On the contrary, arent you just making assumptions in the hopes of getting us to believe that anyone could read Latin who could read at all? And therefore, anyone who was literate could read the scripture freely? Actually education in those days consisted of lessons in English grammar, taught in such a way to prepare them for later lessons in Latin. But, not everyone who could read English also read Latin. And even then, everyone spoke and understood English, so why could it not be read to them?You of course have proof of this ridiculous statement.
Look at the founding fathers how many of them were literate in the classical languages, compared with the majority of the population at that time.

Well of course I do, if you’d bother to read my posts without the Papal glasses. Those things have a way of blocking out the light.
