Hart. It is true, S. Austin doth speak of those rites, which the whole Church observed through the world without any change or diversity of manners. But so much the more doth he prove the doctrine of the Council of Trent. For the rites, which pthey say, the Church hath received from the Apostles by tradition, are namely mystical *blessings, lights, incense, vestments, and many other such things. And for these S. Austins witness is of force that S. Paul ordained all that order of doing which we call the Mass. For the proof whereof you may see a clearer testimony of his in qan epistle to Paulinus, quoted by Torrensis, upon the same place of S. Austins confession.
