Mr. Makemie says: We dare not allow in Public Worship, which should be for the Edification of all, that inarticulate and unintelligible way and noise of all people, where all or most confusedly speak together, one mans voice drowning the accent of another, which seems to be far from order, that it appears confusion, a Service in an unknown tongue.
