[I] The first, in Latin; which we published lately, called the Formula Missae. This I do not want to have set aside or changed; but, as we havehitherto kept it, so should we be still free to use it where and when weplease, or as occasion requires. I do not want in anywise to let the Latintongue disappear out of Divine Service; for I am so deeply concerned for theyoung. If it lay in my power, and the Greek and Hebrew tongues were asfamiliar to us as the Latin, and possessed as great a store of fine music andsong as the Latin does, Mass should be held and there should be singing andreading, on alternate Sundays in all four languages-German, Latin, Greek andHebrew. I am by no means of one mind with those who set all their store byone language, and despise all others; for I would gladly raise up ageneration able to be of use to Christ in foreign lands and to talk withtheir people, so that we might not be like the Waldenses in Bohemia whosefaith is so involved in the toils of their own language that they can talkintelligibly and plainly with no one unless he first learn their language.That was not the way of the Holy Ghost in the beginning. He did not wait tillall the world should come to Jerusalem, and learn Hebrew. But He endowed theoffice of the ministry with all manner of tongues, so that the Apostles couldspeak to the people wherever they went. I should prefer to follow thisexample; and it is right also that the youth should be practised in manylanguages. Who knows how God will make use of them in years to come? It isfor this end also that schools are established.
