thus_o distinguish_v have_v not_o venture_v to_o tell_v we_o where_o the_o apostle_n do_v treat_v of_o the_o one_o and_o where_o of_o the_o other_o and_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o he_o apply_v his_o argument_n of_o edification_n to_o the_o whole_a and_o then_o proceed_v from_o one_o office_n to_o another_o from_o prophesy_v to_o pray_v and_o sing_v if_o not_o also_o to_o the_o lord_n supper_n now_o where_o the_o end_n be_v common_a to_o all_o without_o distinction_n the_o mean_n conduce_v to_o that_o end_n be_v in_o all_o alike_o to_o be_v observe_v and_o if_o in_o those_o lesser_a assembly_n when_o they_o expound_v pray_v or_o sing_v they_o be_v to_o use_v a_o tongue_n know_v to_o the_o assembly_n because_o without_o so_o do_v the_o end_n of_o their_o so_o assemble_v will_v have_v be_v defeat_v then_o certain_o it_o be_v if_o not_o more_o yet_o at_o least_o as_o necessary_a that_o the_o same_o order_n be_v observe_v when_o the_o whole_a church_n come_v together_o into_o one_o place_n quest_n what_o be_v the_o service_n use_v in_o those_o assembly_n and_o that_o be_v forbid_v to_o be_v celebrate_v in_o a_o unknown_a tongue_n 460._o some_o of_o the_o church_n of_o

what_o though_o the_o prayer_n be_v inspire_v when_o they_o be_v to_o be_v utter_v in_o a_o tongue_n know_v to_o the_o church_n and_o be_v not_o to_o be_v use_v if_o they_o be_v not_o for_o the_o

the_o question_n be_v not_o about_o prayer_n inspire_v or_o not_o inspire_v but_o know_v and_o unknown_a according_a to_o which_o all_o the_o office_n of_o the_o church_n be_v to_o be_v try_v as_o to_o their_o lawfulness_n and_o expedience_n 66._o but_o let_v the_o prayer_n be_v as_o they_o will_v yet_o say_v they_o the_o apostle_n treat_v of_o they_o occasional_o only_a suppose_v this_o so_o to_o be_v yet_o that_o be_v not_o to_o the_o purpose_n for_o the_o question_n be_v not_o whether_o the_o apostle_n treat_v so_o express_o of_o prayer_n as_o of_o prophesy_v as_o whether_o the_o prohibition_n of_o a_o unknown_a tongue_n and_o the_o argument_n take_v from_o the_o end_n of_o divine_a office_n lie_v not_o as_o express_o against_o pray_v as_o prophesy_v in_o that_o way_n and_o whether_o the_o word_n if_o i_o pray_v in_o a_o unknown_a tongue_n my_o spirit_n pray_v but_o my_o understanding_n remain_v unfruitful_a etc._n etc._n v._n 14_o 16._o be_v not_o as_o plain_a as_o he_o

latter_a unlawful_a quest_n 4._o how_o far_o be_v the_o apostle_n prohibition_n to_o be_v extend_v this_o will_v be_v determine_v partly_o from_o what_o have_v be_v before_o say_v and_o partly_o from_o the_o current_n of_o the_o apostle_n discourse_n who_o as_o he_o lay_v down_o that_o general_a rule_n let_v all_o thing_n be_v do_v to_o edify_v so_o upon_o that_o principle_n he_o prohibit_v the_o use_n of_o a_o unknown_a tongue_n as_o inconsistent_a with_o it_o verse_n 14._o if_o i_o pray_v in_o a_o unknown_a tongue_n my_o spirit_n pray_v but_o my_o understanding_n remain_v unfruitful_a where_o he_o do_v not_o speak_v of_o a_o better_a and_o worse_o and_o prefer_v that_o which_o be_v understand_v before_o 460._o that_o which_o be_v not_o as_o they_o will_v have_v it_o but_o he_o speak_v of_o a_o good_a and_o bad_a and_o so_o do_v absolute_o condemn_v a_o unknown_a tongue_n for_o the_o unprofitableness_n of_o it_o for_o say_v he_o my_o spirit_n pray_v not_o the_o affection_n but_o the_o spirit_n in_o the_o gift_n of_o a_o unknown_a tongue_n as_o many_o of_o the_o loc_n ancient_n and_o some_o of_o themselves_o expound_v it_o but_o my_o understanding_n remain_v unfruitful_a to_o myself_o that_o be_v if_o i_o do_v not_o understand_v it_o and_o to_o other_o if_o they_o do_v not_o understand_v i_o as_o the_o apostle_n do_v explain_v it_o verse_n 16._o so_o that_o from_o the_o whole_a we_o may_v with_o good_a reason_n conclude_v that_o the_o administration_n of_o divine_a service_n in_o a_o unknown_a tongue_n be_v as_o unlawful_a as_o express_v scripture_n can_v make_v it_o and_o that_o after_o all_o their_o attempt_n to_o decline_v pervert_v and_o overthrow_v it_o the_o fourteen_o chapter_n of_o the_o first_o epistle_n to_o the_o corinthian_n remain_v in_o full_a force_n against_o the_o opinion_n and_o practice_n of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n and_o be_v a_o sufficient_a reason_n on_o their_o part_n to_o keep_v the_o scripture_n in_o a_o unknown_a tongue_n as_o long_o as_o their_o service_n be_v contrary_a to_o the_o scripture_n celebrate_v constant_o in_o it_o sect_n iii_o i_o shall_v inquire_v whether_o the_o celebrate_n divine_a service_n in_o a_o tongue_n not_o understand_v of_o the_o people_n have_v be_v the_o ancient_a rite_n of_o every_o church_n i._o i_o shall_v consider_v whether_o it_o have_v be_v a_o ancient_a rite_n ii_o 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 and_o custom_n of_o every_o church_n both_o of_o these_o be_v affirm_v by_o the_o council_n of_o trent_n qu._n i._o whether_o it_o have_v be_v a_o ancient_a rite_n ancient_n be_v a_o term_n of_o a_o uncertain_a date_n and_o seem_v to_o have_v be_v choose_v by_o the_o council_n upon_o mature_a deliberation_n lest_o peradventure_o if_o it_o have_v be_v determine_v it_o may_v have_v be_v so_o late_o as_o to_o be_v of_o no_o authority_n in_o itself_o or_o so_o early_a as_o for_o want_v of_o truth_n it_o may_v have_v give_v a_o foul_a shock_n to_o its_o own_o authority_n but_o however_o because_o nothing_o can_v be_v ancient_a than_o what_o be_v first_o let_v we_o consider_v how_o service_n be_v administer_v in_o apostolical_a time_n and_o so_o downward_o as_o much_o before_o the_o council_n as_o any_o thing_n can_v be_v reasonable_o say_v to_o be_v ancient_a by_o it_o i_o have_v already_o account_v for_o the_o apostle_n sense_n in_o this_o matter_n which_o cassander_n call_v after_o s._n chrysostome_n 865._o in_o loc_n a_o apostolical_a command_n for_o service_n in_o a_o tongue_n understand_v of_o the_o people_n and_o if_o we_o take_v a_o step_n low_o and_o so_o proceed_v we_o shall_v find_v a_o uncontrollable_a evidence_n for_o it_o both_z as_o to_o the_o judgement_n and_o practice_n of_o the_o church_n in_o the_o first_o place_n set_v aside_o the_o pretend_a liturgy_n fin_fw-fr of_o s._n james_n and_o s._n clement_n which_o be_v however_o plain_o
