The B. of Sarisburie.

M. Harding, contrary to the order of Rhetoric, would confute our side, before he confirm his own. But I marvel much, to what end he should thus allege Ephrem, onlesse it be to heap matter against him self. For will he thus frame his reason, Ephrem wrote sundry things in his own mother tongue: Ergo, The people had their Service in a strange tongue? Will he have this to be allowed, and go for an argument? If there were nothing ⟨p. 157⟩else▪ here to be gathered, yet hath he touched two things expressly against him self. The one is, that nothing was then read in the Church, saving only the Scriptures, or other matters of Apostolic authority: which thing is also straitly commanded by the Council of Carthage.¹ Yet M. Harding in his Church, even in the Public Service, readeth Lessons, and Legends of childi she Fables.

Wil he haue this to be allowed, and goe for an argument? If there were nothing ⟨p. 157⟩els▪ here to be geathered, yet hath he touched twoo thinges expressely against him selfe. The one is, that nothinge was then redde in the Church, sauinge onely the Scriptures, or other maters of Apostolique authoritie: whiche thinge is also straitely commaunded by the Councel of Carthage.¹
