Here M. Harding seemeth by the way to touch the English Translation of the Bible, which calleth such Elements Beggarly Ceremonies, 1him self being not able to translate it better. And yet, if he were well apposed, I think he would hardly yield any great difference between the Greek word [Greek or Hebrew],2 and the Latin word Egena, 3and this English word Beggarly. Which word if it seem to homely, yet S. Hierome in his exposition,4 is as homely, calling it vilem intelligentiam Traditionum. And yet the Prophets abase it further. Jeremiah calleth such Ceremonies so abused, & others devised by men, Chaff, Swill, Dross, & Dreams: Isaiah, Filth: Zechariah, Curses: Ezekiel, Mans dung, & other like.
