But he will reply, here is the very name of the Mass: & facit Missas. And to make the more appearance, M. Harding helpeth it forth with a pretty false translation of his own.1 For, whereas it is written in the Latin, Con benedixisset sancta, he translateth it thus, When he had Consecrate the Sacrament: And likewise these words, Post finem orationum, he translateth thus, After he had done the prayer of Consecration: notwithstanding he knew right well, that in these words there is no mention at all, neither of any Sacrament, nor of any Consecration. And thus Vocat ea quae non sunt,2 tanquam sint. He calleth things that be not, as though they were: ⟨p. 78⟩and yet is not afraid of Lex Cornelia de falsis. But this I trow he him self will confess, is no sincere, nor plain dealing. Yet will he say, here is the very word Missa. It is well known, that Missa, is no Greek word, and therefore Leontius, what so ever he were, in his Greek tongue could not use it. As for the Translator, seeing he was not able to write true Latin, we may well think he had simple skill in the Greek.
But he wil replie, here is the very name of ye Masse: & facit Missas. And to make the more appearance, M. hardinge helpeth it foorthe with a preatie false translation of his owne.1 For, whereas it is written in the Latine, Cū benedixisset sancta, he translateth it thus, VVhen he had Consecrate the Sacrament: And likewise these woordes, Post finem orationum, he translateth thus, After he had doone the praier of Consecration: notwithstandinge he knewe right wel, that in these woordes there is no mention at al, neither of any Sacrament, nor of any Consecration. And thus Vocat ea quae non sunt,2 tanquam sint. He calleth thinges that be not, as though they were: ⟨p. 78⟩and yet is not afraide of Lex Cornelia de falsis. But this I trowe he him selfe wil confesse, is no sincere, nor plaine dealinge. Yet wil he saye, here is the very woord Missa. It is wel knowen, that Missa, is no Gréeke woorde, and therefore Leontius, what so euer he were, in his Gréeke tongue coulde not vse it. As for the Translatour, séeynge he was not hable to write true Latine, we may wel thinke he had simple skil in the Gréeke.
