a HEre, M. hethethee hothethee, standeth like a man in a great amaze.
b Here in this point is some great matter: for, he saith the secrete very softly, for fear he should be heard, and soon after crieth out aloud, to no purpose in the world, for ever and ever: To th'end ⟨p. 172⟩that the people, & they which help him at Mass, might answer, Amen. without ether hearing or yet understanding what it was that he said, neither yet whereunto he referreth this his Per omnia. For this word Amen, is an Hebrew word, by which, they that speak it, declare their consent to that which is said, and testify that they take it to be true, and wish it to be so. But how can he that so answereth answer in trueth, without he do it scoffingly and merrily, when as he understandeth not that, which he affirmeth and testifieth? For it is as if a man should set his hand and seal unto an obligation, or letter, having never read it, nor yet knowing what is within it. And therefore the holy Apostle saith, How shall he say Amen to thy prayer, who neither knoweth what thou sayest, nor yet understandeth thee one whit?
