The B. of Sarisburie.

Or that the People had their Common Praiers then in a strange tongue, that they vnderstoode not.

TO furnishe out this Article, M. Hardinge hath laide togeather a greate heape of Stories, Antiquities, Obseruations of writers, Erections, Pro∣pagations, Canons, and Orders of the Churche, Cosmographie, Situa∣tion of Countries, Corruptions and Chaunges of tongues: whiche thinges he might better haue vsed to some other purpose. Now they serue him more for shew of learninge, then for substance of proufe. He hath bestowed vpon this treatie, what so euer he coulde either diuise of him selfe, or finde in others, adding bisides al maner of bewtie, and force vnto the same, bothe with weight of sentence, and also with colour of woordes. How be it, greate vessels be not alwaies ful: and the emptier they be, the more they sounde. The wise Reader wil be weighed with reason, and not with talke. As I saide at the beginning, One good sentence were proufe sufficient. And if there be any one suche in this whole booke, I wil yéelde accordinge to promisse. If there be none, then must M. Hardinge consider better of the mater, and beginne againe. How be it, he hath donne, that was the parte of a good Oratour: that y^e learned may say, he hath shewed learning, and eloquence: the vnlearned may thinke, he hath saide some truthe.
