As for S. Augustine, I must needs say, he hath taken wrong, and is il used at M. Hardinges hand, as being by violence, and perforce made both to suppress that he would say, and also to say that he would not say: and yet in the end saith not one word for private Mass, but plainly to the contrary. First he would have S. Augustine say,1 that the Sacrament of Christs Body to them of ⟨p. 63⟩the East was their daily Bread, yea although they daily received it not. This matter of it self is not weighty. Yet S. Augustine saith far otherwise, not in any other of his Books, but even in the self same sentence, where hence M. Harding had these words. For he addeth immediately, Unde probatur, non hunc in illis partibus intelligi quotidianum Panem. Nam magni peccati crimine arguerentur, qui ex illo non accipiunt quotidiè. Whereby it appeareth, that they of the East understand not the Sacrament to be their daily Bread. For then were they guilty of great sin, that do not daily receive it. But touching Private Mass, he saith thus, even in the same place, Panis quotidianus po•est accipi pro Sacramento Corporis Christi, quod quotidiè accipimus. The daily Bread may be taken for the Sacrament of Christs Body, which we receive every day. 2S. Augustine saith, The people then received the Sacrament every day: whereof it followeth necessarily, that the Private Mass was then said never a day.
As for S. Augustine, I must néedes say, he hath taken wronge, and is il vsed at M. Hardinges hande, as beinge by violence, and perforce made bothe to suppresse that he woulde say, and also to say that he woulde not say: and yet in the ende saithe not one woorde for priuate Masse, but plainely to the contrary. First he woulde haue S. Augustine say,1 that the Sa•rament of Christes Bodie to them of ⟨p. 63⟩the East was their dayly Breade, yea although they daily receiued it not. This mater of it selfe is not weighty. Yet S. Augustine saithe farre otherwise, not in any other of his Bookes, but euen in the selfe same sentence, where hence M. Hardinge had these woordes. For he addeth immediatly, Vnde probatur, non hunc in illis partibus intelligi quotidianum Panem. Nam magni peccati crimine arguerentur, qui ex illo non accipiunt quotidiè. Whereby it appeareth, that they of the East vnderstande not the Sacrament to be their daily Breade. For then were they giltie of greate sinne, that doo not daily receiue it. But touchinge Priuate Masse, he saith thus, euen in the same place, Panis quotidianus poest accipi pro Sacramento Corporis Christi, quod quotidiè accipimus. The daily Breade may be taken for the Sacrament of Christes Body, whiche wee receiue euery day.
