be_v force_v to_o serve_v god_n in_o the_o same_o manner_n that_o be_v in_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o the_o mass_n o_o that_o we_o will_v imitate_v their_o fervour_n and_o piety_n their_o zeal_n and_o

chrysostome_n without_o any_o difference_n call_v it_o so_o say_v this_o table_n be_v full_a of_o spiritual_a fire_n for_o on_o this_o altar_n be_v god_n himself_o who_o be_v a_o consume_a fire_n and_o in_o another_o place_n he_o say_v the_o altar_n be_v dreadful_a and_o admirable_a for_o the_o sacrifice_n which_o be_v make_v on_o it_o and_o again_o the_o table_n supply_v the_o place_n of_o the_o manger_n whence_o optatus_n call_v it_o the_o seat_n of_o our_o lord_n q._n of_o what_o matter_n be_v they_o make_v a_o ever_o since_o pope_n silvester_n time_n which_o be_v above_o 1340_o year_n past_a they_o be_v of_o stone_n and_o be_v probable_a that_o it_o be_v so_o also_o in_o the_o apostle_n time_n for_o pope_n higin_n who_o be_v the_o ten_o from_o st._n peter_n ordain_v that_o

of_o stone_n a._n we_o may_v say_v that_o in_o a_o moral_a sense_n the_o stone_n be_v more_o solid_a not_o so_o porous_a as_o wood_n be_v general_o speak_v but_o in_o a_o mystical_a sense_n it_o be_v to_o represent_v the_o stone_n which_o be_v put_v on_o our_o saviour_n sepulchre_n and_o as_o that_o stone_n be_v seal_v so_o the_o altar-stone_n be_v seal_v and_o sign_v with_o five_o cross_n one_o in_o the_o middle_n and_o one_o in_o each_o corner_n to_o show_v that_o the_o catholic_n church_n extend_v to_o the_o four_o quarter_n of_o the_o world_n be_v unite_v in_o the_o cross_n of_o christ_n

that_o christ_n do_v carry_v his_o cross_n thither_o for_o our_o sake_n let_v we_o endeavour_v to_o follow_v he_o
