M. Hardinge. The .15. Diuision.
That Emperour had dominion ouer some Nations, that vnderstoode not the Greeke commonly.
Yet no man can tel of any Constitution, that euer he made for Seruice there to be had in their Vul∣gare,
and Barbarous tongue. So many Nations hauinge beene conuerted to the Faith, the common
people whereof vnderstoode neither Greeke, nor Latine: if the hauinge of the Seruice in their Vul∣gare
tongue, had beene thought necessary to their Saluation, The Fathers that stickte not to bestow
their Bloud for their Flockes, woulde not haue spared that smal paine and trauaile, to put their Ser∣uice
in Vulgare tongues. If it had beene necessary, it had been doone: if it had beene doone, it had
beene mentioned by one, or other.

It appear••th by Arnobius vpon the Psalmes,* 1.1 by Epiphanius writinge against Heresies,* 1.2 and by S.
Augustine in his Bookes De Doctrina Christiana. that by accompte of the antiquitie, there were
72. tongues in the worlde. Cicero saithe, that they be in number infinitie. Of them al, 78.* 1.3 neither M. Iuel,
nor any one of his side, is able to shew, that the Publike Seruice of the Churche in any Nation, was
euer for the space of sixe hundred yeeres after Christe, in any other, then in Greeke, and Latine.
