and as if we reckoned the benefit we are to reap from them as depending upon the contexture, sound, and jingle of words, or upon the grave composing of the countenance. For having the soul contaminated with concupiscence, not touched with repentance, or comforted by any late reconciliation with God, we go to present Him such words as the memory suggests to the tongue, and hope from thence to obtain the remission of our sins.
Egiazki iduri du geure otoitzez baliatzen garela mordoilo batez bezala eta sorginkerietan eta lilurazko egitekoetan jainkozko hitz sainduak darabiltzaten bezala; eta uste dugula hitzen egituran, hotsean, edo jarraipenean, edo geure jarreran, datzala haien ondorioa. Zeren, arima nahikeriaz beterik, damuaren hunkitzerik gabe, eta Jainkoarenganako birbaketze berririk gabe, bagoazkio oroimenak geure mihiari eman hitzen eskaintzera, eta horretatik espero dugu geure hutsen ordain baten erdiestea.
