the_o saint_n do_v appease_v the_o wrath_n of_o god_n when_o he_o be_v angry_a with_o sinner_n but_o we_o be_v not_o to_o believe_v any_o such_o thing_n for_o if_o it_o be_v so_o there_o can_v be_v no_o true_a conformity_n between_o the_o will_n of_o the_o saint_n and_o the_o will_n of_o god_n for_o it_o shall_v seem_v that_o the_o saint_n be_v not_o angry_a with_o those_o against_o who_o god_n be_v move_v to_o anger_n second_o by_o this_o magnification_n and_o invocation_n of_o saint_n the_o people_n fall_v into_o idolatry_n put_v their_o trust_n more_o in_o saint_n then_o in_o god_n and_o serve_v they_o with_o great_a affection_n than_o the_o only_a god_n which_o they_o show_v by_o the_o effect_n by_o the_o ornament_n of_o their_o altar_n which_o be_v most_o precious_a by_o their_o excellent_a music_n the_o multiplication_n of_o their_o taper_n and_o by_o other_o solemnity_n by_o which_o mean_v the_o simple_a people_n be_v induce_v to_o think_v that_o the_o saint_n be_v more_o merciful_a than_o god_n because_o they_o free_v he_o from_o damnation_n by_o those_o prayer_n they_o make_v unto_o god_n who_o god_n have_v condemn_v beside_o this_o to_o maintain_v these_o thing_n the_o simple_a people_n be_v teach_v that_o the_o saint_n desire_v that_o man_n shall_v offer_v oblation_n unto_o they_o and_o take_v pleasure_n in_o their_o praise_n and_o that_o they_o mediate_v principal_o for_o those_o that_o offer_v incense_n unto_o they_o and_o other_o honour_n all_o which_o thing_n we_o be_v to_o abhor_v and_o careful_o to_o fly_v of_o this_o invocation_n therefore_o we_o be_v now_o to_o speak_v and_o to_o make_v know_v what_o our_o opinion_n be_v touch_v this_o prayer_n unto_o saint_n and_o first_o let_v we_o see_v what_o invocation_n be_v invocation_n be_v a_o desire_n of_o the_o whole_a understanding_n and_o soul_n send_v unto_o god_n by_o the_o voice_n and_o by_o prayer_n second_o we_o know_v and_o believe_v that_o the_o man_n christ_n jesus_n be_v mediator_n between_o god_n and_o man_n and_o advocate_n to_o god_n the_o father_n who_o have_v pay_v for_o our_o sin_n that_o come_v unto_o god_n by_o he_o see_v he_o ever_o live_v to_o make_v intercession_n for_o they_o heb._n 7.25_o no_o man_n come_v to_o the_o father_n but_o by_o he_o and_o whatsoever_o you_o shall_v ask_v in_o my_o name_n that_o will_v i_o do_v say_v he_o john_n 14.13_o who_o give_v to_o all_o abundant_o and_o reproach_v no_o man_n jam._n 1._o he_o be_v our_o advocate_n to_o god_n the_o father_n and_o he_o forgive_v our_o sin_n he_o offer_v himself_o unto_o we_o by_o

the_o faithful_a must_v tend_v unto_o christ_n by_o thought_n and_o affection_n and_o must_v imitate_v he_o that_o be_v above_o according_a to_o that_o which_o be_v say_v if_o you_o be_v rise_v

shall_v be_v save_v no_o man_n come_v to_o the_o father_n but_o by_o i_o say_v he_o we_o believe_v in_o the_o three_o place_n that_o the_o saint_n be_v not_o propose_v unto_o we_o to_o worship_n but_o to_o imitate_v saint_n paul_n faith_n be_v you_o follower_n of_o i_o as_o i_o be_o of_o christ_n saint_n peter_n will_v not_o suffer_v himself_o to_o be_v worship_v by_o cornelius_n nor_o the_o
