suppose_v the_o great_a roman_a pontife_n will_v not_o derive_v the_o original_n of_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o their_o mass_n from_o the_o hebrew_n because_o than_o they_o must_v acknowledge_v the_o

there_o be_v no_o sacrifice_n of_o this_o name_n or_o title_n though_o some_o have_v bring_v in_o a_o colourable_a reason_n from_o this_o greek_a word_n myzein_o which_o be_v to_o say_v in_o french_a to_o hide_v or_o keep_v in_o secret_a as_o if_o the_o messalian_a sacrificer_n receive_v from_o the_o ancient_a idolatrous_a greek_n to_o mumble_v secret_o the_o principal_a word_n of_o their_o mass_n

repair_v to_o the_o true_a etymology_n of_o the_o word_n missa_fw-la roman_n or_o mess_n draw_v from_o the_o ancient_a latin_a roman_n who_o use_v these_o word_n missus_fw-la missa_fw-la missilis_n and_o missio_fw-la even_o as_o in_o french_a we_o have_v messager_n message_n and_o messives_n for_o letter_n send_v wherefore_o when_o the_o ancient_a roman_a idolater_n mean_v to_o dismiss_v the_o
