,
From
all
which
particular
passages
we
may
clearly
discerne
,
That
one
of
the
first
things
which
our
owne
&
other
reformed
Churches
did
upon
the
bringing
in
of
Religion
&
abolishing
of
Popery
,
was
the
breaking
downe
and
abandoning
of
Altars
,
together
with
their
name
,
and
placing
of
Communion
Tables
in
their
steed
;
that
the
first
thing
againe
,
the
Papists
did
,
upon
the
restitution
of
Popery
,
was
the
erecting
of
Altars
,
&
casheering
Communion
Tables
.
That
the
setting
up
of
Altars
,
&
turning
Communion
Tables
into
Altars
,
or
Altarwise
,
is
to
no
other
end
,
but
to
usher
Masses
&
Popery
(
the
inseperable
concommitants
&
followers
of
Altars
which
cannot
subsist
without
them
)
into
our
Church
againe
;
That
our
godly
Martyrs
,
Princes
,
Prelates
,
writers
yea
and
our
Church
itselfe
,
have
constantly
both
in
their
Iudgments
,
practise
,
&
disputes
,
condemned
Altars
,
as
Iewish
,
Heathenish
,
Popish
&
unlawfull
unto
Christians
;
That
they

&
that
to

And
that
the

All
this
being

I

why

of

prove
it
not
to
be

;
nor
yet
the

that

properly
be
so
termed
.
Therfore
they
(
prochance
)
might
lawfully
use
these
termes
,
though
we
may
not
:
And
yet
which
shewes
,
that

them
,
since
all

&

should

,
it
would
not
only
as

apparantly
manifests
.
To
the
second
and
maine
reason
;
I
answer
1.
That
the

this
observation

I
answer
,
that

rather
the
contrary

For
the
of

thus
