stand_v or_o so_o much_o as_o see_v the_o mystery_n belong_v to_o that_o holy_a sacrament_n hence_o it_o be_v that_o none_o of_o these_o but_o fideles_fw-la do_v understand_v saint_n augustine_n text_n but_o let_v they_o come_v and_o be_v baptise_a than_o they_o may_v for_o the_o table_n be_v set_v in_o the_o midst_n for_o all_o that_o be_v fideles_fw-la to_o be_v partaker_n thereof_o ob._n but_o saint_n augustine_n say_v plain_o in_o medi●_n constituta_fw-la it_o be_v set_v in_o the_o midst_n and_o in_o the_o midst_n it_o can_v not_o stand_v if_o all_o as_o well_o one_o as_o other_o may_v not_o come_v equal_o to_o it_o sol._n this_o phrase_n imply_v no_o more_o but_o that_o the_o altar_n be_v so_o fix_v that_o all_o those_o may_v take_v the_o benefit_n thereof_o to_o who_o in_o right_n it_o belong_v as_o all_o know_v that_o understand_v latin_a or_o english_a take_v the_o warrant_n of_o holy_a scripture_n for_o it_o 25.14_o god_n be_v say_v to_o walk_v in_o the_o midst_n of_o the_o camp_n of_o the_o israelite_n yet_o we_o know_v he_o do_v not_o walk_v in_o the_o midst_n of_o they_o as_o this_o man_n call_v the_o midst_n i._n nei●ther_n in_o the_o front_n wing_n or_o

as_o true_o say_v to_o walk_v in_o the_o midst_n as_o he_o be_v say_v to_o stand_v in_o the_o midst_n when_o the_o cloud_n stand_v over_o the_o tabernacle_n which_o be_v proper_o in_o the_o midst_n 14.14_o in_o like_a manner_n the_o altar_n may_v be_v say_v to_o stand_v in_o the_o midst_n of_o the_o presbytery_n though_o it_o stand_v at_o the_o upper_a end_n of_o the_o choir_n as_o the_o lord_n be_v in_o the_o midst_n of_o the_o people_n when_o he_o go_v before_o they_o or_o behind_o they_o wherefore_o if_o the_o author_n desire_v to_o know_v how_o the_o table_n do_v not_o stand_v in_o the_o midst_n of_o the_o church_n among_o the_o people_n let_v he_o read_v a_o book_n which_o he_o be_v in_o reason_n bind_v to_o read_v before_o he_o cite_v he_o st._n augustine_n in_o the_o place_n allege_v and_o he_o shall_v be_v satisfy_v that_o s._n augustine_n make_v utter_o against_o his_o purpose_n but_o if_o he_o have_v look_v well_o upon_o saint_n augustine_n orthodox_n and_o observe_v how_o he_o invite_v both_o audientes_fw-la catechumeni_fw-la competentes_fw-la and_o neophyti_n which_o we_o be_v sure_o can_v be_v neither_o priest_n nor_o deacon_n to_o give_v up_o their_o name_n that_o they_o may_v be_v baptise_a and_o so_o be_v make_v partaker_n as_o well_o of_o christ_n blood_n as_o of_o his_o body_n for_o all_o these_o be_v invite_v to_o eat_v christ_n flesh_n and_o drink_v his_o blood_n and_o no_o bar_n be_v put_v in_o against_o they_o though_o they_o be_v layman_n and_o can_v be_v no_o other_o but_o layman_n but_o only_o that_o they_o do_v as_o yet_o remain_v in_o those_o inferior_a order_n he_o may_v from_o hence_o have_v draw_v a_o necessary_a conclusion_n in_o defence_n of_o the_o practice_n of_o our_o church_n that_o layman_n in_o saint_n augustine_n time_n do_v receive_v the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n in_o both_o kind_n and_o so_o be_v all_o alike_o able_a to_o understand_v his_o text_n touch_v the_o eat_n of_o christ_n flesh_n and_o drink_v of_o his_o blood_n by_o frame_v this_o argument_n out_o of_o saint_n augustine_n he_o may_v have_v do_v the_o church_n true_a and_o acceptable_a service_n whereas_o by_o wrest_v saint_n
