Now, if M. Ivel be not so precise in his judgement of allowing the first six hundred years after Christ, as to condemn the Church that followed in the next generation: then we may allege unto him the twelfth Council of Toledo in Spain, holden in the year of our Lord 680. for proof that many Masses were celebrated in one Church in one day. For the same appeareth plainly by this Decree of the Fathers there. Relatū nobis est, quosdā de Sacerdotibus non tot vicibus Communionis Sanctae gratian sumere, quot Sacrificia in una die videntur offerre: 1sed in uno die, si plurima per se Deo offerant Sacrificia, in omnibus se Oblationibus à Communion suspendunt, & in sola tantùm extrema Sacrificij Oblation Communionis Sanctae gratiam sumunt. Quasi non sit •o•ies illis veto & singulari Sacrificio participandum, quoties Corporis & Sanguinis Domini nostri Jesu Christi in molatio facta constiterit. 2Nam ecce Apostolus dicit: Nonne qui edunt Hostias, participes sunt Altaris? Certum est, quòd hi qui Sacrificantes non edunt, […]sunt Dominici Sacramenti. Quicunque ergo Sacerdotum demceps Divino Alta•io Sacrificium Oblaturus accesserit, & see à Communione suspenderit, ab ipsa, qua se indecenter privavit, gra••a Con munionis anno […]repu••um •e noverit. Nam quale erit illud Sacrificium, cui nec ipse Sacrificans particeps esse cognoscitur? Ergo modis omnibus st tnendum, ut quoescunque Sacrificans Corpus & Sanguinem Domini nostri Jesu Christi in Altario imolat, tos perceptionis Corporis & Sanguinis Christi se participem praebeat. It is showed unto us, that there be certain Priests, who do not receive the grace of the Holy Communion so many times, how many Sacrifices they seem to offer in one day. But if they offer up to God many Sacrifices by them selves in one day, in all those Oblations they suspend them selves from the Conion, and receive the grace of the Holy Communion only at the last Oblation of the Sacrifice, as though they ought not so oftentimes to be partakers of that true and singular Sacrifice, as the Sacrifice of the Body and Blood of our Lord Jesus Christ hath been done. For behold the Apostle saith, Be not they, which eat Sacrifices,
