d We have already elsewhere declared to what end this is said, and from whence it was taken, and how the contrary is done in the Mass of this exhortation. And therefore the Doctors them selves of the Popish Church do testify, that none can have part of this Sacrament, without he lift up his hart on high, and that many of them which say, they lift them up on high, do many times shamefully lye.

e Although all that goeth before, serveth for a preface, they especially call all that which followeth it, by the same name, unto the Sanctus. We have somewhat at large spoken in other places of the diversity of Prefaces, which also have their several tunes, according to the days and feasts, for which they are properly appointed. The Canons which we have spoken of, that forbid no Collects, prayers, prefaces, proses, nor any other Apocriphaes, nor any thing else that is not approved lawful, to be used, have yet rehearsed them in diverse and sundry Councils, as namely, in the second Laodicean Council, & in the Milan. And therefore it was many times ordained, that there should be but one form of the Divine office: in one self same Province and Country: and especially in the Gerundense, first Bracarien,1 fourth and eleventh Tolentane, Councils. For which cause, they had their diverse and sundry usages given them, according to the diversity of the ⟨p. 174⟩Bishoprics and Dioceses. The form & manner of the Preface which is here set down, is ordained to be said every day from Christmas night unto the Epiphany. It serveth also for Candlemas and this Corpus Christi day. The rest of the feasts, have theirs also, by them selves. Furthermore I find no great hurt in that, that is herein contained, if it were applied as it should be, that is, according to the form of the ancient Church.
