three_o difference_n i_o offer_v be_v that_o those_o request_n and_o interpellation_n to_o the_o martyr_n begin_v at_o the_o end_n of_o the_o four_o century_n be_v neither_o command_v by_o the_o primitive_a church_n authorize_v by_o her_o council_n nor_o use_v in_o her_o public_a office_n but_o that_o on_o the_o contrary_a the_o prayer_n to_o saint_n in_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n be_v enjoin_v by_o that_o church_n be_v authorize_v by_o her_o council_n of_o trent_n and_o use_v in_o her_o public_a office_n and_o in_o the_o most_o solemn_a part_n of_o they_o here_o you_o be_v grow_v very_o angry_a and_o de●e_v i_o to_o show_v any_o canon_n of_o the_o council_n of_o trent_n or_o of_o any_o other_o that_o command_v prayer_n to_o saint_n as_o a_o obligation_n of_o catholic_n faith_n but_o why_o all_o this_o anger_n and_o all_o this_o shi●ting_n be_v there_o then_o any_o danger_n or_o hurt_n in_o those_o invocation_n of_o saint_n that_o you_o shall_v be_v so_o shy_a of_o its_o be_v believe_v that_o your_o church_n command_v they_o ay_o but_o say_v you_o where_o do_v it_o command_v they_o as_o a_o obligation_n of_o catholic_n faith_n this_o it_o be_v to_o be_v afraid_a of_o one_o own_o shadow_n and_o to_o be_v so_o cautious_a as_o to_o run_v into_o nonsense_n who_o else_o will_v talk_v of_o a_o matter_n of_o practice_n be_v command_v as_o a_o obligation_n of_o catholic_n faith_n can_v your_o church_n enjoin_v the_o blessing_n of_o bell_n without_o make_v it_o a_o obligation_n of_o catholic_n faith_n but_o to_o pass_v this_o frightful_a nonsense_n do_v not_o your_o church_n enjoin_v the_o use_n of_o the_o breviaries_n and_o office_n upon_o who_o authority_n be_v they_o use_v among_o you_o do_v not_o the_o council_n of_o trent_n sufficient_o authorise_v they_o when_o it_o appoint_v the_o reform_v of_o the_o breviaries_n you_o will_v not_o say_v that_o be_v to_o strike_v out_o the_o prayer_n to_o saint_n you_o can_v be_v so_o ridiculous_a and_o you_o need_v not_o have_v be_v so_o over-cautious_a about_o nothing_o no_o one_o can_v be_v marry_v in_o our_o church_n without_o the_o use_n of_o the_o ring_n and_o yet_o no_o body_n look_v for_o or_o demand_v a_o canon_n of_o our_o church_n for_o the_o use_n of_o it_o but_o we_o have_v next_o a_o very_a great_a rarity_n and_o it_o seem_v my_o assertion_n be_v very_o false_a that_o no_o council_n in_o the_o

how_o come_v it_o to_o pass_v that_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n do_v not_o authorise_v invocation_n of_o saint_n by_o practise_v it_o how_o come_v the_o council_n of_o trent_n not_o to_o authorise_v the_o romish_a breviary_n which_o be_v certain_o use_v by_o they_o a_o thousand_o time_n during_o their_o session_n but_o some_o man_n be_v so_o fierce_a and_o so_o forgetful_a that_o they_o can_v
