The Bishop of Rome saith he, sent the Sacrament unto them, that came out of Asia: Ergo, there was Private Mass.
The Bishop of Rome saithe he, sent ye Sacrament vnto them, that came out of Asia: Ergo, there was Priuate Masse.
This Conclusion is far feet, and hangeth loosely. For I might demand, which then of the three said Mass? He that sent the Sacrament: or he that received it: or else the Messenger that brought it? It were a strange matter to see a Mass, and yet no man to say Mass. Verily Irenaeus hath not one word, neither of the Communion, nor of the Mass: onelesse M. Harding will say, that Mitre 1is Latin to Communicate: or Mitre Eucharistiam, is Latin to say Mass.

If it were Common Bread, then was it but a present: If it were the Sacrament, then was it to be received, not straight upon the way, or perhaps late in the night, or in the Inn at the common table among other meats: but afterward at his pleasure in his Congregation. Thus we see this place first is doubtful: and being never so plain, yet it proveth nothing for Private Mass. But immediately after followeth a manifest mention, in what order the Bishops used then to Communicate together: which thing M. Harding thought better to dissemble.
