Rainoldes. So D. Allen saith. But he proveth neither Priests nor Mass, by scripture: unless the Mass be the chair; and the Priests be the scornful.

Hart. Though he allege not the scripture there to prove them, yet hath he done it other where: as in his Latin treatise of the sacrifice of the Mass, and in our Annotations on the testament in English, wherein his hand was chiefest. *For Isaiah doth specially prophecy of the Priests of the new testament (as S. Jerome declareth upon the same place) in these words: ⟨p. 542⟩lYou shall be called the 1Priests of God, the 2Ministers of our God shall it be said unto you. And as here the Ministers of God are called Priests, in that very term which your self confess hath a relation to sacrifice: so, that they did sacrifice, you may perceive too by the mActs of the Apostles, where it is written of Prophets and Doctors in the Church at Antioch, that they were ministering to our Lord. For 3the Greek signifieth that they were sacrificing: and so Erasmus translated. Whereby it is meant that they did say Mass: and the Greek Fathers hereof had their name Liturgy, which Erasmus translateth Mass, saying Missa Chrysostomi. Howbeit we translate it, ministering, and not sacrificing, or saying Mass, though we might: if we would (as you do) boldly turn what text we list, and flee from one language to another for the advantage of our cause. But we keep our text: as the translators of the scriptures should do most religiously.
