A66394	A discourse concerning the celebration of divine service in an unknown tongue	Williams, John, 1636?-1709.	1685 (1685)	Wing W2702; ESTC R1943	35,062	62

hebrew_n greek_a and_o latin_a make_v all_o to_o his_o praise_n etc._n etc._n 9_o and_o conformable_a to_o this_o be_v the_o decree_n of_o the_o council_n of_o lateran_n under_o innocent_a iii_o anno_fw-la 1215._o that_o because_o in_o many_o part_n within_o the_o same_o city_n and_o diocese_n there_o be_v many_o people_n of_o different_a manner_n and_o rite_n mix_v together_o but_o of_o one_o faith_n we_o therefore_o command_v that_o the_o bishop_n of_o such_o city_n or_o diocese_n provide_v fit_a man_n who_o shall_v celebrate_v divine_a office_n according_a to_o the_o diversity_n of_o tongue_n and_o rite_n and_o administer_v the_o sacrament_n 36._o this_o may_v be_v further_o confirm_v by_o the_o very_a office_n of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n but_o this_o be_v sufficient_a to_o show_v that_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n have_v depart_v from_o scripture_n antiquity_n and_o itself_o when_o it_o do_v require_v that_o divine_a service_n be_v perform_v in_o a_o tongue_n unknown_a to_o the_o people_n and_o that_o it_o be_v never_o the_o opinion_n of_o the_o father_n nor_o any_o church_n nor_o even_o of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n that_o it_o be_v most_o expedient_a to_o have_v it_o so_o perform_v so_o little_o be_v it_o then_o think_v 64._o that_o religious_a thing_n the_o less_o they_o be_v understand_v the_o more_o they_o will_v be_v admire_v and_o that_o to_o preserve_v a_o reverence_n for_o they_o and_o the_o people_n from_o dangerous_a error_n it_o be_v requisite_a to_o keep_v they_o from_o be_v understand_v so_o little_o be_v it_o plead_v that_o there_o be_v any_o tongue_n sacred_a in_o themselves_o and_o 47._o that_o as_o the_o three_o upon_o the_o cross_n of_o christ_n be_v to_o be_v prefer_v before_o other_o and_o to_o exclude_v the_o rest_n so_o the_o latin_a as_o next_o to_o the_o head_n of_o christ_n be_v the_o most_o venerable_a of_o the_o three_o so_o little_o be_v it_o then_o think_v that_o there_o be_v a_o certain_a kind_n of_o divinity_n in_o latin_a and_o 72._o something_o more_o of_o majesty_n and_o fit_a to_o stir_v up_o devotion_n than_o in_o other_o tongue_n so_o little_o be_v they_o afraid_a that_o latin_a will_v be_v lose_v if_o the_o service_n be_v not_o keep_v in_o it_o or_o however_o so_o little_a evident_a be_v it_o that_o they_o value_v the_o preservation_n of_o that_o tongue_n above_o the_o edification_n of_o the_o church_n last_o so_o little_o do_v they_o think_v of_o the_o expedience_n of_o have_v the_o service_n in_o one_o common_a tongue_n as_o latin_a 461._o that_o christian_n wherever_o they_o travel_v may_v find_v the_o self_n same_o service_n and_o priest_n may_v officiate_v in_o it_o as_o at_o home_n as_o if_o for_o the_o sake_n of_o the_o few_o that_o travel_n the_o many_o that_o stay_v at_o home_n shall_v be_v leave_v destitute_a and_o for_o one_o man_n convenience_n 10000_o be_v expose_v to_o eternal_a perdition_n these_o be_v argument_n coin_v on_o purpose_n to_o defend_v the_o cause_n and_o so_o be_v peculiar_a to_o the_o church_n that_o need_v they_o ii_o let_v we_o consider_v whether_o from_o the_o time_n of_o its_o have_v be_v a_o rite_n it_o have_v be_v the_o rite_n of_o every_o church_n 15._o to_o this_o i_o shall_v only_o produce_v their_o own_o confession_n for_o it_o be_v acknowledge_v that_o the_o armenian_n egyptian_n habassine_n muscovite_n and_o sclavonian_n septimo_fw-la have_v their_o service_n in_o a_o tongue_n know_v to_o the_o people_n and_o their_o give_v they_o the_o hard_a name_n of_o heretic_n schismatic_n and_o barbarous_a will_v not_o save_v the_o council_n from_o be_v fallible_a when_o it_o say_v it_o be_v the_o rite_n of_o every_o church_n but_o be_v there_o no_o such_o church_n in_o the_o world_n that_o herein_o practise_v contrary_a to_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n yet_o it_o will_v no_o more_o justify_v she_o than_o it_o can_v make_v that_o good_a which_o be_v evil_a that_o expedient_a which_o be_v mischievous_a to_o the_o church_n of_o god_n or_o reconcile_v one_o part_n of_o the_o council_n to_o the_o other_o that_o when_o it_o have_v declare_v the_o mass_n contain_v great_a instruction_n for_o the_o people_n yet_o add_v that_o it_o be_v expedient_a and_o a_o approve_a rite_n that_o it_o be_v not_o celebrate_v in_o the_o vulgar_a tongue_n but_o say_v they_o this_o be_v grant_v if_o there_o be_v no_o interpretation_n but_o that_o be_v provide_v for_o by_o the_o council_n for_o it_o be_v order_v that_o lest_o christ_n sheep_n shall_v hunger_n all_o that_o have_v the_o care_n of_o soul_n shall_v frequent_o expound_v etc._n etc._n and_o that_o we_o be_v now_o to_o consider_v sect_n iv._o whether_o the_o provision_n make_v by_o the_o council_n of_o trent_n for_o have_v some_o part_n of_o the_o mass_n expound_v be_v sufficient_a to_o countervail_v the_o mischief_n of_o have_v the_o whole_a celebrate_v in_o a_o tongue_n not_o understand_v of_o the_o people_n and_o to_o excuse_v the_o church_n of_o rome_n in_o the_o injunction_n of_o it_o 63._o this_o be_v the_o last_o refuge_n they_o betake_v themselves_o to_o confess_v that_o without_o a_o interpretation_n s_o paul_n be_v against_o they_o but_o with_o this_o they_o plead_v he_o be_v for_o they_o but_o what_o shall_v we_o then_o think_v of_o the_o case_n in_o their_o church_n at_o a_o time_n when_o as_o the_o people_n can_v not_o understand_v so_o the_o priest_n can_v not_o interpret_v and_o want_v both_o the_o gift_n and_o have_v not_o acquire_v so_o much_o as_o the_o art_n of_o it_o what_o shall_v we_o think_v of_o their_o case_n and_o their_o church_n that_o have_v neither_o provide_v nor_o do_v use_v such_o a_o interpretation_n as_o the_o apostle_n speak_v of_o but_o what_o differ_v as_o much_o from_o it_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o light_n it_o give_v to_o the_o people_n as_o both_o that_o and_o the_o tongue_n they_o use_v do_v in_o the_o way_n by_o which_o they_o be_v obtain_v if_o it_o be_v a_o translation_n what_o a_o ludicrous_a thing_n will_v it_o be_v for_o a_o church_n in_o its_o constant_a service_n to_o take_v suppose_v the_o lord_n prayer_n in_o piece_n and_o first_o pronounce_v it_o in_o latin_a and_o then_o 62._o in_o english_a but_o as_o they_o do_v not_o permit_v their_o office_n not_o the_o horae_n b._n virgin_n breviary_n or_o mass_n book_n to_o be_v translate_v into_o a_o vulgar_a tongue_n so_o the_o verbal_a translation_n of_o it_o during_o the_o celebration_n of_o mass_n be_v never_o think_v of_o by_o the_o council_n but_o be_v thereby_o condemn_v as_o the_o cause_n and_o seedplot_n of_o many_o error_n as_o we_o be_v inform_v in_o a_o letter_n write_v upon_o the_o occasion_n of_o voisin_n translation_n by_o the_o whole_a clergy_n of_o france_n to_o pope_n alexander_n the_o seven_o and_o whatsoever_o the_o exposition_n do_v refer_v to_o let_v 63._o it_o be_v what_o it_o will_v yet_o it_o be_v not_o to_o the_o devotional_a part_n as_o sanders_n declare_v who_o after_o he_o have_v plead_v that_o a_o unknown_a tongue_n with_o interpretation_n be_v the_o perfect_a fulfil_n of_o s._n paul_n advice_n perceive_v a_o difficulty_n behind_o throws_z all_z off_o with_o this_o if_o the_o interpretation_n of_o prayer_n be_v lay_v aside_o for_o a_o season_n it_o be_v however_o not_o to_o be_v think_v that_o it_o be_v to_o be_v omit_v for_o ever_o etc._n etc._n so_o that_o at_o most_o no_o more_o be_v intend_v than_o a_o short_a exposition_n of_o some_o doctrinal_a point_n or_o ceremony_n which_o may_v as_o well_o be_v call_v a_o exposition_n of_o the_o breviary_n or_o any_o other_o book_n contain_v much_o the_o same_o thing_n as_o the_o missal_n and_o it_o be_v probable_a that_o so_o much_o as_o this_o also_o be_v never_o intend_v which_o if_o ever_o be_v very_o rare_o practise_v among_o they_o insomuch_o as_o ledesma_n 2._o say_v that_o the_o sense_n of_o the_o council_n be_v that_o the_o people_n shall_v be_v instruct_v only_o by_o
