This title of instruction,¹ which these Popish doctors them selves give unto their Mass, doth the better confirm that which we have heretofore said, of the order of the ancient Church, concerning public prayers, and the preaching of the word of God, & of the Ecclesiastical assemblies. For, we see by this self same order, which is at this day observed in the Mass, that the doctrine of the Apostles & Evangelists, is preferred before prayers: by which, as well the people as the Ministers of the Church, ought to prepare them selves for this doctrine, the one of them to teach it, and the other to hear and understand it. And therefore, many ordinances were made by the Councils, ⟨p. 114⟩appertaining to this matter, as well for the ministers of the Church, as for the people. And for the first it was decreed by the fourth Council of Carthage,² That whatsoever they were that went out of the Church and auditory, whiles the Priest was preaching of the word of God unto the people, should be excommunicated: neither were there any forbidden to hear or come into the Church, were they heathen, Jews, or heretics, even unto the Mass of the Catechumeni, whereof we have spoken elsewhere. And to th'end that the people should never be without this food: It was also decreed by the council of Arles, solemnized in the days of Charlemagne, That the Priests should not preach only in cities,
