And, where as M. Harding noteth further, that this Latin word, Iteretur, 1may stand as well with three, or four, or moe Masses, as with two, which thing is not denied, he might also as well have noted, that the same word Iteretur, importeth likewise one, and the self same Minister, and none other. For if the Second Communion be Ministered by an other Priest, and not by the same, it cannot rightly be said, Iteratur. And further, the same word necessarily signifieth, that one Communion was then in such cases ministered successively, and in order after an other: and not two Masses, or three, or four, or six, or ten together, all at once, as the manner is now in the Church of Rome.

Hereof M. Harding frameth us this formal Syllogismus: The cause, that moved Leo to take this order, was, that all, and every of the devout people might hear Mass: But it is likely, the people resorted to the Church at sundry times, some rather, some later, and not all at once: Ergo, It is likely, that to satisfy the peoples devotion, there were sundry Masses said in one day.
