This Latin word, Missa, 1in the time of Tertullian, and S. Cyprian, signified a dismissing, or a licence to depart: and was specially applied unto the Communion, upon this occasion that I must here declare.2 They that were then named Catechumeni, that is to say, Novices of the faith, and not yet Christened, were suffered to be present at the Communion, until the Gospel was ended. Then the Deacon commanded them forth, pronouncing these words aloud, Catechumeni exeunto: Or thus, Ite, Missa est. Goe ye forth, ye have licence to depart. Of this dismissing or departing forth of the Catechumeni and others, the service it self was then called Missa.

Further, the breaking of the Bread,3 which even now is used in the Mass it self, signifieth a distribution of the Sacrament unto the people, as S. Augustine saith unto Paulinus, Ad distribuendum comminuitur, It is broken to the end it may be divided. Moreover, the Priest him self in his Mass saith thus. This holy Mixture and Consecration &c. be unto me, and to all that shall receive it, unto Salvation. Thus the very name of the Mass, the very Breaking of the Bread, the very Gestures and Words that the Priest ⟨p. 95⟩useth at his Mass, bear manifest witness against Private Mass.

Of this dimissing or departinge foorthe of the Catechumeni and others, the seruice it selfe was then called Missa.
