天主在教會內所建立者、一為宗徒、二為先知、三為教師、次則聖蹟、異能、醫道賑濟、管理、及各種方言；

或行靈蹟、或作預言、或識別神之真偽、或操方言、或譯方言；

即自然現象、亦予爾以暗示焉。男子而蓄長髮恥也；

爾等當追求愛德、亦當志於靈賦；而靈賦之中、預言尚矣。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。惟作先知之言、則所以覺眾；立人達人、勸人慰人、於是乎賴。作方言者立己、而作預言者立眾。吾固願爾等皆能操方言、顧吾尤望爾等能作預言。蓋操方言者、苟非自譯以裨會眾、則不若預言之為愈也。譬如吾來兄弟處、儘操方言、則於爾何益；必也授爾以啟示、傳爾以知識、覺爾以預言、警爾以教訓、斯有益矣。今夫簫與琴者、無生之物也；其聲律猶須釐然而不相混、不然將無以成音調。再如吹角、若發音含混不明、其誰復鼓舞精神、從事戰鬥耶？因此、爾操方言、亦必須加以闡明；不然、將何以使人曉然於爾之所言、是何異與西風作對話乎！世間容有如許方言、且各有其義，然吾若不識其所言之意義、則我之於彼如異邦、彼之於我如陌路耳。是故爾既有志於靈賦、則須以建立聖會為宗旨。操方言者、務須祈求繙譯之術、俾知如何譯述。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。然則何如斯可？吾固欲以心魂頌禱、亦欲以理智頌禱也。吾固欲以心魂歌詠、亦欲以理智歌詠也。不然、爾若僅用心魂祝頌、則在無術者將莫明爾之所云、又何以應爾之稱謝而曰『心焉祝之』乎？爾之謝恩、固善矣、顧彼則未受惠也。感荷天主大德、吾所操方言、多於爾眾。然在集會時、吾無寧用理智說述五句教人之語、而不願用方言說千萬語也。兄弟、吾人對邪惡之事、宜若童蒙、一無所知；惟對於理智、則莫為童蒙、當作老成練達之人。經載主言云：『吾將用異舌異脣警告斯民；雖然、其亦不我聽矣。』可知方言之為用、非所以警信者、乃所以警不信者；而預言非所以曉諭不信者、乃所以曉諭信者也。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、自覺心中隱念、昭然若揭、則必俯伏而頂禮天主、且自承天主之實與爾偕矣。
