the_o church_n have_v very_o great_a reason_n to_o address_v her_o prayer_n to_o god_n the_o only_a true_a cause_n but_o through_o christ_n who_o be_v the_o occasional_a and_o distributive_a cause_n of_o the_o good_a thing_n which_o we_o pray_v for_o for_o though_o sinner_n never_o receive_v grace_n but_o when_o christ_n pray_v for_o they_o by_o his_o desire_n either_o actual_a or_o habitual_a

ultimate_o refer_v to_o he_o alone_o nevertheless_o when_o we_o apply_v ourselves_o to_o the_o true_a and_o general_a cause_n it_o be_v the_o same_o thing_n as_o if_o we_o do_v it_o to_o the_o

so_o far_o from_o be_v jealous_a of_o the_o honour_n which_o we_o give_v to_o god_n that_o he_o himself_o as_o man_n always_o acknowledge_v his_o impotence_n and_o subordination_n and_o will_v never_o hear_v those_o who_o like_o the_o eutychian_o look_v upon_o his_o humane_a nature_n as_o transform_v into_o the_o divine_a and_o so_o take_v from_o he_o the_o quality_n of_o advocate_n mediator_n head_n of_o the_o church_n and_o high_a priest_n of_o the_o true_a good_n thus_o we_o see_v on_o one_o side_n that_o to_o make_v our_o prayer_n effectual_a it_o be_v not_o absolute_o necessary_a that_o we_o shall_v know_v the_o truth_n which_o i_o have_v here_o explain_v so_o precise_o and_o distinct_o and_o on_o the_o other_o that_o the_o church_n proceed_v agree_v perfect_o with_o the_o

nevertheless_o the_o sense_n of_o the_o church_n be_v that_o they_o know_v our_o necessity_n when_o we_o call_v upon_o they_o and_o that_o be_v in_o favour_n with_o god_n and_o unite_v to_o christ_n their_o head_n they_o may_v by_o their_o prayer_n and_o desire_n solicit_v he_o to_o deliver_v we_o from_o our_o misery_n nay_o it_o seem_v to_o be_v beyond_o dispute_n from_o the_o example_n of_o

their_o prayer_n be_v beneficial_a to_o their_o friend_n i_o see_v no_o sufficient_a reason_n to_o deny_v the_o saint_n in_o heaven_n this_o power_n only_o we_o must_v observe_v that_o they_o be_v not_o occasional_a cause_n of_o inward_a grace_n for_o this_o power_n be_v give_v to_o christ_n alone_o as_o the_o architect_n of_o the_o eternal_a temple_n the_o head_n of_o the_o church_n the_o necessary_a mediator_n in_o a_o word_n as_o the_o particular_a or_o distributive_a cause_n of_o the_o true_a good_n vi_o so_o then_o we_o may_v pray_v to_o the_o bless_a virgin_n to_o angel_n and_o
