Al our matter is fully answered, and confuted: For M. Harding hath called us New Masters: even with the same authority, and spirit, that Haman said unto king Darius,1 The Jews troubled his country, and professed, and used a New Law. Certainly, our Doctrine is Christs Doctrine, & hath the Testimony, not only of the Law, & the prophets, but also of the ancient Councils, and Old Fathers.

The greatest proof for the Latin Service, that M. Harding can find, standeth upon the bare name of the Latin Church. And yet in that whole Church this day, there is not one nation, that either speaketh, or understandeth the Latin Tongue. Let M. Harding only leave his portuise, and Latin Service: then hath he no further cause to brag of his Latin Church. For, as it now fareth, his Service taketh not name of his Church, but his Church of his Service. Verily, as it is meet, the Service should be in Latin in the Latin Church: so is it meet, the Service should be in English in the English Church.
