by_o which_o he_o will_v have_v she_o distinguish_v to_o be_v a_o true_a church_n to_o become_v brand_v and_o stigmatizing_n of_o her_o error_n and_o fall_v from_o the_o primitive_a church_n 3._o another_o reason_n the_o doctor_n enforce_v be_v this_o that_o there_o be_v many_o word_n in_o people_n language_n which_o be_v hard_a to_o be_v understand_v and_o therefore_o they_o may_v as_o well_o have_v all_o in_o latin_a for_o that_o the_o common_a people_n do_v not_o understand_v every_o word_n they_o speak_v this_o seem_v to_o i_o a_o very_a strange_a argument_n whilst_o he_o thus_o strive_v to_o clear_v this_o point_n he_o do_v more_o condemn_v it_o or_o obscure_v the_o truth_n for_o this_o be_v ignotum_fw-la per_fw-la ignotius_fw-la because_o the_o common_a people_n do_v not_o understand_v all_o the_o word_n of_o their_o language_n therefore_o they_o shall_v understand_v none_o at_o all_o he_o may_v perchance_o persuade_v some_o fool_n that_o be_v blind_a of_o the_o one_o eye_n to_o put_v out_o the_o other_o to_o make_v they_o both_o alike_o but_o he_o must_v bring_v strong_a reason_n and_o prove_v himself_o a_o better_a scholar_n else_o it_o will_v be_v hard_a for_o he_o to_o turn_v our_o english_a into_o latin_a and_o make_v the_o lyturgie_n of_o other_o church_n to_o speak_v the_o roman_a tongue_n when_o vitalianus_n decree_v the_o latin_a service_n greek_z be_v more_o general_o know_v then_o the_o latin_a insomuch_o that_o in_o several_a part_n of_o italy_n the_o latin_a be_v not_o speak_v as_o in_o calabria_n the_o greek_a be_v speak_v in_o itruria_n the_o tuscan_a in_o apulia_n the_o mesapian_a tongue_n the_o latin_a be_v only_o the_o proper_a language_n of_o the_o territory_n of_o latium_n in_o which_o rome_n be_v situate_a neither_o be_v any_o thing_n general_a write_v but_o in_o the_o greek_a tongue_n so_o that_o if_o it_o be_v convenient_a to_o have_v the_o lyturgie_n in_o one_o tongue_n universal_o the_o alteration_n from_o the_o greek_a into_o latin_a be_v at_o first_o unlawful_a in_o respect_n of_o the_o narrowness_n of_o the_o language_n in_o those_o day_n it_o be_v do_v only_o out_o of_o ostentation_n and_o for_o the_o glory_n of_o the_o roman_a see_v to_o make_v other_o receive_v the_o latin_a lyturgie_n after_o she_o have_v surreptitious_o acquire_v the_o title_n of_o universality_n 4._o whereas_o the_o doctor_n allege_v if_o the_o lyturgie_n shall_v be_v in_o distinct_a proper_a language_n of_o several_a people_n whether_o can_v the_o church_n of_o rome_n understand_v the_o error_n therein_o nor_o they_o be_v sure_a there_o be_v none_o in_o it_o this_o argue_v rome_n intolerable_a arrogancy_n as_o if_o none_o can_v be_v christian_n which_o have_v not_o receive_v the_o faith_n from_o she_o whenas_o the_o apostle_n be_v send_v to_o all_o nation_n and_o preach_v the_o gospel_n in_o their_o own_o language_n and_o have_v receive_v the_o faith_n by_o apostolical_a plantation_n it_o be_v equal_o just_a with_o they_o to_o correct_v rome_n as_o she_o to_o correct_v they_o both_o be_v herein_o bind_v to_o the_o discipline_n of_o a_o general_a council_n send_v thither_o some_o one_o or_o other_o which_o shall_v in_o some_o general_a language_n there_o make_v know_v their_o case_n beside_o this_o argument_n of_o the_o doctor_n have_v give_v rome_n a_o most_o deadly_a blow_n for_o if_o rome_n be_v the_o only_a catholic_n church_n and_o her_o bishop_n have_v all_o apostolical_a power_n devolve_v upon_o her_o own_o head_n certain_o she_o be_v either_o enable_v to_o teach_v all_o nation_n or_o else_o it_o will_v follow_v that_o those_o people_n which_o have_v not_o yet_o receive_v the_o faith_n must_v still_o remain_v in_o darkness_n because_o rome_n want_v the_o gift_n of_o interpretation_n of_o tongue_n and_o know_v not_o how_o to_o make_v they_o understand_v the_o gospel_n of_o jesus_n and_o for_o that_o faith_n come_v by_o hear_v not_o by_o dumb_a show_n unless_o rome_n be_v able_a to_o make_v such_o people_n understand_v service_n and_o prayer_n they_o will_v think_v her_o priest_n be_v mad_a it_o be_v not_o his_o praise_a god_n with_o a_o understand_a heart_n that_o can_v edify_v they_o though_o the_o priest_n shall_v praise_v the_o lord_n upon_o the_o harp_n they_o will_v but_o think_v as_o the_o negro_n do_v when_o they_o first_o hear_v bagpipe_n that_o they_o be_v live_v creature_n and_o ascribe_v deity_n to_o they_o and_o so_o instead_o of_o preach_v jesus_n or_o offer_v praise_n to_o he_o they_o will_v make_v the_o people_n commit_v idolatry_n if_o the_o priest_n know_v not_o how_o to_o persuade_v they_o of_o their_o error_n much_o less_o to_o make_v they_o sensible_a of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n prescribe_a rule_n and_o so_o by_o this_o mean_v the_o doctor_n have_v confess_v the_o people_n to_o want_v brain_n correspondent_a to_o his_o universal_a head_n and_o whereas_o the_o doctor_n allege_v language_n the_o difference_n of_o language_n that_o all_o language_n be_v not_o of_o equal_a extent_n and_o therefore_o incongruity_n will_v arise_v beside_o say_v he_o the_o inconvenience_n of_o have_v it_o in_o latin_a be_v but_o in_o part_n and_o that_o to_o the_o ignorant_a i_o conceive_v these_o reason_n make_v rather_o against_o it_o than_o otherwise_o it_o be_v true_a all_o language_n be_v not_o of_o the_o same_o latitude_n in_o some_o language_n one_o word_n comprehend_v several_a word_n in_o another_o language_n god_n have_v give_v to_o every_o nation_n several_a gift_n of_o tongue_n reason_n teach_v man_n to_o reduce_v out_o of_o confuse_a and_o indictinct_a sound_n articulate_v syllable_n and_o peculiar_a word_n to_o signify_v their_o own_o meaning_n and_o time_n and_o art_n have_v perfect_v those_o beginning_n so_o that_o now_o every_o nation_n abound_v in_o its_o own_o language_n the_o language_n of_o the_o nation_n be_v at_o first_o make_v different_a according_a to_o the_o different_a imagination_n of_o several_a people_n at_o the_o first_o compose_v of_o such_o language_n but_o yet_o nothing_o that_o be_v imaginable_a but_o they_o have_v or_o can_v give_v a_o name_n whereby_o to_o represent_v to_o their_o sense_n the_o nature_n of_o the_o thing_n or_o if_o they_o already_o have_v a_o name_n for_o any_o thing_n and_o do_v not_o know_v the_o reason_n of_o that_o denomination_n yet_o they_o rest_v satisfy_v with_o the_o articulate_a sound_n of_o the_o word_n which_o bring_v unto_o their_o mind_n the_o thing_n intend_v and_o mean_v now_o because_o of_o those_o several_a nation_n and_o people_n which_o at_o first_o invent_v several_a different_a language_n insomuch_o that_o in_o the_o language_n of_o one_o country_n one_o word_n may_v comprehend_v a_o parephrasis_n of_o another_o that_o therefore_o such_o a_o country_n language_n be_v too_o short_a it_o must_v not_o be_v imagine_v for_o though_o to_o stranger_n it_o seem_v imperfect_a yet_o among_o themselves_o it_o be_v sufficient_o to_o describe_v the_o thing_n intend_v wherefore_o i_o shall_v think_v that_o understand_v the_o doctor_n objection_n it_o be_v fit_a that_o every_o nation_n have_v a_o lyturgie_n in_o its_o own_o proper_a language_n it_o perchance_o may_v seem_v to_o some_o to_o breed_v incongruity_n but_o indeed_o it_o do_v not_o it_o denote_v the_o difference_n of_o language_n in_o respect_n of_o latitude_n or_o extent_n but_o it_o retain_v a_o royal_a and_o concure_a sense_n and_o understanding_n of_o the_o thing_n present_v to_o their_o fancy_n without_o which_o the_o people_n must_v for_o ever_o remain_v in_o darkness_n and_o lock_v up_o in_o ignorance_n which_o be_v not_o god_n will_v he_o command_v his_o apostle_n to_o teach_v all_o nation_n and_o send_v they_o especial_o to_o the_o lose_a sheep_n of_o the_o house_n of_o israel_n matth._n 10._o god_n be_v light_n and_o jesus_n be_v the_o tender_a dayspring_n from_o on_o high_a which_o have_v visit_v we_o to_o give_v light_n to_o they_o that_o sit_v in_o darkness_n and_o in_o the_o shadow_n of_o death_n and_o to_o guide_v our_o foot_n in_o the_o way_n of_o peace_n wherefore_o for_o rome_n to_o take_v away_o this_o light_n to_o let_v this_o inconvenience_n as_o the_o doctor_n say_v to_o be_v upon_o the_o ignorant_a be_v not_o to_o discharge_v the_o office_n of_o peter_n and_o paul_n who_o be_v send_v out_o to_o bring_v into_o light_n they_o that_o sit_v in_o darkness_n matth._n 4._o to_o they_o that_o sit_v in_o darkness_n be_v light_o rise_v up_o jesus_n come_v into_o the_o world_n a_o light_n say_v s._n john_n john_n 12.46_o that_o whosoever_o believe_v in_o he_o shall_v not_o abide_v in_o darkness_n whether_o jew_n or_o gentile_n we_o be_v one_o sheep_n under_o one_o shepherd_n christ_n jesus_n john_n 10.16_o wherefore_o for_o the_o doctor_n to_o extenuate_v this_o error_n of_o rome_n to_o say_v that_o the_o inconvenience_n be_v only_o to_o the_o ignorant_a be_v to_o i_o a_o strange_a divinity_n for_o
