⁶Now brethren, if I come vnto you speaking with tongues, what shall I profit you, except I shall speake to you either by reuelation, or by knowledge, or by prophesying, or by doctrine?

⁷And euen things without life giuing sound, whether pipe or harpe, except they giue a distinction in the ^‖sounds, how shall it be knowen what is piped or harped?

⁸For if the trumpet giue an vncertaine sound, who shall prepare himselfe to the battell?

⁹So likewise you, except ye vtter by the tongue words ^†easie to be vnderstood, how shall it be knowen what is spoken? for ye shall speake into the aire.

¹⁰There are, it may bee, so many kindes of voices in the world, and none of them are without signification.

¹¹Therefore if I know not the meaning of the voyce, I shall bee vnto him that speaketh, a Barbarian, and he that speaketh shall be a Barbarian vnto mee.
