not_o therefore_o leave_v the_o read_n of_o it_o quite_o because_o the_o understanding_n of_o some_o part_n be_v beneficial_a to_o they_o so_o their_o common_a prayer_n be_v read_v and_o sing_v in_o cathedral_n and_o other_o place_n be_v not_o understand_v by_o many_o of_o the_o wise_a sort_n much_o less_o by_o the_o common_a people_n and_o so_o be_v all_o one_o as_o if_o it_o be_v in_o latin_a yet_o if_o there_o be_v any_o benefit_n to_o be_v have_v it_o will_v be_v never_o the_o less_o to_o they_o because_o they_o understand_v it_o not_o since_o as_o i_o say_v before_o it_o be_v offer_v

that_o be_v ignorant_a among_o we_o may_v and_o do_v receive_v much_o comfort_n by_o our_o church_n service_n since_o by_o be_v so_o often_o at_o it_o and_o good_a instruction_n from_o priest_n they_o

church_n to_o hear_v the_o servince_n to_o which_o i_o anser_fw-la that_o it_o be_v without_o complare_v better_a to_o go_v to_o god_n church_n to_o offer_v our_o devotion_n by_o every_o one_o pray_v to_o god_n by_o be_v present_a at_o the_o instituion_n of_o the_o bless_a sacrament_n by_o see_v devout_a people_n receive_v it_o with_o true_a devotion_n beside_o none_o but_o atheist_n will_v deny_v but_o that_o it_o be_v better_a to_o do_v any_o act_n of_o devotion_n in_o a_o church_n dedicate_v to_o god_n holy_a service_n and_o nothing_o else_o then_o in_o a_o profane_a house_n which_o be_v chief_o design_v for_o temporal_a business_n but_o indeed_o as_o protestant_n do_v their_o devotion_n in_o church_n there_o be_v no_o great_a difference_n who_o sit_v on_o their_o tail_n stare_v about_o they_o when_o their_o common-prayer_n be_v say_v and_o have_v more_o regard_n to_o the_o manner_n then_o to_o the_o matter_n perform_v but_o it_o be_v far_o otherwise_o with_o catholic_n in_o the_o church_n for_o there_o every_o one_o be_v on_o their_o knee_n pray_v to_o god_n for_o such_o thing_n as_o they_o stand_v in_o need_n of_o and_o the_o priest_n pray_v for_o they_o all_o so_o that_o be_v it_o in_o the_o mother_n tongue_n it_o signify_v nothing_o more_o and_o if_o they_o hear_v he_o not_o speak_v a_o word_n it_o be_v the_o same_o for_o why_o the_o priest_n be_v bind_v to_o say_v the_o divine_a service_n every_o day_n if_o there_o be_v no_o person_n present_v but_o himself_o and_o yet_o we_o may_v receive_v benefit_n by_o his_o prayer_n too_o that_o neither_o see_v

be_v say_v may_v suffice_v any_o moderate_a person_n as_o to_o the_o belief_n that_o there_o be_v no_o necessity_n of_o understand_v the_o common_a service_n as_o there_o be_v in_o the_o hear_n of_o

when_o they_o preach_v it_o be_v direct_v to_o man_n only_o but_o now_o i_o will_v show_v the_o reason_n why_o it_o be_v say_v in_o latin_a in_o all_o place_n of_o the_o world_n and_o the_o
