If M. Ivel agnise and accept for good the authority of this Council, as the Church doth, then must he allow these many things, which he, and the Sacramentaries to the uttermost of their power and cunning, labour to disprove, and deface. First, the blessed Sacrifice of the Mass, which the Fathers of this Council call the true and singular Sacrifice, the Sacrifice of the Body and blood of our Lord Jesus Christ, which the Priest offereth on the altar. Next, the trueth, and real presence of the Body and Blood of our Lord in the Sacrifice offered. Then Altars, which this Council calleth divine or holy, for the divine and holy things on them offered, the Body and Blood of Christ. Furthermore, the (200)1 multitude of Masses in one day.

For where as no word in this Decree is uttered, whereby it may appear, the people to be of necessity required to receive, if the Priests had received them selves at every Mass, no fault had been found. And if the people had received without the Priests, in this case it had been reason, this Decree should otherwise have been expressed.
