Seeing then that our Lord Jesus Christ hath given this rule to Christians, who soever demandeth of God any other things than are contained in that order of prayer, and by any other mean, and to any other end than that which Jesus Christ hath set forth unto us in the same, can make no acceptable prayer to God, but is to him turned into sin. The like is of those which pray in an unknown tongue, not knowing what they say. For first it is certain, that their prayer can ⟨p. 14⟩not please God, but so far forth as it is made in true faith. On the other side, true faith is not without understanding what it is that she demandeth of God: seeing it is so, then it followeth well, that he prayeth without faith, that prayeth, not understanding what he prayeth, and by consequent doth mock and dishonour God.

SEing then that our Lorde Iesus Christ hath giuen this rule to Christians, who soeuer demaūdeth of God any other thinges than are conteyned in that order of prayer, and by any other meane, and to any other ende than that whiche Iesus Christ hath set forth vnto vs in the same, can make no acceptable prayer to God, but is to him turned into sinne. The lyke is of those whiche pray in an vnknowne toung, not knowing what they saye. For first it is certaine, that their prayer can ⟨p. 14⟩not please God, but so farre foorth as it is made in true faith. On the other side, true faith is not without vnderstanding what it is that she demaundeth of God: séeing it is so, then it foloweth wel, that he prayeth without faith, that praieth, not vnderstanding what he prayeth, and by consequent doth mocke and dishonor God.
