universal_o therefore_o to_o know_v that_o the_o true_a church_n be_v the_o only_a catholic_n in_o three_o respect_n first_o because_o it_o alone_o be_v at_o first_o plant_v by_o the_o apostle_n in_o

not_o as_o if_o the_o object_n be_v better_o and_o among_o other_o saint_n i_o doubt_v not_o but_o the_o least_o have_v favour_n enough_o to_o obtain_v all_o that_o be_v fit_v for_o we_o and_o our_o saviour_n the_o chief_a of_o saint_n more_o than_o all_o be_v not_o his_o goodness_n alone_o unmoved_a by_o the_o petition_n of_o other_o so_o great_a that_o when_o man_n disposition_n be_v not_o

receive_v from_o saint_n or_o rather_o figurative_a motion_n to_o stir_v up_o in_o we_o due_a sorrow_n for_o our_o sin_n and_o a_o great_a honour_n of_o the_o god_n of_o saint_n s._n then_o sir_n it_o seem_v you_o profitable_a think_v the_o devotion_n use_v to_o particular_a saint_n be_v of_o little_a effect_n and_o in_o particular_a that_o of_o become_a slave_n to_o our_o bless_a lady_n s._n no_o such_o thing_n follow_v out_o of_o my_o word_n for_o whatever_o excite_v continue_v or_o make_v our_o unwa●ran●able_a devotion_n more_o servant_n i_o hold_v of_o great_a effect_n and_o to_o that_o end_n well_o practise_v it_o indeed_o concerning_o make_v ourselves_o slave_n to_o any_o saint_n i_o very_o much_o doubt_v for_o a_o slave_n be_v he_o who_o service_n be_v only_o profitable_a to_o his_o master_n and_o nothing_o to_o himself_o now_o our_o service_n be_v no_o way_n profitable_a to_o any_o saint_n but_o much_o to_o ourselves_o again_o our_o will_n be_v so_o build_v by_o almighty_a god_n as_o to_o be_v total_o subject_a to_o he_o because_o he_o be_v all-goodness_n and_o ●e_z only_o can_v move_v our_o soul_n perfect_o and_o satify_v it_o wherefore_o we_o be_v bo●n_a his_o slave_n and_o according_a to_o nature_n we_o conform_v ourselves_o in_o bend_v our_o whole_a will_n to_o he_o but_o i_o fear_v i_o to_o do_v the_o like_o to_o any_o creature_n be_v to_o wrong_v our_o creation_n and_o attribute_v that_o homage_n which_o be_v due_a to_o god_n alone_o that_o be_v to_o be_v sole_a director_n of_o our_o soul_n to_o a_o creature_n but_o as_o for_o those_o who_o use_v it_o i_o presume_v either_o they_o understand_v not_o so_o much_o for_o i_o hear_v also_o they_o be_v not_o learned_a or_o mean_v it_o in_o some_o improper_a sense_n only_o i_o will_v have_v you_o advertise_v that_o these_o extravagant_a devotion_n ordinary_o argue_v either_o vanity_n or_o interest_n for_o which_o private_a man_n run_v private_a path_n and_o desire_v to_o carry_v disciple_n after_o they_o let_v we_o follow_v the_o tread_a path_n of_o our_o forefather_n yet_o one_o thing_n will_v i_o add_v that_o we_o have_v not_o by_o jesus_n christ_n or_o his_o church_n leave_v we_o any_o external_a action_n with_o promise_n of_o grace_n and_o reward_n for_o the_o deed_n do_v but_o only_o the_o sacrament_n which_o be_v necessary_a more_o because_o they_o be_v profession_n of_o our_o faith_n and_o charity_n and_o certain_a initiation_n or_o association_n to_o christ_n church_n in_o some_o degree_n whence_o the_o very_a external_a action_n proceed_v from_o internal_a grace_n when_o do_v as_o it_o ought_v than_o that_o there_o be_v any_o connexion_n betwixt_o those_o external_a suspect_v action_n and_o merit_n by_o christ_n voluntary_a conjunction_n of_o they_o and_o therefore_o all_o those_o devotion_n which_o promise_v particular_a effect_n or_o reward_n to_o the_o say_n of_o certain_a prayer_n pretend_v christ_n special_a grant_n to_o some_o saint_n as_o they_o can_v be_v easy_o convince_v of_o superstition_n because_o god_n can_v if_o he_o please_v do_v such_o thing_n so_o they_o be_v not_o easy_o to_o be_v credit_v without_o manifest_a miraculous_a proof_n at_o least_o of_o the_o good_a life_n of_o the_o saint_n who_o begin_v such_o a_o devotion_n and_o that_o certain_o it_o come_v from_o he_o because_o it_o be_v not_o according_a to_o the_o spirit_n which_o christ_n have_v leave_v to_o his_o church_n which_o be_v to_o make_v we_o adorer_n in_o spirit_n and_o truth_n and_o confidence_n therefore_o christian_n ought_v to_o be_v draw_v from_o put_v their_o confidence_n in_o such_o thing_n to_o place_v their_o trust_n in_o christ_n and_o walk_v towards_o he_o in_o the_o know_a path_n of_o charity_n and_o good_a work_n s._n sir_n you_o forget_v my_o doubt_n how_o saint_n hear_v our_o prayer_n since_o they_o have_v no_o ear_n and_o yet_o i_o have_v hear_v wise_a man_n than_o myself_o stumble_v at_o it_o m._n i_o think_v you_o have_v be_v

in_o that_o speech_n have_v the_o meaning_n of_o grant_v or_o according_a to_o our_o petition_n so_o that_o your_o difficulty_n must_v be_v how_o they_o know_v what_o we_o ask_v of_o they_o which_o be_v with_o their_o mind_n or_o understanding_n as_o man_n know_v science_n and_o the_o astronomer_n sit_v in_o his_o study_n know_v the_o situation_n aspect_n and_o course_n of_o the_o star_n which_o

the_o faithful_a first_o for_o memory_n sake_n memory_n for_o as_o oft_o as_o we_o see_v picture_n so_o oft_o we_o remember_v the_o thing_n paint_v and_o whether_o we_o have_v need_n of_o often_o
