That he thus bitterly chargeth that godly learned Father John Calvin, for saying thus, Of the unknown Service there redoundeth no manner profit unto the Church, 1it toucheth many others moe, & not him only. S. Augustine saith thus: Si Moses mihi Haebraea voce loqueretur, frustrà pulsaret sensum meum, nec inde mentem meam quicquam tangeret. If Moses should speak unto me in the Hebrew tongue (for ⟨p. 212⟩that I understand it not) he should beat my senses in vain, neither should there any thing thereof enter into my mind. S.

For, of a voice that ye know not, what profit can ye have? Again he saithe, Et vos, nisi significantem sonum dederitis, verba vento, hoc est, nemini facietis. And you, onles ye utter a sound with understanding, ye shall speak to the wind, 4that is to say, ye shall speak to no Body.
