The same in English. 1Some Priests fill their box for housel on Easter day, and so reserve it a whole year for sick men, as though that housel were more holy then any other. But they do unadvisedly, because it waxeth hoary, or altogether rotten by keeping it so long space: and thus are they become guilty, as the book witnesseth to us. If any do keep that housell to long or lose it or mice or other beasts do eat it, see what the penitential book saith by this: So holy is altogether that housel, which is hallowed to day, as that which is hallowed on Easter day. Wherefore I beseech you to keep the holy body of Christ with more advisement: for sick men, from Sunday to Sunday, in a very clean box: or at the most not to keep it above a fortnight, and then eat it, laying other in the place. We have an example hereof in Moses books, as God him self hath commanded in Moses law, how the Priests should set every Saturday, twelve loaves all new baked, upon the tabernacle: the which were called Panes propositionis: and those should stand thereon Gods tabernacle, till the next Saturday, and then did the Priests them selves eat them, and set other in the place. Some Priests will not eat the housell, which they do hallow: But we will now declare unto you how the book speaketh by them Presbyter missam celebrans, & non audens sumere sacrificium, accusante conscientia, an athema est.
