Now if a man would say, that this Council of Agatha, that is here brought in, by this word Missa, meant nothing else but ordinary prayers, in which signification the old writers, as I have proved, have often taken it, and so dispensed with them, that dwelt far from the Church, only to have such ordinary Prayers at home, and for the holy Communion to resort to the parish Churches, perhaps M. Harding should not find much to reply against it. If he will say, I force and rack this exposition only of me self, without president, it may please him to remember, that the same practise is yet continued until this day, in many parishes within this Realm:1 and that the law it self determineth a difference between Ecclesia parochialis, 2and Ecclessia Baptismalis.
