Here M. Harding, as his wont is, taketh needless pains without profit, to prove that thing, that is not denied. I said, that at the City of Hippo in Africa, where S. Augustine was Bishop, the Common Service of the Church was pronounced in Latin: and that no marvel, for that the whole people there understood, and spake the Latin tongue. For answer whereof Reply is made, and that by Guesses, & likelihoods, that the whole people of Africa, in all the Mountains, and uplandish Countries, was never trained up in the Latin tongue. Which thing neither is denied by me, nor anywise toucheth this Question. For it is easy to be known by S. Augustine, S. Hierome, and others, in infinite places, that the people of that Country had a natural tongue of their own, distinct from all others, and several only to them self. And therefore to prove the same in such earnest sort, by Titus Livius, by Sallust, by Aurelius Victor, by Aelius Spartianus, by S. Augustine, and by S. Hierome, it was only spending of time, without winning of matter. S. Augustine,1 saith Eucharistia, in the Punic tongue was called Life: and Baptismus in the same tongue, was called Health: and rehearseth these words, Mammon, and Jar, and other like words, and certain proverbs, used in the same tongue. S. Hierome saith that Alma, in the Punic tongue signifieth a Virgin, according to the Hebrew. Quintilian saith, that this word, Mappa, was borrowed of the Punikes, and made Latin, as Rheda, and Petoritum, were ⟨p. 181⟩borrowed of the Gauls. Neither is there any reason to lead us, but that they had other words, and sentences of their own sufficient, to express their minds.
