The grounds, he here speaketh of, be his Doctors, such as he hath already brought forth, laid up in great secrecy, and hidden from all the world by the space of one thousand years and more, and now of late found out by chance: some in Islands in the Sea: some in Arches under the ground: some so defaced with mould and canker, that it was hard to guess their meaning: some full of impudent lies and fables, one parcel not agreeing with another: some devised and written by heretics, and ever mistrusted and condemned of the Church, yet every of these, as M. Harding well knoweth, fully reporting the holy Communion, and manifestly testifying against Private Mass. These be M. Hardinges greatest grounds.
