M. Harding first having divided the whole world into two Churches, the Greek and the Latin, afterward maketh offer to prove his purpose. Whereof it may be gathered, that he hath hitherto proved nothing. This division of the Church,1 neither is greatly material, nor of our part much denied: albeit many ways if seemeth unperfect. For the great Churches of Ethiopia, India, and Scythia, planted by S. Matthew, by S. Thomas, and by S. Andrew: besides Arabia, Syria, Persia, Media, Armenia, and a great number of other Countries, which never were neither of the Greek Church, nor of the Latin, are here quite left out. Two propositions M. Harding hath here chosen to prove. The one is, that all the Greek Church had the Common Service wholly and throughly in the Greek tongue. The other is, that some whole countries in the Greek Church, understood not the Greek tongue.
M. Hardinge firste hauinge diuided the whole worlde into twoo Churches, the Gréeke and the Latine, afterwarde maketh offer to prooue his purpose. Whereof it may be geathered, that he hath hitherto prooued nothinge. This diuision of the Churche,1 neither is greately material, nor of our parte muche denied: albeit many waies if séemeth vnperfite. For the greate Churches of Ethiopia, India, and Scythia, planted by S. Matthew, by S. Thomas, and by S. Andrew: bisides Arabia, Syria, Persia, Media, Armenia, and a great number of other Countries, whiche neuer were neither of the Gréeke Churche, nor of the Latine, are here quite leafte out. Twoo propositions M. Hardinge hath here chosen to prooue. The one is, that al the Greeke Churche had the Common Seruice wholy and throughly in the Gréeke tongue. The other is, that some whole countries in the Gréeke Churche, vnderstoode not the Gréeke tongue.
