Pope Leo saith, Upon one day it is lawful to say but one Mass in one Church: These men say daily in one Church commonly ten Masses, twenty, thirty, yea often times moe. So that the poor gazer on can scant tell which way he were best to turn him self. Pope Gelasius saith, It is a wicked deed, and subject to Sacrilege in any man, to divide the Communion, and, when he hath received one Kind, to abstain from the other. These men, contrary to God's Word, and contrary to Pope Gelasius, command, that one Kind only of the Holy Communion be given the people: and by so doing, they make their Priests guilty of Sacrilege.
