These words, 1Whispering, and Mumbling, mislike you much. Yet your own friends, entreating hereof, have often used the same words. In your late Council of Cologne it is written thus, Ut Presbyteri Preces non tantùm Ore Murmurent,2 sed etiam Corde Persoluant nunquam à manibus eorum Liber Legis, hoc est, Biblia deponatur: That the Priests not only Mumble up their Prayers, but also pronounce them from their hearts, Let the Book of the Law, that is to say, the Bible, never be said from their hands. Likewise Regino reporteth the words of the Council of Nantes, Ridiculum est, muris, aut parietibus Infusurrare ea, quae ad populum pertinent: It is a preushe thing, to whisper those things to the walls, that pertain unto the people.
