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.

The Minor is this, sundry Nations in Asia the Less understood not the Greek. And to prove this, M. Harding hath directed all his drift, But to what end? for neither is it denied by any of us, nor is it any part of our question. And yet not withstanding, is not M. Harding able to prove it with all his guesses.
