He needs not hear it, as (g)Cajetane and others tells us, and this is much, he is enjoined only to hear Mass, and yet doth all that he is enjoined if he hear it not, if not one syllable of it reach his ears: it seems with them, to hear, is not to hear. Just by the same figure that they say they worship God, when in truth they do not worship him at all.

He needs not be sensible of any thing about it, to hear Mass saith Tolet is not to use any of his senses about what is done in the Mass. 1And if this be their worshipping God, a man may worship him as much as the Church of Rome requires, not only without Reverence and Devotion, without heart and affection: but without the use of sense or Reason. A Brute may do more at Mass, than they require their Catholics to do, no wonder that Church enjoins no Attention, Devotion or Reverence, nor counts them needful (as we have already manifested) for can there be any pretence to require these, when both sense and understanding are superseded? or can there be any thing that deserves the name of worship without these?
