Verily, in the Primitive Church this was necessary, when the Faith was a learning. And therefore the Prayers were made then, in a common tongue known to the people, for cause of their further instruction: Who being of late converted to the Faith, and of Paynims made Christians, had need in all things to be taught. But after that the Faithful people was multiplied, and increased in great numbers, and had been so well instructed in all points of Religion, as by their own accord they conformed them selves to the Ministers at the Common Prayers: in the Latin Church the Service was set out in Latin: and it was thought sufficient, part of the people in the Quier, to answer for the whole.
