A78369	The Catholick mirrour. Or, a looking-glasse for Protestants Wherein they may plainly see the errours of their church, and the truth of the Roman Catholick. Which is divided into seventeen chapters, containing the principle points in dispute between Catholicks and Protestants, and all proved by their own Bible, for the satisfaction of those that desire to imbrace true religion.		1662 (1662)	Wing C1494A; ESTC R229524	59,266	156

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 to_o god_n only_o for_o all_o the_o church_n and_o not_o to_o we_o and_o since_o it_o be_v so_o in_o these_o practice_n among_o they_o i_o hope_v they_o will_v not_o but_o think_v that_o those_o 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 come_v in_o short_a time_n to_o the_o knowledge_n and_o meaning_n of_o it_o but_o perhaps_o some_o may_v object_v that_o since_o we_o can_v understand_v they_o perfect_o why_o shall_v we_o go_v to_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 hear_v nor_o understand_v he_o because_o the_o prayer_n of_o any_o good_a man_n prevail_v with_o god_n though_o the_o person_n pray_v for_o be_v a_o thousand_o mile_n off_o this_o now_o that_o have_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 sermon_n for_o those_o be_v always_o preach_v in_o the_o mother_n tongue_n to_o common_a people_n because_o when_o the_o priest_n say_v mass_n or_o divine_a service_n he_o speak_v to_o god_n and_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 convenience_n of_o it_o first_o we_o be_v to_o consider_v that_o the_o catholickd_v church_n be_v not_o pin_v up_o into_o one_o kingdom_n or_o dominion_n as_o other_o church_n be_v that_o say_v their_o service_n in_o the_o mother_n tongue_n for_o which_o reason_n since_o that_o all_o nation_n from_o she_o receive_v one_o uniform_a faith_n so_o they_o have_v all_o one_o service_n in_o one_o language_n which_o have_v many_o convenience_n with_o it_o and_o no_o incommodity_n at_o all_o for_o by_o that_o maean_n priest_n that_o be_v send_v into_o foreign_a country_n where_o they_o speak_v never_o a_o word_n of_o the_o language_n when_o they_o come_v there_o yet_o may_v do_v that_o for_o which_o they_o be_v send_v and_o command_v there_o that_o be_v say_v mass_n and_o administer_v the_o sacrament_n as_o well_o as_o if_o they_o do_v and_o those_o in_o those_o country_n where_o they_o be_v send_v can_v as_o well_o understand_v they_o as_o their_o own_o priest_n they_o have_v before_o be_v native_n beside_o many_o thousand_o of_o catholic_n travel_v from_o one_o part_n of_o christendom_n to_o another_o and_o come_v where_o they_o will_v in_o any_o of_o their_o church_n they_o understand_v and_o hear_v the_o same_o service_n that_o they_o do_v at_o home_n which_o if_o it_o be_v not_o say_v in_o all_o place_n in_o one_o language_n they_o can_v not_o for_o since_o the_o catholic_n church_n be_v compose_v of_o so_o many_o nation_n and_o be_v continual_o travel_v and_o mix_v one_o with_o the_o other_o it_o will_v be_v barbarious_a to_o all_o stranger_n to_o hear_v that_o service_n which_o none_o of_o they_o understand_v if_o there_o be_v any_o necessity_n for_o the_o understanding_n of_o it_o as_o for_o example_n the_o french_a spaniard_n italian_n dutch_a

same_o tongue_n as_o it_o be_v in_o their_o own_o country_n they_o understand_v it_o as_o well_o as_o if_o they_o be_v there_o so_o that_o the_o discreet_a reader_n may_v see_v what_o necessity_n and_o convenience_n the_o church_n have_v in_o use_v the_o latin_a service_n which_o if_o it_o be_v confine_v to_o so_o narrow_a limit_n as_o other_o be_v will_v use_v none_o but_o the_o mother_n
