M. Ivel alleging for the having of the Prayers, and Service in a Vulgar tongue (as for England, in the English, for Ireland in the Irish, for Douchelande in the Douche tongue &c.) authorities and examples of the Churches, where in the time of the Primitive Church the Greek, and Latin tongue was the usual and Common Tongue of the people• bringeth nothing for proof of that, which lieth in controversy. Arnobius, saith he, called the Latin tongue Sermonem Italum: S. Ambrose in Milan, S. Augustine in Aphrike, S. Gregory in Rome preached in Latin, and the people understood them. 1What then? No man denieth you this. S. Basil also speaketh of a sound, which the Men, Women, and Children made in their prayers to God, like the sound of a wave striking the sea banks. What can you conclude of this necessarily M. Ivel? Al this may be understanded of the sounding that one word, Amen, ánsweared at the prayers end, which is done now by the Quier, and may be done by the people also, in the lower part of the Church. For S. Hierome leadeth us so to think. Who commending the devotion of the people of Rome,2 saith in like manner. Ubi sic ad similitudinem coelestis tonitrui, Amen reboa•, & vacua idolorum templa quatiuntur? Where else are the Churches, and the Sepulchres of Martyrs, with so fervent devotion, and with so great company resorted unto? (which words go before) where doth Amen give so loud a sound, like the thunderclap out of the air, so as the Temples emptied of Idols, shake with it, as at Rome?
