Sonus virorū, mulierū, & paruulorū, in orationibus claugorē edit, tanquā fluctus ferientes littora: The sound (saith he) of men, women, and children praying together, maketh a noise like the waves of the Sea beating on the shore. ⟨image 32⟩Thus saith that old father, they did in his time, and thus may you now do. Now may we say, as Athanasius said; If I be deceived, thou hast deceived me, O Lord. For thy word is plain, thy Gospel is true, and therefore if we be now deceived, it is thy word, it is thy Gospel, that deceiveth us: God hath so plainly showed unto us the light of his Gospel, the knowledge of his word. Therefore have we most just cause to say with the prophet David: Laetentur & exultent populi, Let the people rejoice & be glad. And therefore let us not be unkind, let us not be unthankful, let us say; thou O Lord, judgest the folk righteously, & governest the Nations upon the earth. Thou hast now restored unto us our prayers in our known tongue, thy sacraments as they were used in the Apostles time, in the Primitive Church; in the old Fathers & Doctors times. And let us say with Zechariah that holy father; Benedictus Dominus Deus Israel, Blessed is the Lord God of Israel. Let us say with David; Haec est dies, laetemur & exultemus in ea, this is the joyful day, let us rejoice & be glad ⟨image 32⟩therein. Let us with Simeon the prophet say, Nunc dimittis seruum tuū Domine, secundum verbum tuum in pace, Now lettest thou thy servant, O Lord, depart in peace, according unto thy word. Let us say, as the prophet here saith, Laetentur & exultent populi, Let the people rejoice and be glad, because thou rulest the Nations upon the earth. O let the people praise thee, O God, let all the people praise thee. And God, even our own God give us his blessing, that the earth may bring forth her increase.

Sonus virorū, mulierū, & paruulorū, in orationibus claugorē edit, tāquā fluctus ferientes littora: The sound (saith he) of men, women, and children praying together, maketh a noyse like the waues of the Sea beating on the shore. ⟨image 32⟩Thus saith that old father, they did in his time, and thus may you now do. Now may we say, as Athanasius said; If I be deceiued, thou hast deceiued me, O Lord. For thy word is plaine, thy Gospell is true, and therefore if we be now deceiued, it is thy word, it is thy Gospell, that deceiueth vs: God hath so plainly shewed vnto vs the light of his Gospel, the knowledge of his word. Therfore haue we most iust cause to say with the prophet Dauid: Laetentur & exultent populi, Let the people reioyce & be glad. And therfore let vs not be vnkind, let vs not be vnthankful, let vs say; thou O Lord, iudgest the folk righteously, & gouernest the Nations vpon the earth. Thou hast now restored vnto vs our praiers in our known tongue, thy sacraments as they were vsed in the Apostls time, in ye Primitiue Church; in the old Fathers & Doctors times. And let vs say with Zachary that holy father; Benedictus Dominus Deus Israel, Blessed is the Lord God of Israel. Let vs say with Dauid; Haec est dies, laetemur & exultemus in ea, this is the ioyful day, let vs reioyce & be glad
