To come to the matter, M. Hardinges Amphilochius thus telleth on his tale: Basil, saith he, being once made Bishop, besought God that he might offer up the unbloody Sacrifice with his own words: he fell in a trance: came again to him self: and so ministered every day. On a certain night Christ with his Apostles came down to him from heaven: brought bread with him: awoke Basil, and bade him up, and offer the Sacrifice. Up he arose: was straight at the Altar: said his prayers, as he had written them in his paper: lifted up the bread: laid it down again: brake it in three parts: received one: reserved an other to be buried with him: hung up the third in a golden Dove. And all this was done, Christ and his Apostles being still present: who came purposely from Heaven to help Basil to Mass.
