They were wont also to bring Johannes Cassianus, 1who lived in the time of Honorius, and was driven out of the Church of Jerusalem by heretics, from whence he came to Massilia, and was a Monk by profession. For he maketh mention of Mass in his .3. book .7. and 8. chap. but he wresteth the signification of that word far otherwise than to the holy Communion. For by Mass he understandeth perfection, finishing, and absolution. Wherefore he saith: praestolatur congregationis missam. Let him tarry the end or fullness of the congregation. That is, that the multitude and congregation may be absolved and fulfilled. And by and by after, Contenti somno, quia missa vigiliarum usque ad lucem conceditur, That is, being content with the sleep which is permitted them from the end of the vigils unto day light: whereby this word Missa he understandeth that time of the watch wherein the vigils were ended. For then was it lawful for the Monks to sleep until day light. Neither must I overskip, that there is mention most manifestly made of Masses in the exposition of the .xi. chap. of the Proverbs of Solomon, which exposition is ascribed to Jerome. 2But that book without controversy is none of Jeromes writing. For Gregory is there alleged, who lived long after Augustine and Jerome. Bruno Amerbachius in his epistle which he set before the book, saith that he saw in an old book, that that interpretation ⟨image 49⟩was entitled to Bede. 3And if it were so, then it is no marvel, if he made mention of Masses, for then in the time of Bede the priest, many abuses had crept into the church. I do therefore admonish you of that, because in that place that counterfeit Jerome affirmeth that the souls of such as are dead, are by the celebrations of Masses delivered out of Purgatory. Jerome was not so wont to speak
They wer wont also to bring Iohannes Cassianus, 1who lyued in the tyme of Honorius, and was driuen out of the Churche of Ierusalem by heretickes, from whence he came to Massilia, and was a Monke by profession. For hee maketh mencion of Masse in his .3. booke .7. and 8. chap. but he wresteth the signification of that woord farre otherwise than to the holy Communion. For by Masse hee vnderstandeth perfection, finishing, and absolution. Wherfore he saith: praestolatur congregationis missam. Let him tarye the ende or fulnes of the congregation. That is, that the multitude and congregation maye be absolued and fulfyled. And by and by after, Contenti somno, quia missa vigiliarum vsque ad lucem conceditur, That is, being content with the sleepe which is permitted them frō the end of the vigiles vnto day light: wherby this woord Missa he vnderstandeth that time of the watch wherin the vigiles wer ended. For then was it lawfull for the Monkes to slepe vntil day light. Neither must I ouership, that ther is mē cion most manifestly made of Masses in the exposition of the .xi. chap. of the Prouerbs of Salomon, which exposition is ascribed to Ierome.
