They allege Ignatius in his Epistle ad Smyrnenses. 1But that place maketh very much against the Massemongers: forasmuch as there Ignatius ordained that Masses should in no wise be had, unless the Bishop were present, with such great wariness did antiquity abhor private communions. For he would have all men to be present at yt doing of it, & specially the Bishops. These things have I said, as granting unto the adversaries, that it was the very book of Ignatius, 2& that it containeth in it the word Mass, which yet we are not compelled to grant: For it is Apocrypha, yea, and that as their own Gratian testifieth. Moreover those Epistles were written in Greek, and therefore I am assured, that be which turned it into latin, did put this word Mass for [Greek or Hebrew]. For thus it is written in Greek, [Greek or Hebrew]: and straight way after that, [Greek or Hebrew]. &c. This is the Greek sentence of Ignatius, wherein as appeareth there is no mention made of this word Mass.
They alledge Ignatius in his Epistle ad Smyrnenses. 1But that place maketh very much against the Massemongers: for asmuch as there Ignatius ordayned that Masses shoulde in no wyse be had, vnlesse the Bishop were present, wyth such great warinesse did antiquity abhorre priuate cōmunions. For he would haue al men to be presēt at yt doing of it, & specially the Bishops. These thinges haue I said, as grautning vnto the aduersaries, that it was the very booke of Ignatius, 2& that it containeth in it the word Masse, which yet we ar not compelled to graūt: For it is Apocripha, yea, and that as their own Gratian testifieth. Moreouer those Epistles were written in Greeke, and therefore I am assured, that be which turend it into latin, did put this word Masse for 〈non-Latin alphabet〉. For thus it is written in Greek, 〈non-Latin alphabet〉: and straight way after that, 〈non-Latin alphabet〉. &c. This is the Greeke sentence of Ignatius, wherein as appeareth ther is no mencion made of this woord Masse.
