Take heed, good Reader, M. Harding hath here thrown a great Mist of learning, to da••e thy sight. Onlesse thou eye him well, he will steal from thee. Thus he frameth his Syllogismus. The less Asia being a principal part of the Greek Church, had then the Service in the Greek tongue: But sundry Countries of the same Asia understood not the Greek tongue: Ergo, they had their Service in an unknown tongue.
Take heede, good Reader, M. Hardinge hath here throwen a great Miste of learninge, to da••e thy sighte. Onlesse thou eye him wel, he wil steale from thee. Thus he frameth his Syllogismus. The lesse Asia beinge a principal parte of ye Greeke Churche, had then the Seruice in the Greeke tongue: But sundrie Countries of the same Asia vnderstoode not the Gréeke tongue: Ergo, they had their Seruice in an vnknowen tongue.
Here is a fair gloss. But be not deceived: M. Harding1 knoweth well enough, it is but a fallacy, that is to say, a deceitful argument, named in the Schooles, Ex meris particularibus: or, A non distributo ad distributum. Onlesse he amend the Major, and make it an universal, and say thus, Al Asia the Less had the Service in the Greek tongue, it can in no wise hold. That Asia the Less had the Service in Greek, it is doubted of no man, nor learned, nor unlearned. But, that all Asia the Less had throughout in all parts the same Service, if it be denied, M. Harding with all his learning is not able to prove it: and therefore he did better to turn it over without any proof at all.
