1By those names did the most ancient fathers call the Lords supper. But they made never mention of the Mass. For it thou shalt read Ireneus, Tertullian, Cyprian, Hilary, and their like, thou shalt never find that word in them in that signification. Augustine maketh mention twice of it, namely in her sermon ⟨p. 42⟩de tempore. 237. where he maketh mention of the Mass of those that were to be instructed before baptism. In that place he exhorteth men to forgive injuries one to another. For (saith he) we must come to the Mass of those that are to be instructed where we shall pray: forgive us our trespasses, as we also forgive our trespassers. And be writeth also in the sermon de tempore .91. these words: In the history which is to be red at Masses. Some are in doubt whether those sermons were of Augustine's writing or no,2 but to me they seem to be the style and sentences of Augustine. And as I conjecture, I think that this name Mass began almost to be used at that time: howbeit but seldom, and not often. For if it had been then a word in much use, Augustine in especial who framed his writing unto the vulgar people, would oftener have made mention of it.
