'Tis true, Altars were holy before Christ came, who was promised by it, but after he entred into the most holy place, it was repealed and rejected; it is therefore Judisme, to retaine Altars still in their Churches, the Primative times knowing no such Alters, neither have they any colour for their Altars out of that place, Heb. 13. 10. We have an Altar, where∣of they have no authority to eate which serve in the Tabernacle, &c. which plate they alledge for the maintenance of their Al∣tars, for the Apostle speaketh there, of no materiall Altar, but of the death and passion of Christ, as it followeth, ver. 17. their
