Now, for so much as M. Harding taketh occasion, for that I past this place of Justinian so shortly over, only touching it with one word, as the time then forced me, I think it not amiss for the better contentation of the Reader, to lay it out fully, as it lieth. His words be these: 1We command all Bishops, and Priests, to minister the Holy Oblation, and the prayer at the Holy Baptism, not under silence, but with such voice, as may be heard of the faithful people: to the intent, that thereof the hearts of the hearers may be stirred to more devotion, and honour giving to God the Lord. For so the holy Apostle teacheth,2 saying in the first Epistle to the Corinthians: For if thou only bliss with the spirit, how shall he, that supplieth the room of the ignorant, say Amen,3 (to God) at thy thanks giving? For he knoweth not what thou sayest. Thou givest thanks well, but the other is not edified.
Now, for so muche as M. Hardinge taketh occasion, for that I past this place of Iustinian so shortely ouer, onely touchinge it with one woorde, as the time then forced mée, I thinke it not amisse for the better contentation of the Reader, to lay it out fully, as it lieth. His woordes be these: 1Wee commaunde al Bishops, and Priestes, to minister the Holy Oblation, and the praier at the Holy Baptisme, not vnder silence, but with suche voice, as may be hearde of the faithful people: to the intente, that thereof the heartes of the hearers may be sturred to more deuotion, and honour geuinge to God the Lorde. For so the holy Apostle teacheth,2 sayeinge in the firste Epistle to the Corinthians: For if thou only blisse vvith the spirite, hovv shal he, that supplieth the roume of the ignorant, saye Amen,3 (to God) at thy thankes geuinge? For he knovveth not vvhat thou saiest. Thou geuest thankes vvel, but the other is not edified.
