A42574 The primitive fathers no papists in answer to the Vindication of the Nubes testium : to which is added an historical discourse concerning invocation of saints, in answer to the challenge of F. Sabran the Jesuit, wherein is shewn that invocation of saints was so far from being the practice, that it was expresly [sic] against the doctrine of the primitive fathers. Gee, Edward, 1657-1730. 1688 (1688) Wing G459; ESTC R18594 102,715 146

think_v i_o have_v teach_v the_o compiler_n a_o little_a more_o care_n and_o circumspection_n when_o he_o meddle_v with_o chronology-matter_n in_o my_o answer_n to_o his_o nubes_fw-la testium_fw-la

do_v not_o censure_v invocation_n of_o saint_n as_o a_o error_n and_o there_o be_v a_o very_a good_a reason_n for_o it_o and_o that_o be_v because_o there_o be_v no_o such_o thing_n as_o invocation_n of_o saint_n practise_v in_o the_o church_n when_o that_o council_n be_v hold_v nor_o of_o above_o two_o hundred_o year_n after_o but_o some_o man_n love_v to_o make_v wise_a observation_n though_o

more_o that_o i_o can_v offer_v the_o first_o difference_n 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 as_o be_v apparent_a from_o hundred_o of_o place_n in_o their_o missall_n breviaries_n and_o office_n whereas_o the_o primitive_a father_n of_o the_o end_n of_o the_o four_o and_o five_o century_n do_v not_o invocate_v or_o make_v prayer_n to_o the_o saint_n but_o mere_o such_o address_n or_o request_n as_o be_v make_v from_o one_o friend_n to_o another_o and_o this_o i_o do_v prove_v out_o of_o their_o own_o mouth_n who_o make_v prayer_n to_o be_v peculiar_a to_o god_n alone_o and_o therefore_o will_v not_o contradict_v their_o own_o doctrine_n by_o their_o own_o practice_n which_o these_o father_n have_v inevitable_o do_v have_v they_o reserve_v prayer_n as_o proper_a to_o god_n alone_o and_o yet_o offer_v prayer_n or_o invocation_n to_o the_o saint_n a_o second_o difference_n be_v that_o whereas_o those_o request_n be_v make_v at_o the_o memory_n of_o those_o martyr_n to_o who_o they_o be_v present_v and_o who_o be_v believe_v to_o be_v present_a there_o though_o invisible_o at_o that_o time_n the_o invocation_n and_o prayer_n to_o the_o saint_n in_o the_o present_a church_n of_o rome_n be_v make_v not_o only_o in_o every_o place_n but_o in_o ten_o thousand_o different_a and_o most_o distant_a place_n to_o such_o or_o such_o a_o particular_a saint_n which_o be_v virtual_o to_o ascribe_v to_o they_o a_o omnipresence_n a_o attribute_n that_o no_o finite_a be_v be_v capable_a of_o the_o three_o difference_n be_v that_o those_o request_n and_o interpellation_n to_o the_o martyr_n be_v neither_o command_v by_o the_o primitive_a church_n authorize_v by_o her_o general_n or_o provincial_a or_o any_o other_o council_n nor_o use_v in_o the_o public_a office_n of_o the_o church_n whereas_o on_o the_o contrary_a the_o invocation_n and_o prayer_n to_o saint_n in_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n be_v enjoin_v by_o the_o roman_a church_n be_v authorize_v by_o her_o last_o general_n council_n of_o trent_n and_o use_v not_o only_o in_o the_o public_a office_n of_o their_o church_n but_o in_o the_o most_o solemn_a part_n of_o their_o office_n in_o the_o litany_n of_o the_o church_n i_o can_v add_v more_o but_o these_o be_v enough_o to_o show_v the_o vast_a difference_n betwixt_o what_o be_v now_o practise_v in_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n towards_o the_o saint_n and_o what_o be_v do_v to_o they_o at_o the_o latter_a end_n of_o the_o four_o and_o in_o the_o five_o

point_n about_o relic_n that_o the_o primitive_a father_n be_v no_o papist_n but_o protestant_n since_o they_o do_v declare_v against_o the_o worship_n of_o relic_n as_o much_o as_o the_o church_n of_o england_n do_v and_o do_v detest_v the_o worship_v of_o they_o as_o much_o as_o we_o can_v there_o be_v one_o great_a mistake_n that_o the_o compiler_n must_v be_v rectify_v in_o before_o i_o leave_v this_o chapter_n about_o relic_n and_o that_o be_v from_o the_o community_n of_o action_n and_o expression_n to_o gather_v that_o the_o same_o thing_n be_v do_v by_o some_o of_o the_o father_n towards_o the_o relic_n that_o be_v do_v now_o in_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n he_o can_v be_v ignorant_a that_o most_o of_o the_o external_n expression_n of_o respect_n be_v common_a to_o civil_a and_o religious_a worship_n and_o yet_o that_o no_o body_n be_v so_o wild_a as_o to_o conclude_v from_o thence_o that_o civil_a and_o religious_a worship_n be_v the_o same_o thing_n when_o abraham_n bow_v himself_o to_o the_o ground_n before_o the_o child_n of_o heth_n he_o use_v the_o very_a same_o gesture_n that_o he_o be_v wont_a to_o make_v use_n of_o in_o his_o worship_n of_o god_n and_o yet_o i_o hope_v our_o compiler_n will_v not_o have_v it_o conclude_v from_o the_o same_o gesture_n use_v upon_o both_o those_o occasion_n either_o that_o abraham_n when_o he_o bow_v to_o the_o child_n of_o heth_n pay_v religious_a worship_n unto_o they_o or_o that_o he_o use_v the_o same_o gesture_n in_o the_o service_n of_o god_n pay_v only_o a_o civil_a worship_n unto_o him._n and_o yet_o this_o be_v all_o that_o he_o build_v upon_o when_o he_o be_v so_o earnest_a about_o the_o thing_n and_o will_v confound_v civil_a and_o religious_a worship_n by_o show_v what_o no_o body_n deny_v that_o several_a of_o the_o outward_a expression_n of_o civil_a and_o religious_a worship_n be_v the_o same_o whereas_o notwithstanding_o the_o outward_a gesture_n be_v the_o same_o we_o do_v easy_o know_v religious_a from_o civil_a worship_n by_o the_o object_n to_o who_o it_o be_v pay_v and_o by_o the_o profession_n of_o they_o who_o pay_v it_o and_o by_o this_o we_o be_v able_a to_o decide_v and_o resolve_v that_o scruple_n which_o the_o compiler_n will_v fain_o raise_v about_o the_o matter_n of_o relic_n the_o primitive_a father_n do_v declare_v that_o they_o be_v against_o give_v any_o religious_a worship_n to_o relic_n and_o therefore_o when_o we_o meet_v with_o any_o extraordinary_a expression_n or_o action_n among_o they_o which_o may_v otherwise_o appear_v to_o be_v religious_a we_o be_v oblige_v to_o look_v upon_o they_o only_o as_o expression_n of_o civil_a worship_n by_o reason_n of_o the_o declaration_n so_o often_o make_v by_o they_o that_o they_o do_v not_o worship_v relic_n but_o for_o the_o same_o gesture_n or_o action_n use_v by_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n towards_o the_o relic_n or_o body_n of_o the_o saint_n we_o be_v oblige_v upon_o the_o very_a same_o reason_n to_o look_v upon_o they_o as_o expression_n of_o a_o religious_a worship_n or_o adoration_n since_o she_o have_v prevent_v our_o take_v they_o in_o the_o other_o sense_n by_o declare_v and_o

of_o rome_n i_o have_v already_o abundant_o clear_v from_o the_o profession_n make_v about_o relic_n by_o the_o primitive_a father_n and_o by_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n in_o her_o council_n of_o

matter_n about_o the_o worship_n of_o relic_n because_o he_o take_v so_o much_o pain_n to_o disguise_n and_o obscure_v it_o and_o by_o confound_v civil_a and_o religious_a worship_n to_o bear_v the_o

the_o belief_n of_o purgatory_n in_o his_o church_n to_o this_o purpose_n he_o tell_v we_o that_o the_o suppose_v those_o soul_n for_o which_o the_o father_n pray_v to_o be_v in_o a_o state_n of_o
