sermon_n in_o such_o sort_n that_o the_o common_a people_n may_v understand_v it_o and_o in_o the_o 45._o canon_n they_o decree_v that_o every_o christian_n shall_v learn_v the_o creed_n and_o the_o lord_n his_o prayer_n et_fw-la qui_fw-la aliter_fw-la non_fw-la potuerit_fw-la vel_fw-la in_o sva_fw-la lingua_fw-la hoc_fw-la discat_fw-la that_o be_v and_o he_o that_o can_v not_o yet_o let_v he_o learn_v it_o in_o his_o own_o tongue_n whereby_o they_o declare_v that_o they_o desire_n to_o retain_v the_o latin_a tongue_n still_o but_o rather_o than_o the_o people_n shall_v be_v ignorant_a they_o command_v they_o to_o learn_v their_o prayer_n and_o belief_n in_o their_o mother_n tongue_n also_o by_o the_o 43._o canon_n wherein_o they_o judge_v that_o no_o priest_n can_v say_v mass_n alone_o it_o appear_v that_o the_o people_n common_o understand_v the_o latin_a service_n for_o they_o ask_v how_o he_o shall_v say_v dominus_fw-la vobiscum_fw-la and_o admonish_v the_o people_n to_o lift_v up_o their_o heart_n and_o diverse_a like_o say_n where_o there_o be_v none_o by_o he_o but_o himself_o now_o if_o the_o people_n understand_v not_o these_o say_n it_o be_v all_o one_o whether_o they_o be_v present_a or_o absent_a also_o in_o the_o council_n of_o rhein_n hold_v in_o france_n about_o the_o same_o time_n the_o like_a decree_n be_v make_v cap._n 15._o that_o bishop_n study_v to_o preach_v sermon_n and_o homily_n of_o the_o holy_a father_n so_o that_o all_o man_n may_v understand_v according_a to_o the_o property_n of_o their_o tongue_n final_o in_o the_o council_n of_o laterane_n hold_v under_o pope_n innocent_a the_o three_o anno_fw-la dom._n 1215._o in_o which_o council_n transubstantiation_n be_v first_o establish_v the_o 9_o chapter_n it_o be_v plain_o decree_v that_o forasmuch_o as_o within_o one_o city_n and_o diocese_n people_n of_o diverse_a language_n be_v mingle_v together_o have_v under_o one_o faith_n diverse_a rite_n and_o manner_n we_o straight_o command_v that_o the_o bishop_n of_o such_o city_n and_o diocese_n provide_v able_a man_n which_o according_a to_o the_o diversity_n of_o their_o rite_n and_o language_n celebrate_v unto_o they_o the_o divine_a service_n and_o minister_v the_o sacrament_n instruct_v they_o both_o by_o word_n and_o example_n hereby_o it_o appear_v that_o when_o the_o latin_a tongue_n be_v either_o almost_o or_o altogether_o grow_v out_o of_o the_o common_a people_n understanding_n order_n be_v take_v that_o common_a prayer_n shall_v be_v say_v and_o sacrament_n minister_v in_o the_o mother_n tongue_n of_o every_o nation_n but_o the_o bishop_n which_o shall_v have_v see_v it_o put_v in_o execution_n either_o negligent_o omit_v it_o or_o willing_o refuse_v to_o do_v it_o because_o it_o be_v more_o for_o their_o profit_n to_o keep_v the_o people_n in_o blind_a ignorance_n so_o thus_o i_o have_v show_v that_o sudden_o the_o tongue_n of_o common_a prayer_n be_v not_o alter_v 10_o tell_v i_o what_o year_n of_o our_o lord_n under_o what_o emperor_n under_o what_o pope_n by_o who_o these_o thing_n be_v wrought_v upon_o what_o occasion_n this_o marvelous_a mutation_n be_v make_v who_o can_v tell_v the_o original_n of_o every_o blind_a custom_n and_o peevish_a tradition_n of_o every_o old_a error_n and_o foolish_a fashion_n it_o be_v sufficient_a to_o show_v that_o these_o thing_n have_v no_o ground_n in_o the_o scripture_n of_o god_n they_o be_v not_o teach_v by_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n nor_o receive_v in_o the_o church_n that_o follow_v immediate_o after_o they_o and_o then_o we_o be_v bold_a to_o say_v with_o tertullian_n this_o prejudice_n there_o be_v against_o all_o heresy_n how_o soever_o they_o come_v up_o or_o when_o soever_o they_o spring_v up_o that_o be_v true_a that_o be_v first_o and_o that_o be_v false_a that_o be_v latter_a therefore_o from_o the_o beginning_n it_o be_v not_o use_v to_o pray_v for_o the_o dead_a nor_o to_o the_o dead_a from_o the_o beginning_n common_a prayer_n be_v not_o in_o a_o unknown_a tongue_n wherefore_o prayer_n for_o the_o dead_a and_o to_o the_o dead_a with_o prayer_n in_o a_o strange_a tongue_n be_v false_a when_o soever_o they_o begin_v or_o how_o long_o soever_o they_o continue_v 11_o who_o preach_v against_o it_o what_o history_n make_v mention_n of_o it_o who_o of_o all_o your_o pastor_n preach_v against_o it_o be_v god_n his_o church_n so_o void_a of_o the_o spirit_n of_o truth_n and_o strength_n that_o even_o then_o when_o it_o most_o flourish_v it_o have_v none_o that_o dare_v open_a against_o ●uch_o corruption_n of_o religion_n as_o it_o enter_v in_o and_o when_o it_o may_v soon_o have_v be_v repress_v before_o you_o demand_n what_o year_n the_o religion_n of_o the_o papist_n come_v in_o and_o whether_o it_o come_v in_o sudden_o and_o as_o though_o we_o shall_v answer_v that_o it_o come_v in_o sudden_o you_o demand_n who_o preach_v against_o it_o etc_n etc_n this_o be_v to_o fight_v with_o your_o own_o shadow_n for_o we_o say_v not_o that_o it_o come_v in_o sudden_o but_o that_o it_o enter_v by_o small_a degree_n at_o the_o first_o and_o therefore_o be_v less_o espy_v by_o the_o true_a pastor_n especial_o be_v earnest_o occupy_v against_o great_a heresy_n and_o open_a adversary_n that_o seek_v to_o beat_v down_o the_o chief_a foundation_n of_o christian_a faith_n as_o the_o

who_o of_o all_o the_o true_a preacher_n do_v with_o stand_v this_o doctrine_n so_o often_o as_o you_o demand_n one_o thing_n so_o often_o must_v i_o answer_v after_o one_o sort_n this_o mutation_n be_v not_o all_o in_o one_o year_n nor_o in_o one_o hundred_o year_n nor_o in_o one_o thousand_o of_o year_n for_o transubstantiation_n no_o small_a article_n of_o your_o religion_n be_v not_o
