those_o two_o usual_a objection_n which_o most_o trouble_v the_o more_o unlearned_a sort_n first_o that_o it_o be_v not_o say_v in_o the_o vulgar_a language_n but_o in_o latin_a which_o most_o do_v not_o understand_v and_o second_o that_o the_o priest_n pronounce_v also_o some_o part_n of_o it_o so_o secret_o to_o himself_o as_o they_o can_v hear_v what_o he_o say_v to_o the_o first_o this_o answer_n may_v suffice_v that_o those_o three_o holy_a language_n hebrew_n greek_n and_o latin_a have_v be_v sanctify_v by_o that_o sacred_a title_n upon_o the_o holy_a cross_n we_o may_v well_o presume_v that_o they_o remain_v ever_o after_o more_o grateful_a to_o god_n more_o venerable_a both_o to_o angel_n and_o man_n &_o much_o more_o dreadful_a doubtless_o to_o the_o devil_n our_o mortal_a and_o ghostly_a enemy_n than_o any_o other_o and_o therefore_o who_o can_v just_o blame_v our_o holy_a and_o prudent_a mother_n the_o cath_z church_n inspire_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n to_o teach_v her_o belove_a child_n to_o praise_v and_o glorify_v this_o our_o dear_a redeemer_n jesus-christ_n in_o her_o chief_a facrifice_n and_o service_n in_o a_o language_n which_o have_v serve_v at_o his_o sacred_a passion_n to_o publish_v his_o glorious_a triumph_n upon_o the_o cross_n and_o there_o to_o declare_v he_o to_o the_o full_a view_n of_o the_o world_n that_o he_o be_v jesus_n nazarenus_n rex_fw-la judaeorum_n john_n 19_o second_o i_o answer_v that_o since_o the_o latin_a church_n be_v found_v by_o the_o apostle_n it_o have_v ever_o use_v this_o tongue_n both_o for_o the_o holy_a scripture_n and_o her_o liturgy_n and_o therefore_o we_o may_v just_o conceive_v she_o too_o ancient_a and_o our_o adversary_n over_o young_a to_o teach_v this_o our_o venerable_a and_o so_o age_a mother_n now_o to_o begin_v to_o speak_v this_o have_v be_v the_o ancient_a language_n in_o england_n as_o s._n bede_n do_v avouch_v at_o the_o very_a first_o plantation_n of_o christianity_n among_o the_o english_a nation_n and_o therefore_o by_o good_a consequence_n this_o practice_n of_o say_v mass_n in_o the_o latin_a tongue_n must_v needs_o at_o least_o be_v full_a as_o ancient_a as_o their_o christendom_n three_o even_o reason_n itself_o make_v it_o manifest_a that_o as_o god_n himself_o be_v one_o and_o ever_o the_o same_o immutable_a and_o his_o church_n universal_a and_o most_o true_o catholic_a and_o not_o of_o one_o nation_n but_o of_o all_o so_o also_o ought_v his_o divine_a and_o public_a service_n to_o be_v perform_v in_o one_o general_n immutable_a and_o universal_a tongue_n and_o not_o in_o a_o vulgar_a which_o be_v not_o understand_v perchance_o two_o hundred_o mile_n in_o length_n and_o which_o every_o age_n be_v very_o subject_a to_o alter_v whereas_o the_o

this_o the_o public_a service_n of_o the_o church_n be_v say_v in_o every_o vulgar_a language_n few_o priest_n will_v be_v able_a to_o exercise_v that_o function_n out_o of_o their_o own_o native_a

therefore_o thy_o must_v of_o necessity_n be_v silent_a abroad_o or_o stay_v at_o home_n whereas_o catholic_a priest_n serve_v god_n after_o the_o selffame_v manner_n in_o every_o place_n and_o all_o
