This argument seemeth very Light. A man may easily, and sensibly with his fingers feel the folly of it in the Dark. Verily S. Basiles words to the contrary shine so clear, that I marvel, M. Harding could not, or would not see them. For thus he writeth before in the same Book:1 [Greek or Hebrew]. Illustrabatur aër: vel potiùs lumen sibi totum, & in totum permistum habuit. The Air was lightened: or rather it had the whole Light wholly Mingled with it self. 2Again he saith, The world was invisible, because the Air was without light. S. Basil saith, The Light was in the Air, and that wholly through the whole, as in a Subject: Yet M. Harding forceth S. Basil to say contrary to him self: The Light was only an Accident without Subject, and was stayed in nothing. Now judge thou, good Christian Reader, what credit thou mayest give to M. Hardinges words in reporting of the Ancient Doctors.
This argument seemeth very Light. A man maie easily, and sensibly with his fingers féele the folie of it in the Darke. Verily S. Basiles woordes to the contrary shine so cleare, that I maruel, M. Hardinge coulde not, or woulde not sée them. For thus he writeth before in the same Booke:1 〈non-Latin alphabet〉. Illustrabatur aër: vel potiùs lumen sibi totum, & in totum permistum habuit. The Ayre was lightened: or rather it had the whole Light wholy Mingled with it self. 2Againe he saith, The worlde was inuisible, bicause the Ayre was without lighte. S. Basile saithe, The Lighte was in the Ayre, and that wholy through the whole, as in a Subiect: Yet M. Harding forceth S. Basile to saie contrary to him self: The Light was onely an Accident without Subiecte, and was staied in nothinge. Nowe iudge thou, good Christian Reader, what credite thou maist geue to M. Hardinges woordes in reportinge of the Ancient Doctours.
