before_o they_o be_v approve_v by_o the_o church_n because_o ordinary_o they_o be_v but_o illusion_n of_o melancholy_a person_n who_o in_o their_o prayer_n have_v conceit_v such_o dream_n and_o

8._o to_o return_v now_o to_o our_o former_a course_n in_o his_o three_o paragraph_n he_o cite_v the_o 63_o canon_n of_o the_o council_n of_o nice_a the_o which_o though_o it_o be_v know_v to_o be_v

upon_o private_a day_n but_o it_o be_v a_o tedious_a thing_n to_o walk_v in_o the_o dark_a and_o to_o handle_v a_o question_n whereof_o the_o root_n be_v not_o understand_v wherefore_o i_o shall_v to_o my_o power_n lie_v down_o the_o ground_n of_o the_o question_n out_o of_o which_o authority_n may_v be_v the_o better_o understand_v 9_o there_o be_v therefore_o two_o question_n to_o be_v display_v the_o one_o whereon_o rely_n the_o efficacy_n of_o prayer_n the_o second_o to_o what_o it_o be_v efficacious_a first_o therefore_o we_o must_v note_v that_o this_o word_n prayer_n have_v two_o signification_n in_o the_o one_o it_o be_v nothing_o but_o the_o praise_n of_o god_n in_o the_o other_o it_o signify_v the_o beg_a something_o of_o god_n prayer_n in_o the_o first_o signification_n chief_o consist_v in_o the_o act_n of_o the_o theological_a virtue_n by_o faith_n and_o the_o quality_n consequert_v to_o faith_n we_o acknowledge_v and_o admire_v the_o attribute_n of_o god_n and_o the_o perfection_n of_o his_o work_n &_o so_o break_v out_o into_o those_o motion_n which_o follow_v such_o acts._n by_o hope_n and_o charity_n we_o love_v Ã nd_v desire_n god_n as_o our_o proper_a good_a whether_o by_o his_o essence_n or_o by_o and_o his_o creature_n out_o of_o this_o follow_v that_o we_o ask_v he_o what_o we_o apprehend_v as_o necessary_a to_o we_o in_o which_o consist_v that_o prayer_n which_o be_v proper_o call_v petition_n now_o let_v we_o consider_v god_n as_o we_o will_v consider_v a_o wise_a man_n and_o we_o shall_v see_v that_o if_o we_o beg_v any_o thing_n of_o a_o wise_a man_n he_o consider_v two_o thing_n one_o be_v whether_o the_o petition_n be_v convenient_a for_o itself_o which_o if_o he_o find_v without_o difficulty_n he_o grant_v it_o the_o other_o be_v that_o though_o it_o be_v not_o convenient_a in_o itself_o yet_o he_o consider_v whether_o the_o friendship_n of_o the_o person_n who_o beg_v it_o make_v it_o convenient_a to_o be_v do_v or_o no_o and_o if_o he_o find_v it_o do_v he_o grant_v the_o request_n so_o then_o likewise_o must_v we_o esteem_v of_o god_n that_o he_o do_v what_o be_v beg_v of_o he_o because_o of_o itself_o it_o be_v fit_v to_o do_v it_o even_o if_o there_o have_v be_v no_o prayer_n at_o other_o time_n it_o be_v not_o good_a unless_o it_o have_v be_v beg_v further_o in_o the_o beggar_n we_o find_v two_o consideration_n one_o of_o the_o person_n the_o other_o of_o the_o beg_n this_o late_a consideration_n be_v not_o considerable_a before_o god_n more_o than_o as_o it_o make_v the_o person_n more_o acceptable_a for_o whosoever_o beg_v of_o god_n address_v himself_o to_o god_n and_o by_o that_o exercise_v some_o virtue_n for_o which_o he_o come_v to_o be_v more_o acceptable_a but_o then_o the_o beg_n obtain_v because_o of_o the_o worth_n of_o the_o person_n abstract_v from_o this_o and_o beg_v be_v but_o the_o affection_n to_o a_o create_a thing_n and_o so_o have_v more_o imperfection_n than_o perfection_n in_o it_o unless_o it_o be_v the_o desire_n of_o what_o be_v command_v we_o as_o when_o it_o be_v say_v quaerite_fw-la reg_n num_fw-la dei_fw-la and_o again_o siquis_fw-la

depend_v of_o the_o principle_n long_o since_o explicate_v that_o god_n under_o forfeit_n of_o his_o wisdom_n and_o goodness_n be_v bind_v to_o do_v what_o be_v best_a for_o his_o creature_n and_o nothing_o else_o wherefore_o what_o he_o do_v be_v either_o therefore_o best_o because_o beg_v or_o of_o itself_o therefore_o on_o one_o of_o these_o motive_n to_o be_v grant_v now_o if_o it_o be_v

be_v best_o and_o so_o you_o have_v the_o first_o point_n clear_v that_o charity_n and_o only_a charity_n on_o the_o peggars_n part_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o the_o effect_n 11._o the_o other_o point_n be_v what_o god_n grant_v in_o respect_n of_o our_o prayer_n that_o be_v to_o what_o our_o prayer_n be_v efficacious_a in_o which_o the_o first_o proposition_n be_v that_o god_n grant_v nothing_o

so_o that_o whether_o the_o effect_n be_v grant_v or_o not_o the_o good_a of_o pray_v never_o fail_v he_o who_o pray_v a_o three_o proposition_n be_v that_o all_o thing_n consider_v no_o extrinsical_a

whatsoever_o it_o be_v and_o therefore_o by_o a_o perfect_a soul_n none_o of_o those_o thing_n be_v to_o be_v absolute_o pray_v for_o or_o desire_v but_o only_o under_o the_o good_a will_n and_o provideoce_fw-mi of_o god_n this_o be_v clear_a also_o to_o all_o those_o who_o understand_v the_o nature_n of_o good_a to_o be_v respective_a to_o he_o who_o desire_v it_o and_o that_o it_o signify_v

procure_v it_o and_o be_v solicitous_a of_o it_o but_o as_o his_o beatitude_n be_v but_o the_o end_n of_o he_o so_o the_o beatitude_n

alone_o know_v but_o it_o seem_v rational_a to_o think_v that_o a_o very_a private_a good_n can_v exact_v they_o but_o only_o such_o which_o either_o single_o or_o in_o multitude_n concur_v to_o a_o

for_o this_o be_v the_o main_a point_n of_o nature_n to_o bring_v man_n to_o bliss_n conformable_o to_o his_o nature_n that_o be_v by_o the_o way_n of_o persuasion_n what_o be_v most_o conformable_a

truth_n concern_v man_n nature_n the_o follow_a principle_n will_v be_v more_o close_o to_o our_o subject_n 8._o the_o six_o therefore_o be_v that_o a_o sin_n be_v a_o action_n against_o reason_n that_o be_v against_o the_o nature_n of_o man_n and_o therefore_o hurtful_a to_o he_o first_o in_o soul_n the_o which_o it_o most_o principal_o corrupt_v next_o in_o body_n both_o according_a to_o his_o internal_a faculty_n and_o many_o time_n also_o in_o his_o external_a and_o vegetative_a quality_n three_o if_o it_o be_v a_o external_a act_n it_o prejudices_fw-la mankind_n that_o be_v his_o

to_o satisfaction_n towards_o himself_o which_o consist_v in_o the_o reparation_n of_o the_o damage_n do_v to_o himself_o towards_o the_o church_n and_o towards_o the_o civil_a government_n as_o for_o the_o damage_n of_o his_o soul_n if_o he_o repair_v they_o not_o with_o penance_n and_o good_a work_n he_o go_v through_o the_o violence_n of_o his_o affection_n sinful_a into_o the_o next_o world_n

the_o other_o damage_n to_o himself_o or_o his_o neighbour_n unless_o he_o have_v the_o will_n to_o repair_v they_o he_o do_v not_o quit_v the_o sin_n as_o be_v manifest_a in_o the_o case_n of_o

exact_v of_o he_o 10._o the_o eight_o principle_n be_v that_o god_n justice_n may_v be_v take_v either_o for_o the_o virtue_n of_o justice_n in_o himself_o or_o for_o the_o effect_n it_o have_v in_o

charity_n in_o himself_o and_o become_v more_o holy_a than_o he_o be_v before_o and_o therefore_o a_o great_a and_o better_a member_n of_o god_n church_n and_o because_o we_o know_v that_o all_o thing_n as_o the_o apostle_n teach_v be_v make_v for_o the_o elect_n and_o do_v cooperate_v to_o their_o good_a we_o know_v that_o they_o be_v more_o make_v and_o do_v more_o cooperate_v to_o the_o

friend_n of_o the_o just_a man_n fare_v better_a because_o he_o be_v just_a and_o and_o so_o the_o just_a man_n by_o be_v just_a merit_n not_o only_o for_o his_o own_o person_n but_o also_o for_o
