rfect and consummate ende of sacrificing for synne: where then is their enuented satisfaction for synne? Yea who doth not see / that this theyr doctryne doth withdrawe from Christ / the fulness of that his satisfaction with which he satisficed for vs? when they do saye that it is not sufficient / except we do adde ours also. And this theyr wicked errour they go about to colour / because the olde fathers vsed often times this worde / satisfaction. But they will not see / that the fathers ment therby / to satisfice the churche / when they were receyued publiquely to repentaunce / and not to satisfice to Godd. Except thow wilt saye that to satisfice is nothing els / but when one doth make himself approued vnto an other man. For euen so are we saide to satisfice to Godd / when as after our conuercion and turning to his grace / we do lyue godly for his pleasure / to aproue our selues vnto hym / as his children. Thus satisfactions / are signes of the forgyuenes of synnes and of true repentaunce. But (as I sayde) theise men do both thincke / and teache otherwyse / and do defende obstinatly theyr error / they will not be satisficed by the word of God / wherfor they are heretikes. They do teache furthermore / that it is lawfull in the congregacion to do the holy seruice / in a tongue that is not vnderstonded. And this they do indeede / and defende theyr misdoinge / neither being admonished will they amende it. [[1. Cor. 14]] Paule doth forbidde the christians the vse of those tongues in the congregacions / which euen by miracle were bestowed vpon them / except they did interpretate and expounde that which they shuld speake in them. And all Paules reasons are grounded vpon the edifying of the congregacion / whiche aboue all thinges we ought to seeke in the holy meetinges and congregacions. But there shalbe no edificacion at all / when that thing which is spoken / is not vnderstonded of the people. Paule saith. My brethren yf I do come vnto you speaking with tongues / what shall I profite you / excepte I speake to you / eyther by reuelacion / or by knowledge / or by prophecying / or by doctryne. But these sacrificers / lyke men that can do mutch more then Paule / they do come with a straunge tong / which the congregacion vnderstondeth not / and yet neuertheles they bragge that they do muche profite the congregacion. Paule will rather speake fyue wordes / to the enformacion of others / then ten thousand wordes with to
