But saith M. Harding, There must needs be greater difference between these Countries of Asia, and that, because of often overthrows and conquests, that there had happened. The conjecture is good. But the greatest Conquerors that came there, were the Macedonians, the Thebans, and other Grecians, who no doubt, planted there the Greek tongue, as it may soon appear to any man, that can with judgement consider of it.1 S. Paul unto the Ephesians, the Galatians, and the Colossians, dwelling all in this same Asia the Less, wrote in Greek. And S. Luke writing of S. Pauls being, and preaching, at Ephesus saith, It came so to passe, Ut omnes, qui habitabant in Asia, audirent Sermonem Domini Jesu, Judaei simul & Graeci: that all they, that dwelt in Asia, heard the word of the Lord Jesus, both Jews, and Greeks. 2S. Luke that had travailed over that whole Country with S. Paul, knew none other Nation there but Jews, and Greeks: Master Harding hath a guess, there should be some other Barbarous people also: but what they were, or where about they dwelt, or what tongue they spake, he can not tell. Verily Polycarpus was Bishop of Smyrna: Gregorius was Bishop in Pontus: ⟨p. 161⟩S. Basil was Bishop of Caesarea in Cappadocia: Amphilochius Bishop of Iconium in Lycaonia: Gregorius S. Basiles Brother Bishop of Nyssa in Caria, or Thracia. Al these in sundry Countries within Asia the Less preached openly in the Greek tongue, and the vulgar people understood them.
But saithe M. Hardinge, There must needes be greater difference betweene these Countries of Asia, and that, bicause of often ouerthrowes and conquestes, that there had happened. The coniecture is good. But the greatest Conquerours that came there, were the Macedonians, the Thebanes, and other Grecians, who no doubte, planted there the Greeke tongue, as it may soone appeare to any man, that can with iudgement consider of it.1 S. Paule vnto the Ephesians, the Galathians, and the Collossians, dwellinge al in this same Asia the Lesse, wrote in Greeke. And S. Luke writinge of S. Paules beinge, and preachinge, at Ephesus saith, It came so to passe, Vt omnes, qui habitabant in Asia, audirent Sermonem Domini Iesu, Iudaei simul & Graeci: that al they, that dwelte in Asia, hearde the woorde of the Lorde Iesus, bothe Iewes, and Greekes.
