hand_n but_o this_o be_v a_o kindness_n which_o you_o and_o your_o party_n be_v too_o cunning_a to_o use_v we_o to_o when_o i_o have_v first_o answer_v those_o objection_n as_o they_o lie_v in_o the_o nubes_fw-la testium_fw-la i_o do_v expect_v you_o will_v have_v give_v they_o a_o answer_n but_o as_o if_o nothing_o have_v be_v ever_o say_v to_o they_o you_o only_o give_v they_o we_o over_o again_o such_o usage_n be_v very_o provoke_v however_o i_o prevail_v with_o myself_o to_o give_v they_o a_o second_o and_o full_a answer_n and_o what_o must_v i_o expect_v in_o requital_n to_o this_o why_o we_o be_v here_o present_v with_o they_o a_o three_o time_n as_o if_o you_o have_v never_o see_v my_o two_o answer_n to_o they_o and_o be_v this_o ingenuous_a deal_n what_o must_v we_o call_v trifle_v if_o this_o be_v not_o it_o in_o the_o high_a degree_n for_o shame_n sir_n leave_v off_o such_o pitiful_a deal_n if_o you_o be_v not_o able_a to_o defend_v or_o to_o answer_v for_o they_o be_v prevail_v with_o to_o have_v so_o much_o modesty_n as_o to_o let_v they_o lie_v still_o i_o be_o very_a well_o satisfy_v that_o you_o be_v not_o and_o therefore_o for_o the_o reader_n be_v and_o the_o world_n sake_n let_v we_o have_v no_o more_o of_o such_o crambe_n but_o if_o you_o can_v go_v o●●…e'ne_o leave_v off_o and_o this_o sir_n be_v certain_o the_o true_a reason_n why_o you_o let_v my_o historical_a account_n against_o invocation_n pass_v without_o one_o syllable_n of_o answer_n to_o it_o or_o to_o my_o confutation_n of_o your_o objection_n you_o tell_v the_o reader_n you_o will_v only_o consider_v 13_o page_n of_o it_o at_o present_a but_o sir_n count_v again_o and_o you_o will_v find_v that_o you_o must_v take_v 12_o out_o of_o your_o 13_o for_o it_o be_v but_o one_o single_a page_n that_o you_o have_v venture_v upon_o notwithstanding_o your_o brag_n at_o the_o beginning_n and_o that_o be_v the_o 78_o page_n which_o assign_v the_o three_o difference_n betwixt_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n and_o the_o father_n of_o the_o end_n of_o the_o four_o and_o five_o century_n the_o first_o of_o which_o be_v that_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n do_v use_v a_o direct_a invocation_n or_o formal_a prayer_n to_o the_o saint_n and_o angel_n whereas_o the_o father_n who_o begin_v the_o custom_n near_o st._n augustine_n time_n the_o time_n in_o controversy_n betwixt_o we_o use_v mere_o such_o address_n and_o request_n as_o be_v make_v from_o one_o friend_n to_o another_o which_o i_o prove_v from_o their_o own_o word_n in_o answer_n to_o this_o you_o say_v the_o father_n of_o the_o five_o and_o four_o century_n and_o upward_o offer_v with_o as_o formal_a a_o invocation_n as_o humble_a submissive_a and_o devout_a prayer_n to_o the_o saint_n in_o heaven_n as_o any_o that_o be_v in_o present_a use_n among_o catholic_n this_o sir_n i_o will_v own_o to_o be_v very_a home_o against_o i_o and_o the_o prove_v of_o this_o as_o well_o as_o the_o say_n of_o it_o shall_v end_v this_o part_n of_o the_o controversy_n but_o can_v you_o do_v as_o well_o as_o say_v these_o thing_n yes_o sure_a or_o you_o will_v not_o have_v bid_v we_o in_o the_o next_o word_n to_o take_v a_o few_o instance_n of_o matter_n of_o fact_n in_o lieu_n of_o a_o infinity_o that_o can_v be_v produce_v well_o sir_n for_o a_o promiser_n and_o for_o a_o undertaker_n i_o never_o do_v meet_v nor_o ever_o shall_v again_o with_o your_o match_n this_o be_v downright_a rhodomontado_n and_o the_o man_n that_o can_v but_o do_v half_a as_o much_o as_o you_o can_v promise_v will_v be_v the_o great_a man_n the_o church_n of_o rome_n ever_o have_v but_o be_v thing_n to_o be_v carry_v at_o this_o rate_n at_o this_o time_n of_o the_o day_n i_o be_o ashamed_a that_o any_o man_n that_o pretend_v to_o have_v look_v into_o book_n shall_v talk_v at_o such_o a_o extravagant_a and_o so_o absurd_a a_o rate_n and_o shall_v assert_v thing_n so_o wretched_o false_a without_o the_o least_o sign_n of_o blush_v at_o it_o but_o since_o you_o say_v you_o can_v do_v it_o i_o come_v now_o to_o try_v those_o you_o offer_v and_o will_v not_o stand_v with_o you_o for_o the_o five_o century_n but_o desire_v as_o i_o expect_v and_o challenge_v you_o to_o show_v from_o the_o four_o century_n upward_o some_o proof_n of_o this_o extravagant_a promise_n from_o the_o first_o second_o or_o three_o century_n you_o begin_v with_o st._n athanasius_n but_o i_o pray_v which_o of_o the_o three_o century_n do_v he_o live_v in_o you_o undertake_v for_o the_o four_o century_n and_o upward_o but_o forget_v yourself_o within_o six_o line_n of_o it_o your_o meaning_n of_o the_o four_o century_n and_o upward_o prove_v to_o be_v the_o four_o century_n and_o downward_o for_o st._n athanasius_n who_o live_v in_o the_o middle_n of_o the_o four_o century_n be_v the_o first_o and_o the_o most_o ancient_a of_o all_o the_o father_n you_o offer_v we_o and_o be_v not_o this_o very_a fine_a this_o come_v of_o talk_v without_o book_n and_o bluster_a as_o if_o confidence_n will_v do_v the_o business_n itself_o but_o after_o all_o be_v st._n athanasius_n himself_o for_o you_o you_o quote_v he_o here_o out_o of_o his_o tract_n de_fw-la incarnatione_fw-la verbi_fw-la alas_o sir_n it_o be_v always_o ominous_a to_o stumble_v at_o the_o first_o and_o this_o be_v your_o fate_n though_o you_o i_o dare_v say_v for_o you_o be_v far_o from_o know_v it_o for_o this_o tract_n be_v own_a by_o your_o late_a critic_n 117._o not_o to_o be_v st._n athanasius_n so_o that_o your_o first_o author_n be_v a_o forgery_n but_o suppose_v this_o tract_n to_o be_v his_o let_v we_o next_o see_v whether_o he_o vouch_v for_o what_o you_o bring_v he_o you_o quote_v he_o first_o lay_v this_o ground_n for_o his_o practice_n if_o you_o worship_v the_o man_n christ_n because_o the_o word_n of_o god_n dwell_v there_o at_o the_o same_o time_n worship_n also_o the_o saint_n on_o god_n account_n who_o have_v his_o dwell_n in_o they_o and_o then_o offer_v a_o large_a prayer_n to_o the_o virgin_n mary_n i_o must_v own_v myself_o to_o have_v be_v surprise_v at_o this_o account_n of_o saint_n athanasius_n and_o therefore_o i_o can_v assure_v you_o i_o go_v straight_o to_o athanasius_n work_n and_o quick_o find_v your_o word_n here_o to_o be_v one_o of_o the_o most_o scandalous_a abuse_n of_o a_o author_n word_n that_o i_o ever_o read_v the_o passage_n be_v direct_o against_o what_o you_o produce_v it_o for_o the_o tract_n be_v write_v against_o samosatenus_n disciple_n who_o will_v allow_v our_o bless_a saviour_n to_o be_v only_o a_o mere_a man_n and_o deny_v the_o union_n of_o the_o divinity_n to_o the_o humanity_n they_o will_v allow_v that_o god_n descend_v from_o heaven_n dwell_v in_o he_o but_o this_o the_o author_n of_o the_o tract_n reject_v because_o this_o will_v make_v say_v he_o no_o difference_n betwixt_o christ_n and_o the_o rest_n of_o christian_n concern_v who_o the_o scripture_n bring_v in_o god_n say_v that_o he_o will_v dwell_v in_o they_o and_o that_o he_o may_v further_o show_v the_o absurdity_n of_o that_o heresy_n he_o bring_v in_o the_o very_a passage_n you_o quote_v and_o conclude_v it_o thus_o wherefore_o if_o you_o worship_v the_o man_n christ_n together_o with_o god_n because_o god_n dwell_v in_o he_o worship_v also_o the_o saint_n together_o with_o god_n for_o he_o dwell_v in_o they_o also_o and_o be_v not_o this_o absurd_a with_o what_o face_n then_o sir_n can_v you_o bring_v this_o passage_n to_o teach_v the_o worship_n of_o saint_n when_o the_o author_n design_v to_o ridicule_n the_o worship_n of_o christ_n himself_o have_v he_o be_v a_o mere_a man_n and_o have_v speak_v his_o sense_n plain_a enough_o to_o be_v direct_o against_o any_o worship_n of_o the_o saint_n when_o he_o conclude_v the_o passage_n with_o a_o and_o be_v not_o this_o absurd_a which_o passage_n your_o paris_n edition_n of_o athanasius_n have_v leave_v out_o in_o the_o translation_n all_o the_o defence_n you_o can_v make_v here_o will_v be_v to_o tell_v i_o that_o though_o you_o mistake_v the_o sense_n of_o that_o passage_n yet_o that_o the_o prayer_n to_o the_o virgin_n mary_n so_o full_a and_o so_o direct_a will_v make_v amends_o for_o all_o and_o that_o there_o be_v no_o danger_n of_o mistake_v the_o sense_n of_o it_o this_o plea_n i_o will_v have_v admit_v have_v but_o the_o prayer_n itself_o be_v there_o but_o the_o great_a mischief_n be_v that_o there_o be_v not_o one_o syllable_n of_o the_o prayer_n in_o the_o whole_a tract_n nor_o any_o thing_n either_o near_a or_o like_a to_o it_o and_o be_v not_o you_o sir_n than_o a_o pleasant_a man_n that_o can_v venture_v upon_o these_o thing_n with_o so_o much_o ignorance_n
