Upon this resolution, that the Mass, as it is taken in general, is to be allowed: I enter further in reason with you, and make you this argument. If Private Mass, in respect only of that it is Private after your meaning, be reprovable, it is for the single Communion, that is to say, for that the priest receiveth the Sacrament alone: But the single Communion is lawful, yea good and godly: Ergo, the Private Mass in this respect that it is Private, is not reprovable, but to be allowed, holden for good and holy, and to be frequented. If you deny the first proposition or Major, then must you show for what else you do reprove Private Mass in respect only that it is Private, then for single Communion. If you show any thing else, then do you digress from our purpose, and declare that you reprove the Mass. The Minor you cannot deny, seeing you see, how sufficiently I have proved it. And so the Private Mass in that respect only it is private, is to be allowed for good, as the Mass is.
Vpon this resolution, that the Masse, as it is taken in general, is to be allowed: I enter further in reason with you, and make you this argument. If Priuate Masse, in respecte onely of that it is Priuate after your meaninge, be reproueable, it is for the single Communion, that is to saie, for that the priest receiueth the Sacrament alone: But the single Communion is lawful, yea good and godly: Ergo, the Priuate Masse in this respecte that it is Priuate, is not reproueable, but to be allowed, holden for good and holy, and to be frequented. If you denie the firste proposition or Maior, then muste you shewe for what els you doo reproue Priuate Masse in respecte onely that it is Priuate, then for single Communion. If you shewe any thinge els, then doo you digresse from our purpose, and declare that you reproue the Masse. The Minor you cannot denie, seinge you see, howe sufficiently I haue proued it. And so the Priuate Masse in that respecte onely it is priuate, is to be allowed for good, as the Masse is.
