Much might be alleged for proof of having service in the Greek and in the Latin Churches, long before the first six hundred y•••es were expired, which is not denied. The thing that is denied by M. Ivel is this. That for the space of six hundred years after Christ, any Christian people had their Service or Common Prayers, in a tongue they understood not. Which they of his side bear the world in hand, to be a heinous error of the Church, and a wicked deceit of the Papists. And I say, as I said before, that 671 the Service was then in a tongue which some people understood, and some understood not. I mean, the Greek tongue, and the Latin tongue. For that it was within the six hundred years, in any other Barbarous, or Vulgar tongue, I never read, neither I think M. Ivel, nor any the best learned of his side is able to prove. To be the better understanded, I call all tongues Barbarous and Vulgar, beside the Hebrew, Greek, and Latin.
Muche might be alleged for proufe of hauinge seruice in the Greeke and in the Latine Churches, longe before the first sixe hundred y•••es were expired, whiche is not denied. The thinge that is denied by M. Iuel is this. That for the space of sixe hundred yeeres after Christe, any Christian people had their Seruice or Common Praiers, in a tongue they vnderstoode not. Whiche they of his side beare the worlde in hande, to be a hainous errour of the Churche, and a wicked deceite of the Papistes. And I saye, as I saide before, that 671 the Seruice was then in a tongue whiche some people vnderstoode, and some vnderstoode not. I meane, the Greeke tongue, and the Latine tongue. For that it was within the sixe hundred yeeres, in any other Barbarous, or Vulgare tongue, I neuer reade, neither I thinke M. Iuel, nor any the best learned of his side is hable to prooue. To be the better vnderstanded, I cal al tongues Barbarous and Vulgare, biside the Hebrew, Greeke, and Latine.
