likewise_o as_o some_o do_v parallel_v this_o place_n for_o table_n with_o another_o of_o a_o much_o like_a nature_n for_o the_o name_n altar_n namely_o that_o heb._n 13._o where_o the_o apostle_n say_v we_o i._n e._n wee_a christian_n have_v a_o altar_n whereof_o they_o have_v no_o right_a to_o eat_v which_o serve_v at_o the_o tabernacle_n i_o know_v what_o you_o will_v be_v ready_a to_o except_v namely_o that_o by_o the_o altar_n here_o name_v be_v mean_v christ_n which_o i_o for_o my_o own_o part_n shall_v willing_o admit_v so_o it_o be_v understand_v with_o this_o caution_n christ_n as_o he_o be_v to_o be_v eat_v in_o the_o eucharist_n for_o the_o apostle_n speak_v here_o of_o a_o altar_n to_o be_v eat_v of_o which_o be_v not_o the_o material_a instrument_n or_o seat_n but_o the_o sacrifice_n use_v thereon_o thus_o if_o these_o two_o place_n capable_a of_o if_o not_o require_v the_o like_a interpretation_n be_v set_v the_o one_o against_o the_o other_o we_o have_v not_o all_o this_o while_n find_v one_o jott_n more_o for_o the_o antiquity_n of_o the_o name_n table_n than_o of_o altar_n apost_n but_o now_o to_o answer_v more_o direct_o to_o the_o question_n whether_o the_o name_n of_o altar_n be_v use_v in_o the_o church_n before_o 200._o year_n after_o christ_n or_o not_o i_o answer_v it_o be_v for_o proof_n whereof_o why_o may_v i_o not_o allege_v the_o canon_n call_v the_o apostle_n which_o though_o the_o apostle_n compile_v not_o yet_o be_v more_o ancient_a sure_a at_o least_o many_o of_o they_o then_o 200._o year_n after_o christ_n be_v

may_v be_v admit_v i_o think_v to_o give_v evidence_n according_a to_o the_o age_n thereof_o beside_o if_o it_o be_v credible_a that_o the_o apostle_n or_o those_o to_o who_o they_o commit_v the_o church_n apostolical_a man_n may_v leave_v unto_o the_o church_n some_o rule_n of_o order_n &_o discipline_n beside_o those_o mention_v in_o scripture_n and_o whence_o otherwise_o shall_v those_o catholic_a and_o general_o receive_v tradition_n of_o the_o church_n be_v derive_v why_o may_v not_o some_o of_o these_o which_o bear_v that_o name_n be_v of_o that_o number_n and_o if_o any_o be_v than_o none_o more_o likely_a than_o those_o which_o be_v first_o in_o order_n namely_o because_o collection_n of_o this_o nature_n be_v wont_n in_o process_n of_o time_n like_o snowball_n to_o receive_v increase_n by_o new_a addition_n ever_o and_o anon_o put_v unto_o they_o and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o continue_v still_o the_o name_n &_o title_n of_o their_o first_o author_n though_o sometime_o not_o the_o one_o half_a of_o the_o content_n will_v be_v own_v by_o they_o upon_o which_o supposition_n we_o have_v for_o the_o resolve_v of_o the_o present_a question_n as_o much_o
