M. Harding over much paineth him self to prove that thing, that no wise man will deny him. For how can it seem likely, that the whole East, which is in a manner the one half part of the world, containing so many, and so sundry Nations, should speak all one tongue: seeing we our selves in this one little Kingdom of England, have the use of five tongues, and not one of them understanding an other? I marvel that M. Harding alleged not the Fables of Herodotus,1 that Bek in the Phrygians tongue signifieth Bread: Kiki in the Egyptians tongue, an ointment: Achmach, one of the Guard: or Alila, or Urotal, in the Arabic tongue, and such like. For these might have stand him in stead of good proofs, that all the Nations of the whole East part of the world spake not Greek.
M. Hardinge ouer muche paineth him selfe to prooue that thinge, that no wise man wil denie him. For howe can it seeme likely, that the whole Easte, whiche is in a manner the one halfe parte of the worlde, conteininge so many, and so sundrie Nations, shoulde speake al one tongue: seeinge we our selues in this one litle Kingdome of Englande, haue the vse of fiue tongues, and not one of them vnderstandinge an other? I maruel that M. Hardinge alleged not the Fables of Herodotus,1 that Bek in the Phrygians tongue signifieth Breade: Kiki in the Egyptians tongue, an ointement: Achmach, one of the Garde: or Alila, or Vrotal, in the Arabike tongue, and suche like. For these might haue stande him in steede of good proufes, yt al the Nations of the whole East parte of the worlde spake not Greeke.
