d Berno saith,¹ that this piece is called Communion, because it is said whiles the people are receiving of the Communion, which they should receive immediately after the Pax. Here again we see, a very evident testimony of the Communion of the ancient Mass. Whereof there was a Decree in the fourth Council of Tolete: wherein mention is made that certain Priests Communicated immediately after the Lords prayer was said: and after, blessed the people. Which thing is there forbidden, and commandment given, to bless the people after the Lords prayer: & besides, that the Sacrament of the body & blood of the Lord, should be received in this manner, to wit, that the Priests and deacons should communicate before the Altar, the Clergy in the Quire, ⟨p. 240⟩& the people without in the body of the church. So that by this decree, there was but one common Supper for them all. And there was no difference in it, but the distinction of places, which was done for the avoiding of confusion in the Church. And because that in all ages, there were always many people, who honoured not, nor reverenced the Sacraments, ne yet the Communion of the Supper, as they ought: The ancient Councils made many ordinances about them: as that for one, which hath already bin alleged, as to communicate thrice a year at the least, if not oftener, which is continued amongst the decrees of the Agathens Council:² where it was ordained, that they which did it not, should not be taken for Catholics, nor received amongst them: which is again renewed and confirmed by the Council of Tours, without exception of any, save such as were put from it for some notorious offences.

d Berno saith,¹ that this peece is called Communion, because it is sayed whiles the people are receauing of the Communion, which they should receaue immediatlie after the Paxe. Here againe we see, a verie euident testimonie of the Communion of the auncient Masse. Whereof there was a Decree in the fourth Councell of Tolete: wherein mention is made that certaine Priestes Communicated immediatlie after the Lordes prayer was sayed: and after, blessed the people. Which thing is there forbidden, and commaundement giuen, to blesse the people after the Lords prayer: & besides, that the Sacrament of the body & blud of the Lorde, should be receiued in this maner, to wit, that the Priests and deacons should communicate before the Altar, the Clergie in the Quier,
