Of the Grecians order in this behalf, your great, and special Doctor, Cardinal Bessarion, 1being him self a Greek borne, saithe thus, Hoc ipse ordo rerum poscebat: primùm, Consecrare: deinde, Frangere: posteà, distribuere: Quod nos in praesenti facimus: This the very order of the things required: first, that we should Consecrate, 2or Bless the Bread: Next, that we should Break it: Last of all, that we should Divide it, (or deliver it to the people). Which thing we (Grecians) do at this present day. Thus you see, M. Harding, that the Grecians this day Consecrate, Break, and Divide the Sacrament unto the people, as we do. Therefore it is untrue, that you say, They have this day your Private Mass.
