¶The Offertory.

After this,* 1.1 oblations were wont to bee offered of the people to the Priest: and the Offertorye to be songe of the quere.

☞ Of these oblations speaketh Irenaeus. Pro diuersis sa∣crificiorum ritibus, simplex oblatio panis & vini fidelibus suffi∣ciat. &c.

In stead of the sondrye rites of sacrifices, let the simple oblation of bread and wine suffice the faythfull.* 1.2

Item, Walafrid. omnis populus intrans ecclesiam debet sa∣crificare, sicut docet ordo institutionis ecclesiasticae. i. Euerye person entring in the Church must doe sacrifice,* 1.3 as the or∣der of Ecclesiastical institution doth teach, what order this was, it is declared in ordine Romano by these wordes: po∣pulus dat oblationes suas, id est panem & vinum: primo masculi, deinde faeminae nouissimè vero sacerdotes & Diaconi offerunt, sed solum panem, & hoc ante altare. i. The people geue euerye one his oblacions, that is, bread and wine: first the men, then the women, after them Priestes and Deacons offer, but bread onely. &c.

Likewise Bucardus testifieth the same In synodo Ma∣tiscon decretum est, vt in omnibus Dominicis diebus,* 1.4 alijsque fe∣stiuitatibus oblatio ab omnibus qui ad Missam conuenerint v∣triusque sexus offeratur in Ecclesia, singulas oblationes offeren∣tes, finita missa oblationes a praesbitero accipiant. i. In y^e Sinod Matiscon it was ordeined that euerye sonday and festiuall day oblation was made of al the people which came to the masse, or liturgy, both men and women, in the church,* 1.5 eue∣ry person bringing and offering his owne oblation.

The liturgye being done, they receiue the oblations of the priest. &c.

☞ Thus ye maye see what was theyr oblations and sacrifice in the auncient time, in their liturgy. Wherof now remayneth nothing, but the name onely with the song.

This offertory some ascribe to Eutichianus about the yeare of our Lord .280. but thereof no certayne euidence appeareth.

Orate pro me fratres. &c.

Nauclerus writeth that Pope Leo broughte in that which is sayd in y^e Masse: Orate pro me fratres & sorores. &c.* 1.6
