c It was decreed by the Council of Worms,1 That there should be nothing else offered in the Mass, save only the bread, and cup, as hath bin by other Councils heretofore ordained: but also that the wine should in no wise be offered without water, as in deed it is not tolerated to offer water without wine, but both at once.2 And in the Triburme Council which was after celebrated in the days of the Emperor Arnulph, in the year, 895. it is in the same decreed, set down, and expressly ordained, That two parts should be wine, & the third water. Which ordinance is laid upon Alexander ⟨p. 142⟩the fifth, of whom we have spoken in his place, & upon the other ancient Fathers. Howbeit I know not how this ordinance can agree with the decree of the fourth Council of Orleans, solemnized about the time of Pelagius the first, in the days of king Childebert: by which decree it was ordained, that none should presume to offer any thing in the oblations of the holy Cup, but that which was thought to be of the fruit of the vine: & that, not to be mingled with water. I know not whether the fault be in the book, or in the ill handling of it. And after the reason is there eftsoons rē dread. For, it is said, That that is to be judged sacrilege, when any other thing is offered, then that which our saviour hath by his holy commandments ordained. I leave the reconciling of this matter to those to whom it more concerneth then us.
