Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Works of John Jewel, D.D., Bishop of Salisbury, Vol. 2 of 8 Howbeit he bath done that was the part of a good orator, that the learned may say, he hath shewed learning and eloquence; the unlearned may think, he hath said some truth. M. Harding: First Division. If you mean, M. Jewel, "by the people´s common prayers," such as at that time they commonly made to God in private devotion, I think they uttered them in that tongue which they understood; (65) and so do Christian people now for the most ∂ and it hath never been reproved by any catholic doctor. But, if by the common prayers you mean the public service of the church, whereof the most part hath been pronounced by the bishops, priests, deacons, and other ecclesiastical ministers, the people to sundry parts of it saying Amen, or otherwise giving their assent; I grant, some understood the language thereof, and some understood it ¬ I mean, for the time you refer us unto, even of six hundred years after Christ´s conversation here in earth. For about nine hundred years past, (66) it is certain, the people in some countries had their service in an unknown tongue, as it shall be proved of our own country of England. The Bishop of Salisbury. The disorder of prayer, that M. Harding hath here taken in hand to defend, is not only repugnant to the scriptures of God, but also contrary to the sense of nature. For, if birds and beasts could speak, as Democritus the philosopher . sometime thought, and as Lactantius a Christian writer seemeth partly to say they do, yet, being birds and beasts, and void of reason, they would not speak they know not what. Wherefore seeing this abuse appeareth contrary to God and nature, and now also is misliked and condemned by the common judgment of all people, therefore it behoveth M. Harding to leave his guesses, and soundly and effectually to seek to prove it. Two special things he hath confessed in this treaty, which quite overthrow his whole purpose; the one is, "That the prayers in the primitive church were said in the common known tongue;" the other is, "That it were good even now, that the people understood their own prayers."
