It is done in a strange tongue which the people doth not understand / contrary to the doctrine off the Apostle / 1. Cor. 14.1
It ys done in a strawnge tounge which the people doth not vnderstande / contrarie to the doctrine off the Apostle / 1. Cor. 14.1
Where is no understanding / 1there is neither edifying / nor comfort: for besides that they speak ⟨image 6⟩in to the air / the mind receiveth no profit: They are one to another as aliens / the Parishioners will say their priests are mad / whereas all things ought to be done so as they may edify. Let every man know / that the things which I write (saith S. Paul) are the commandments of the lord.2 Such absurdities are to be eschewed.
Wher is no vnderstandinge / 1ther is neither edifyenge / nor conforte: for besydes that they speake ⟨image 6⟩in to the ayer / the minde receiueth no proffet: They are one to another as alienes / the Parissheners will saye their priestes are madde / wheras all thynges owghte to be done so as they maye ediffie. Let euerie man knowe / that the thynges which I write (sayth S. Paule) are the commaundementes of the lorde.
