Again, S. Paul willeth, that the priest utter the Common Prayers in the Congregation, in such Language, as the unlearned may be edified thereby, and answer, Amen: Ergo, (M. Harding seemeth to say) The Priest may utter the Common Prayers in an unknown tongue. Surely these arguments would make a strange noise in the Schools, and set all Logic quite out of tune. But, if S. Pauls words make nothing against the Latin Service, as it is now used, what is it then that S. Paul condemneth? Why concludeth he thus, How shall the ignorant say, Amen, at thy thanks giving? For he knoweth not, what thou sayest. Why, setteth he the whole difference in Knowing, and not Knowing? ⟨p. 200⟩Or what misseliketh he else,1 but the sound, or noise of a strange tongue, whereby he thinketh, the people in no wise can be edified? If all this be nothing, as M. Harding saith, then let him turn the whole course of S. Pauls words, and say thus: Pray thou in a strange unknown tongue: that the people may say, Amen. For so may they say, although they know not what thou prayest.
Againe, S. Paule willeth, that the priest vtter the Common Praiers in the Congregation, in such Language, as the vnlearned may be edified thereby, and answeare, Amen: Ergo, (M. Harding seemeth to say) The Priest may vtter the Common Praiers in an vnknowen tongue. Surely these argumentes would make a strange noice in the Schooles, and set al Logique quite out of tune. But, if S. Paules woordes make nothing against the Latine Seruice, as it is now vsed, what is it then that S. Paule condemneth? Why concludeth he thus, How shal the ignorant say, Amen, at thy thankes geuing? For he knoweth not, what thou saiest. Why, setteth he the whole difference in Knowinge, and not Knowing? ⟨p. 200⟩Or what misseliketh he els,1 but the sounde, or noise of a strange tongue, whereby he thinketh, the people in no wise can be edified? If al this be nothinge, as M. Hardinge saith, then let him turne the whole course of S. Paules woordes, and saye thus: Praie thou in a strange vnknowen tongue: that the people may say, Amen. For so may they say, although they knowe not what thou praiest.
