Harding cannot deny, S. Augustine speaketh of the Communion, and not of the Mass.1 To the same end S. Gregory ministered the holy Communion at three sundry times upon Christmas day. Thus upon occasion of great resort, the Mass, or Communion that day was twice, or thrice, or oftener said: not, that the people should hear Mass, as M. Harding wittingly mistaketh it, but that the whole people might Communicate. Which thing of late years, because through disuse they knew not,2 what it meant, they turned it only to a fantastical Mystery, that the First Mass signified the time of ignorance before the Law: the Second, the time in the Law: the Third, the time of Grace.
