And, where as he pleadeth his to•ies, quoties, and thereby would erect a whole totquot of Masses, sans number, if he had advisedly considered out the whole sentence, he should better have espied out his own fol•e, and have had less occasion, to deceive the people. For Leo saith not, as M. Harding would force him to say, As often as any devout people cometh to Church, but, as it is said before, Quoties Basilicam praesentia novae plebis impleverit: As often as the presence of • new company shall have filled up the whole Church. In such cases it was lawful to ⟨p. 486⟩begin again the whole Communion, and not otherwise. By these words, M. Hardinges Totquot is much abridged.
And, where as he pleadeth his to•ies, quoties, and thereby woulde erecte a whole totquot of Masses, sans number, if he had aduisedly considered out the whole sentence, he shoulde better haue espied out his owne fol•e, and haue had lesse occasion, to deceiue the people. For Leo saithe not, as M. Hardinge woulde force him to say, As often as any deuoute people cometh to Churche, but, as it is saide before, Quoties Basilicam praesentia nouae plebis impleuerit: As often as the presence of • newe companie shal haue filled vp the whole Churche. In suche cases it was lawful to ⟨p. 486⟩beginne againe the whole Communion, and not otherwise. By these woordes, M. Hardinges Totquot is muche abbridged.
In the end he concludeth, not only against Leo his Author, but also against the very express order of his own Church, That one Priest, (for Leo speaketh only of one, and of no moe) may say Mass boldly without sticking, or staggering, as often as any people resorteth to him. For, now it is thought sufficient for one Priest, to say one Mass upon one day, and no moe. So it is determined by Pope Alexander, Sufficit Sacerdoti unam Missam in uno die celebrare. It is sufficient for a Priest to say one Mass upon a day.
