Here have I brought much for private and single Communion, and that it hath not only been suffered in time of persecution, but also allowed in quiet and peaceable times, even in the Church of Rome it self, 31¹ where true Religion hath ever been most exactly observed, above all other places of the world, and 32² from whence all the Churches of the West have taken their light. As the Bishops of all Gallia that now is called France, do acknowledge in an Epistle sent to Leo the Pope with these words,³ unde religionis nostrae propitio Christo, fons & origo manavit. From the Apostolic see by the Mercy of Christ the fountain and spring of our Religion hath come.
