a We have heretofore, sufficiently spoken of the commemoration of the Saints. This is the first of this Canon,1 which Nicholas de Plove, attributeth not unto Syrice as the rest do, but unto Linus the first. Howbeit, who soever is author thereof, it altereth and changeth in sundry solemn and festival days, by reason of diverse additions which are put to it. We have spoken also of that which Gregory the third added for the Saints days. And here is also to be noted, that each monk, friar and priest thrusteth in their patrons as pleaseth them. It is easily to be judged, that this piece was patched, too long, after the death of Jesus Christ, because that the names of Saints are in it, which were long time after: yea and such saints to, as are not very well known: howbeit there is no remedy, but that we must needs believe those men which have enrolled them. At the least, there is one Grysogone, who, if I be not deceived, is put in for Chrysogone. But I know not whence they had him. Here are two points, principally to be noted, in this manner of commemoration. The first is, that they join the commemoration of the Saints ⟨p. 187⟩with the commemoration of Jesus Christ, as if they were all alike and fellows, and, as though the Supper had been ordained aswell for it, as for that of Jesus Christs. The other is, the praying that is made to them in it, and not to Jesus Christ alone. And what soever we speak here of this commemoration, may also serve for all the rest that hereafter ensue.
