b Moreover, this leave is not always given after one manner of fashion, according to the rule which is here set down. For, if it be not given with Ite missa est, the Priest turneth not himself unto the people. And here Durand rendereth a reason of this diversity,1 saying, that Ite missa est, was, in the old time said, when as the people met together in great numbers at Mass, by reason of the Communion that then was made, to give them leave after this manner: & that at other times, when the people did not assemble after that sort, they used another kind of fashion.

c If the faithful that are dead rest already in peace, as before hath been said, then is this a vain prayer for that purpose that they make it. Moreover, they say that there is no peace granted for the dead in the Mass, & that there is no mention at all made of them in the same, because they have no need thereof. And therefore it should seem by this, that they are quite & clean forgotten in it.
