Let him; who can speak only in an unknown tongue.

Speak to himself; in silent meditation and prayer, but not utter in public what his hearers will not understand. Unless a minister speak in a language which his hearers understand, or some one interpret to them his meaning, it is the will of God that he should not speak at all. Suppose he speaks in Latin, and says, "This is not an unknown tongue, but is perhaps the best known in the world"; if his hearers do not understand it, he sacrifices their good and violates the revealed will of God.
