Aeneas Syluius saith,1 that when Cyrillus, and Methodius had converted the Sclavons unto God, which was about the year of our Lord eight hundred and threescore, and were suitors that they might minister the Common prayers, and other Service unto them, in their Common Sclavon tongue, and great stay was made therein by the Pope and his Cardinals, a voice was heard, as it had been from Heaven, Omnis spiritus laudet Dominum: & omnis lingua confiteatur ei. Let every sprite praise the Lord: and let every tongue acknowledge him, And that thereupon they were suffered to use their own tongue.

Touching this matter, 1Innocentius the third hath decreed thus, and whether it make for the purpose or no, let M. Harding him self be judge. His words be these: Quoniam in plaerisque partibus, intra eandem Civitatem, atque Dioecesim permisti sunt populi diversarum linguarum, habentes sub una fide varios ritus, & mores, districtè praecipimus, ut Pontifices huiuscemodi Civitatum sive Dioecesium provideant viros idoneos, qui secundum diversitates rituum, & linguarum, divina illis officia celebrent, & Ecclesiastica Sacramenta ministrent. For so much as in many places within one City, and one Diocese, there be ntions mingled together of many tongues, having divers orders and customs under one Faith, we do therefore straitly command, that the Bishops of such Cities, or Dioceses, provide meet men to Minister the holy Service, According to the diversity of their manners and tongues.
