否則、爾以心祝謝、蚩氓既不知云何、焉能依爾所謝而言阿們乎、

若第以心祝謝、則蚩氓見之、不知云何、焉能和以心所願乎、

如爾以神祝謝、則彼無識者、既不知爾何言、焉能於爾祝謝之時、應聲曰阿們乎、

Otherwise when you are praising God in the Spirit, how can someone else, who is now put in the position of an inquirer, say“ Amen” to your thanksgiving, since they do not know what you are saying?

Suppose you are praising God in the Spirit. And suppose there are visitors among you who want to know what’s going on. How can they say“ Amen” when you give thanks? They don’t know what you are saying.

Otherwise, if you give thanks with your spirit, how can anyone in the position of an outsider say“ Amen” to your thanksgiving when he does not know what you are saying?

For if you praise God only in the spirit, how can those who don’t understand you praise God along with you? How can they join you in giving thanks when they don’t understand what you are saying?

Otherwise, if you praise with the spirit, how will the outsider say“ Amen” at your giving of thanks, since he does not know what you are saying?

可頌惟主。義塞之宰。振古如茲。乃至萬代。願爾兆民。同心愛戴。

四靈物應曰：「心焉祝之。」諸老俯伏而頂禮焉。

祝而分之、曰：此乃吾體、為爾等所捨者；爾等當行此禮、以誌永懷。

「願我天主受享一切頌讚、一切光榮、一切妙慧、一切稱謝、一切尊貴、一切權能、永世靡暨、心焉祝之！」

主之聖名。流芳永古。主之光榮。充布下土。耿耿之祝。湧自心府。誰為此曲。小子大維。大維伊阿。耶瑟之裔。

予每思天主因耶穌基督而沛賜爾等以聖寵、未嘗不為爾等向天主代謝洪恩。蓋天主之所以寵飾爾等者、實無微不至；賜爾等善於辭令、富於智慧、一切靈賦、應有盡有、而基督之妙證得確立於爾曹之中；俾爾等安心靜候吾主耶穌基督之顯現。天主亦必賜爾等堅守信德、始終不渝；庶幾爾等於耶穌基督重臨之日、聖德全備、無懈可擊。

吾在基督耶穌懷中篤愛爾等！

強敵日相逼。何以舒憂心。蹙蹙靡所騁。何日聞德音。

於是諸徒起行、隨在宣道、賴主之佑、神跡隨之、用證其道之真實不妄。

何則、操方言者、非與眾人語、乃與天主語也。心中雖言妙諦而他人則莫名其妙也。

凡予所諭於爾者、爾亦當教之共守。予日與爾俱、迄於世末。』

蓋吾若以方言祈禱、則吾之心魂誠禱矣、而吾之理智則未受其益也。

猶太人異曰：『斯人未學、何由知書？』

眾見伯鐸祿若望侃侃而談、且識其為不學小民、素樸之人、皆不勝驚訝、意必曾親炙耶穌者、

倘若全會同人、於聚集時、相約共操方言；其時適有無術或不信之人、亦來到會、不將謂爾等作夢囈耶？若同人共作預言、即來一不信或無術之人、亦將為爾眾所感化為爾眾所詰究、

啟示者曰：「信哉、吾必速臨！」吾曰：「心所願也！主耶穌可以降矣！」

俾立主前。不被搖動。

然耶穌所行事蹟多矣；若欲一一誌之、恐其載籍之繁、雖天下之大、亦不足以藏之。

免我墮誘惑、拯我出咎殃。
