Rainoldes. But nether this usage of the eastern Churches was the same that yours is. For they did keep lights, while the gospel was reading, and put them out after: which rite lyou had also, and some where have perhaps yet. But the general rite which you have gotten now of burning tapers still, before the gospel, and after: that in S. Jeromes time not only was unborn in the we••, but in the •ast too. Though if the east had used it: yet nether were it proved so (by your reason) that the Apostles did ordain it, because it was not used in the western Churches, & therefore not through the whole world. Howbeit I deny not but there is good reason why your Church should use it. For mTertullian saith: let them light candles daily who have no light; 5the testimonies of darkness do well beseem them.
