Reading edition
“Every parish hath its priest, and some two or three apiece; and so their mass-houses also; in some places mass is said in the churches.” Bedell to Laud, April 1, 1630. Compare a report some years earlier on the ecclesiastical state of the province of Armagh, from which long extracts are printed in Mant’s History of the Church of Ireland, I., 395-408.
