Damasus Bishop of Rome in S. Hieromes times writeth in libro pontificali, that Milciades Pope and Martyr,1 ordained that the Sacrament in sundry portions consecrated by a Bishop, should be sent abroad among the Churches for cause of Heretics, that the Catholic people of the Churches, (which word here signifieth as the Greek word [Greek or Hebrew] doth, so as it is not necessary to understand, that the Sacrament was directed only to the material* Churches, but to the people of the Parishes) might receive the Catholic Communion, and not communicate with Heretics. Which doubtless must be understanded of this private and single Communion in each Catholic mans house, and that where Heretics bare the sway, and Priests might not be suffered to consecrate after the Catholic usage. Else if the Priests might without let or disturbance have so done, then what need had it been for Milciades to have made such a provision, for sending abroad hosts sanctified for that purpose, by the Consecration of a Bishop? The place of Damasus hath thus. Milciades fecit,3 ut oblations consecratae per Ecclesias ex consecratu Episcopi, (propter Haereticos) dirigerentur, Milciades ordained that consecrated hosts should be sent abroad ⟨p. 54⟩amongst the Churches, prepared by the consecration of a Bishop. The two words, propter haereticos, for Heretics, added by Ado, the writer of Martyrs lives openeth the meaning and purport of that Decree.
