Wherein M. Harding much abridgeth the Glory of the Cross of Christ, that would the title thereof to pertain only to the wise, and learned of the Greeks. For Albertus, and Lyra say, It was so written, that all might read it: and, as S. Hierome saith, for witness of all Nations. Neither can we find, that there was any great number of Philosophers present at Christs death, to read that title. As for S. Augustine, by these words Sapientes Graecorum, he understandeth Al the Greeks. For as all the Jews generally gloried of the Law, even so all the Greeks generally gloried in their wisdom.1 And S. Paul saith generally of them both. Judaei Signum quaerunt: Graeci sapientiam. The Jews call for Signs, and miracles: and the Greeks call for knowledge. And therefore one of the Philosophers said, In old times there were seven wise men among the Greeks: but now there are not so many fools: for that they all gloried in their wisdom.

Neither can we finde, that there was any great number of Philosophers present at Christes death, to reade that title. As for S. Augustine, by these woordes Sapientes Graecorum, he vnderstandeth Al the Greekes. For as al the Iewes generally gloried of the Lawe, euen so al the Gréekes generally gloried in their wisedome.1 And S. Paule saithe generally of them bothe. Iudaei Signum quaerunt: Graeci sapientiam. The Iewes cal for Signes, and miracles: and the Greekes cal for knowlege. And therefore one of the Philosophers saide, In olde times there were seuen wise men emonge the Greekes: but nowe there are not so many fooles: for that they al gloried in their wisedome.
