merciful_o than_o their_o sin_n deserve_v not_o to_o be_v doubt_v for_o this_o the_o universal_a church_n observe_v as_o a_o tradition_n of_o our_o father_n that_o for_o those_o who_o be_v dead_a in_o

to_o all_o his_o three_o pretend_a novelty_n in_o the_o profession_n of_o faith_n compile_v by_o pope_n pius_n four_o 4._o out_o of_o the_o council_n of_o trent_n it_o be_v say_v i_o profess_v that_o

matter_n stand_v in_o this_o point_n with_o the_o roman_a catholic_a church_n 9_o we_o roman_a catholic_o i_o do_v willing_o acknowledge_v that_o in_o the_o primitive_a time_n the_o public_a service_n of_o god_n be_v general_o speak_v perform_v in_o a_o tongue_n better_o understand_v than_o now_o it_o be_v yet_o not_o then_o for_o many_o place_n and_o country_n in_o their_o vulgar_a or_o native_a or_o best_a understand_v tongue_n for_o it_o be_v evident_a by_o st._n augustin_n that_o in_o afric_n it_o be_v in_o the_o latin_a tongue_n doctr._n not_o in_o the_o punic_a romanos_fw-la which_o yet_o be_v the_o only_a tongue_n the_o vulgar_a understand_v so_o the_o liturgy_n of_o st._n basil_n be_v use_v in_o the_o greek_a tongue_n in_o most_o part_n of_o the_o eastern_a church_n and_o yet_o it_o appear_v as_o well_o out_o of_o late_a history_n as_o out_o of_o the_o act_n 2._o 8_o 9_o 10._o etc._n etc._n 14._o v._n 11._o that_o greek_a be_v not_o in_o those_o ancient_a time_n the_o vulgar_a tongue_n of_o many_o of_o those_o eastern_a country_n no_o more_o than_o latin_a be_v of_o the_o western_a 2._o we_o profess_v it_o be_v not_o nor_o yet_o be_v the_o intention_n of_o the_o church_n that_o the_o public_a devotion_n shall_v therefore_o be_v in_o latin_a because_o it_o be_v not_o vulgar_o understand_v but_o this_o have_v happen_v as_o it_o be_v by_o accident_n beside_o her_o intention_n and_o only_o because_o the_o latin_a tongue_n in_o which_o it_o be_v first_o write_v by_o revolution_n of_o time_n and_o mixture_n of_o barbarous_a nation_n in_o europe_n have_v be_v corrupt_v and_o cease_v to_o be_v a_o so_o common_o understand_v language_n by_o unlearned_a people_n for_o indeed_o probable_o it_o be_v never_o so_o well_o understand_v as_o that_o other_o native_a language_n which_o they_o use_v before_o it_o or_o with_o it_o 10._o matter_n stand_v thus_o yet_o the_o church_n do_v not_o think_v fit_a to_o change_v with_o the_o time_n but_o continue_v god_n public_a service_n as_o it_o be_v at_o first_o and_o this_o we_o may_v conceive_v she_o do_v 1._o because_o no_o example_n can_v be_v find_v in_o antiently-established_n church_n that_o any_o of_o they_o change_v the_o language_n of_o god_n public_a service_n entire_o the_o greek_n now_o use_v the_o ancient_a mass_n of_o st._n chrysostom_n write_v in_o pure_a greek_a as_o much_o differ_v from_o the_o vulgar_a as_o latin_a from_o the_o italian_a spanish_a etc._n etc._n the_o like_a may_v be_v say_v of_o the_o syrian_a cophtite_n etc._n etc._n among_o who_o the_o mass_n be_v celebrate_v in_o the_o o●d_a language_n far_o from_o be_v vulgar_o understand_v yea_o the_o jew_n continue_v their_o devotion_n to_o this_o day_n in_o the_o hebrew_n understand_v by_o few_o among_o they_o 2._o because_o though_o the_o latin_a be_v not_o now_o in_o any_o place_n a_o vulgar_a language_n yet_o there_o be_v no_o language_n so_o universal_o understand_v in_o europe_n as_o that_o and_o a_o great_a fitness_n there_o be_v that_o the_o most_o public_a service_n shall_v be_v in_o the_o most_o public_a language_n in_o which_o all_o nation_n may_v join_v every_o where_o and_o by_o those_o who_o most_o frequent_o recite_v the_o divine_a service_n in_o the_o catholic_a church_n viz._n the_o clergy_n and_o other_o religious_a for_o who_o proper_a use_n a_o great_a part_n of_o this_o service_n be_v compose_v the_o latin_a tongue_n be_v well_o understand_v 3._o because_o the_o latin_a ●ongue_z now_o that_o it_o be_v not_o vulgar_a be_v thereby_o become_v unchangeable_a the_o church_n doctrine_n contain_v in_o her_o liturgy_n be_v so_o much_o the_o more_o free_v from_o the_o danger_n of_o be_v innovate_v whereas_o vulgar_a language_n almost_o in_o every_o age_n become_v
