Now touching the matter, that by this Decree of Soter Bishop of Rome, it should then be lawful for the Priest there to say Mass, having only two others in his company, the state, & story of the time considered, it seemeth very unlikely. §1For both S. Augustine,1 and S. Hierome, who lived two hundred and fifty years after Soter, have recorded, that the people of Rome even in their time, used to receive the Communion together every day: which practise can hardly stand with §2that is here imagined.2 The words also them self, imply a manifest contrariety. For this word Solennia, which here is used, seemeth to import a solemn company, or resort of the people. And yet this Soter requiring to this action only the company of three persons, nevertheless calleth it Missarum Solennia.
