Common prayer in a strange tongue, is such a matter, that it taketh away the very use of common prayer. For the people (as Paul saith) cannot say, Amen, nor be edified, nor give God thanks. And the Emperor Justinian in a law ⟨image 41⟩that he maketh, touching the public prayers of the Church, saith thus, we command all Bishops & priests to minister the holy oblation, & the prayer at the holy Baptism, not under silence, but with such voice as may be hard of the faithful people: to the intent that the harts of the hearers may be stirred up to more devotion, &c. And let the holy priests understand, that if they neglect any of these things, they shall make answer therefore at the dreadful judgment of the great God, & our saviour Jesus Christ. And yet nevertheless, we our selves understanding the same will not pass it over, nor leave it unpunished.

To have images in the church of God, is no small matter, It is forbidden by a general council called Eliberinū: & Epiphanius a catholic father calleth it abomination.
