Hillarius. I have heard the Cordeliers mock at Friar 1Christopher, which was one of their order and convent, because that he did sing the Mass of Requiem, for the Saints and Saints of Paradise. But if he had known how to defend his cause, it had not been without reason. For he might have very well alleged for his warrant, the Memento of the dead, and almost all the mass of Requiem, and other like prayers which seemed not to have •en made to any other end, then to pray for y• saints which are in rest. This master Doctor who would find out for us a new manner to pray for the dead, under •olour of the resurrection & of the coming of Jesus Christ, it came well for him, for to maintain & uphold his cause against the other Cordeliers, which mocked him.
