The holy Supper of the Lord.

Christ made his Supper vppon a table.

The Supper of the reformed Churches.

We do also celebrate the Supper vpon a table, and not vp∣on an altar. An altar is for sacrifice, and sacrifices cea∣sed with the death of Christ. Therefore neede we no al∣tar. A table is to suppe on. Saint Paul cals it the Lords supper, 1. Cor. chap. 11. 20. whereuppon it followeth, that it being a Supper, vpon a table (and not an altar) it is to be celebrated: therefore is our supper, the Supper of the Lord.

The prophane Masse of the Pope.

The Popish Priest must haue an altar, which he calleth con∣secrated. An altar (I say) in a hole in the middest where∣of (which they call the Sepulchre) is put a peece of some reliques: and if the altar be not consecrate, then must he haue a marble stone, which they call a consecrate altar in the border whereof are little peeces of cloth, which they cal Corporales. All which Durandus in his booke intituled Rationale diuinorum, hath diligently trauelled to declare: therefore the Masse is not the Suppet of the Lord.
