A discourse concerning liturgies

Add to this, what may be observed in Ambrose, Epist. 33. Ad Marcellinam sororem. He, whiles he was celebrating, about 387. Spond. p. 2. (missam facere caepi) and employed, as I suppose, in this Prayer ^*(dumb offero) understanding what the Arians were doing, and what had befallen Castulus; he orders the Prayer suitably to that occasion; Orare in ipsa oblatione Deum caepi, ut subveniret. [Sequente die, erat autem dominica, post lectiones atque tractatum, dimissis catechumenis, symbolum aliquibus competentibus in Baptisteriis tradebam basilicis, illic nunciatum est mihi comperto, quod ad Portianam Basilicam de palatio Decanos misissent (Ariani) ut vela suspenderent, Populi partem eo pergere. Ego tamen mansi in munere; missam facere cepi. Dumb offero, raptum a Populo cognovi Castulum quendam, quem Presbyterum dicebant Ariani, orar• in ipsa oblatione Deum caepi, ut subveniret.]
