For doth M. Harding believe, it is not possible to learn the Romaine Music, without the Romaine speech: or that the Note cannot be taught without the Ditty? Verily, I reckon him no good Musician, that will say so. By the like reason he might say,1 Damasus besought S. Hierome to send to him, Graecorum psallentiā, the Music of the Greek Church, to the intent to practise the same in the Church of Rome, Ergo, Dam•sus used the Greek Service in the Church of Rome.

But Bede himself is best able to expound his own meaning. Having occasion to entreat of Adrianus, & Theodorus, that came into England the year of our Lord .668. he writeth thus: Sonos cantandi in Ecclesia, quos eatenus in Cantio •antùm noverant, ab hoc tempore per omnes Anglorum Ecclesias discere coeperunt. From that time, they began to learn throughout all the Churches of England, the sounds of singing, or the notes of Music, which before that time were known only in Kent. Bede saith, they learned the Sounds, or Notes, or Harmony, and maketh no mention of the Tongue, or Ditty. But let M. Hardinges Conclusions stand for good. These Musicians taught the Clerks of England to singe after the Romaine manner, Ergo, they had the Latin Service.
