Now M. Harding higheth him self unto the end of his authorities: and for speed is content to pass by the stories of Hilaria, Lucia, Maria Aegyptiaca, and others written, I suppose, in Legenda Aurea, of whom as it appeareth, he is certain that they said Mass a little before their departure hence. The like is also avouched for certain, of S. Ambrose lying in his death bed. But this thing seemeth marvellous in my judgement,1 that, not withstanding S. Ambrose were Bishop in Milan two and twenty years and more, being also so holy a man, as few the like in those days, yet M. Harding can not learn, that ever he said private Mass, but only when he lay breathless in his death bed.
Nowe M. Hardinge higheth him selfe vnto the ende of his authorities: and for speede is content to passe by the stories of Hilaria, Lucia, Maria Aegyptiaca, and others written, I suppose, in Legenda Aurea, of whome as it appeareth, he is certaine that they saide Masse a litle before their departure hence. The like is also auoutched for certaine, of S. Ambrose lieinge in his death bedde. But this thinge séemeth marucilous in my iudgement,1 that, not withstandinge S. Ambrose were Bishop in Millaine two and twentie yéeres and more, beinge also so holy a man, as few the like in those daies, yet M. Hardinge can not learne, that euer he saide priuate Masse, but onely when he lay breathlesse in his death bedde.
