b He turneth himself 5. times about unto the people during the time that he is playing of his play, or dancing of his antic. Moreover, he continually turneth his back & hinder parts, because according to Vigilius ordinance he must turn his face towards the East,1 because the situation of the Churches & Altars are set East ward. Howbeit, it becometh not a Juggler, a player, but much less a Preacher to turn their backs upon the people, before they juggle, play or preach. For, it is the ordinary way to turn their faces to whom they speak, & not their backs. Howbeit, the Priests, mean not to speak unto the people, when they say Mass: nether should they understand them, if they did: but they talk to the bread & wine, to the idols, & table, & to the board clothes & napkins, which lie before them: & unto the Sun, over against which2 ⟨p. 112⟩they turn them selves: or else it were meet to have their Churches & Altars so built, as that the Priest might have the people before him, when he sayeth Mass, as a Preacher is wonted to have his pulpit. But then again should herein fall out a great inconvenience, when he should salute them, & turn him self unto them as here is noted. For them his back should be towards them, & therefore should not need any whit to turn or return him self.
