For thus saith Chrysostom: 1If thou stand by, and do not Communicate, thou art malapert, thou art shameless, thou art impudent. Thine eyes be unworthy the •ight hereof, unworthy he thine ears. O thou wilt say, I am unworthy to be partaker of the holy Mysteries. Then art thou unworthy to be partaker of the prayers: thou mayest no more stand here, then a Heathen, that never was Christened. And touching him self he saith, In vain we come to offer the daily Sacrifice: In vain we stand at the Altar, Meaning thereby, as may appear, that if he said Private Mass for lack of company, it was in vain. Here M. Harding seeing that his Mass, even by his own authority is shrewdly cracked, and left for vain, assayeth to salve it, as well as he may.

Thyne eies be vnwoorthy the •ight hereof, vnwoorthy he thine eares. O thou wilt saye, I am vnwoorthy to be partaker of the holy Mysteries. Then art thou vnwoorthy to be partaker of the praiers: thou mayste no more stande here, then a Heathen, that neuer was Christened. And touchinge him selfe he saithe, In vaine wee come to offer the daily Sacrifice: In vaine wee stande at the Aultare, Meaninge thereby, as may appeare, that if he saide Priuate Masse for lacke of companie, it was in vaine. Here M. Hardinge séeinge that his Masse, euen by his owne authoritie is shrewdly crac•te, and leafte for vayne, assayeth to salue it, as wel as he may.

The Mass (saith he) is not in vain in it self, but unto the people that will not come.
