A little before M. Harding said, in Christs Institution three things are contained, Consecration, Oblation, Participation. Immediately after, as a man that had suddenly forgotten him self, he saith, The number of the Communicants together in one place, 1that they jangle so much of as a thing so necessary, is no part of Christs institution. It is no marvel though he can so il agree with the old Catholic Doctors, that falleth thus out so suddenly with him self. For if Participation be not necessary, how is it a part of Christs Institution? If it be a part of Christs Institution, how is it not necessary? He would fain convey Christs Institution, and his Mass both under one colour. But they are Contraries, the one of them betrayeth the other. As for the Priest, he taketh no part of the Sacrament with others, which is the nature, and meaning of this word Participation, but receiveth all alone. Thus it appeareth by M. Hardinges own confession, that Private Mass having no Participation of the Priest with others, & therefore no Participation at all, is no part of Christs Institution.
A litle before M. Hardinge saide, in Christes Institution thrée thinges are conteined, Consecration, Oblation, Participation. Immediatly after, as a man that had sodainely forgotten him selfe, he saith, The number of the Communicantes togeather in one place, 1that they iangle so muche of as a thinge so necessarie, is no parte of Christes institution. It is no maruel though he can so il agrée with ye olde Catholike Doctours, that falleth thus out so sodainely with him selfe. For if Participation be not necessarie, how is it a parte of Christes Institution? If it be a parte of Christes Institution, how is it not necessarie? He woulde faine conuey Christes Institution, and his Masse bothe vnder one colour. But they are Contraries, the one of them bewraieth the other. As for the Priest, he taketh no parte of the Sacrament with others, whiche is the nature, and meaninge of this woorde Participation, but receiueth al alone. Thus it appeareth by M. Hardinges owne confession, that Priuate Masse hauinge no Participation of the Priest with others, & therefore no Participation at al, is no parte of Christes Institution.
