[14] The Hermits, by Rev. C. Kingsley, p. 153, 154.
[15] This passage has been quoted by some to show that at this
period special vestments were not in general use for the Eucharist, as
an argument against their present use. But it by no means appears from
the passage quoted that Fulgentius did not wear Eucharistic vestments.
It simply says that he wore at Mass the habit he lived and slept in.
This is what monks and friars do now; they put the vestment over the
habit.
