Further ye saie, To Athenes was she brought, saithe the Fable. And why? For Learninge. Very wel. VVhereas at th•t time, neither any Athenes stoode, nor was there any place of Learninge there any lenger: but al the Countrie of Attica became Barbarous, as wee vnderstande by the writers of that time.
The City of Athens was then overthrown,1 ye say, and Learning there utterly decayed. And therefore all this is but a Fable. And good reason it is, that we believe you, for that your Onuphrius hath so told you. But for your credits sake, M. Harding, lest all men espy your Vanity, tell us, by whom was that Noble, & so Populous, and mighty City of Athens thus laid waste? By what King? By what Captain? By what foreign nation? At what time? How long ago? Having not one poor Author to allege▪ how could ye pretend the names of so many without blushing?
