Now let us see what examples of the old Fathers we have for the Private Mass.1 Leontius a Greek Bishop of a City in the East Church called Neapolis, writeth the life of S. John the holy Patriarch of Alexandria, who for his great charity was commonly called* Eleemosynarius, that is the alms giver, telleth this story, whereby it appeareth, that at that time Private Mass was used. Though the translator through ignorance of the time he lived in, turned this life into Latin of mean eloquence, yet for truths sake, I will not let to recite that which I take for my purpose, as I find it. Malitiam reseruantem quendam industrium contra alium principem, audiens hic magnus Joannes, monuit eum saepe, & suasit ad concordiam, & non potuit eum conuertere ad pacem.

Cum ergo sancta benedixisset Patriarcha, & orationem dominicam inchoasset, coepe•unt dicere tantū tres illi, Pater noster. Et cum peruenissent ad sermonem quo dicitur, dimitte nobis debita nostra, sicut & nos dimittimus debitoribus nostris: Innuit domestico Patriarcha, ut taceret. Siluit ergo & Patriarcha, & remansit princeps solus dicens versum, dimitte nobis sicut & nos dimittimus.

Et tanquam ab igne sta•im cruciatum ferens praedictus princeps, cecidit in faciem ad pedes sancti, dicens: Quaecunque jusseris domine faciet seruus tuus. Et reconciliatus est inimico suo cum omni veritate. This story soundeth thus in English: This great Patriarch John, hearing that a noble man bare malice to an other noble man, warned him oftentimes of it, and treated with him to be at accord: but he could not bring him to be at peace. Wherefore on a day this holy Father sent for the noble man, and causeth him to come to him, as though it were about some matter of the common weal. At that time 39
