But (saith M. Harding) Soter requireth only the presence of two, and these two were not commanded to Communicate: Ergo, the priest did receive alone: and so there was undoubtedly Private Mass. But mark well a little (good Reader.) If these two were bound to Communicate with the priest, then notwithstanding this Decree, M. Harding hath not yet found his private Mass. Then consider this Decree written in the name of Pope Calixtus: Peracta Consecratione,1 omnes Communicent, qui noluerint Ecclesiasticis carere liminibus. Sic enim & Apostoli statuerunt, & Sancta Romana tenet Ecclesia. The Consecration being done,2 set all Communicate, onlesse they will be removed from the Church.3 For so the Apostles appointed, and so holdeth the holy Church of Rome. By this Decree these two were bound, either to Communicate with the priest, or to depart forth of the Church. If they did Communicate, then hath M. Harding here no Private Mass: If they departed forth, then could the priest say no Mass at all: for Soter at least requireth the presence of two.
But (saith M. Hardinge) Soter requireth onely the praesence of two, and these two were not commaunded to Communicate: Ergo, the priest did receiue alone: and so there was vndoubtedly Priuate Masse. But marke wel a litle (good Reader.) If these two were bounde to Communicate with ye priest, then notwithstanding this Decrée, M. Hardinge hath not yet founde his priuate Masse. Then consider this Decrée written in the name of Pope Calixtus: Peracta Consecratione,1 omnes Communicent, qui noluerint Ecclesiasticis carere liminibus. Sic enim & Apostoli statuerūt, & Sancta Romana tenet Ecclesia. The Consecration beinge doone,2 set al Communicate, onlesse they wil be remoued from the Churche.3 For so the Apostles appointed, and so holdeth the holy Churche of Rome. By this Decrée these two were bounde, either to Communicate with ye priest, or to departe foorth of the Churche. If they did Communicate, then hath M. Hardinge here no Priuate Masse: If they departed foorthe, then coulde the prieste saye no Masse at al: for Soter at least requireth the presence of two.
