It is wonderful to see, how handsome constructions these men make of these words of S. Paul, Touching the rest, I will take order when I come. For upon these words they build their Private Mass, even in such form as it is now used in. As if S. Paul should say thus, At my coming I will take order, that ye shall have Mass in a strange tongue: that ye shall receive alone: that ye shall not look, and wait one for an other, notwithstanding any my former commandment: that ye shall not need to meet together: that one shall receive for all the rest: and so at my coming I will undo, what so ever hitherto I have ordained.

For vpon these woordes they builde their Priuate Masse, euen in suche forme as it is now vsed in. As if S. Paule shoulde saye thus, At my comminge I wil take order, that ye shal haue Masse in a strange tongue: that ye shal receiue alone: that ye shal not looke, and waite one for an other, notwithstanding any my former cōmaundement: that ye shal not neede to meete togeather: that one shal receiue for al the rest: and so at my comming I wil vndoo, what so euer hitherto I haue ordeined.
