As for an audible pronouncing of Amen, if the 1mind of them that pronounce it, have been upon that which the Minister uttered, and their heart have given consent thereto, it compriseth altogether as much as the Minister hath uttered.

It must therefore be uttered by every one, altogether, so loud, as the Minister may hear their consent, as well as they hear what he hath uttered in their name. For the one is as requisite as the other.
