xxxiv_o of_o pray_v to_o saint_n 1._o may_v we_o not_o pray_v also_o to_o god_n by_o the_o mediation_n of_o other_o to_o grant_v we_o his_o divine_a assistance_n yes_o and_o especial_o by_o the_o saint_n and_o angel_n for_o the_o prayer_n of_o the_o bless_a in_o heaven_n be_v afficacious_a with_o almighty_a god_n and_o by_o pray_v to_o they_o we_o get_v they_o to_o pray_v for_o us._n 2._o be_v it_o lawful_a then_o to_o pray_v to_o saint_n yes_o but_o we_o must_v not_o do_v it_o in_o the_o same_o manner_n as_o we_o use_v to_o pray_v to_o god_n for_o we_o pray_v to_o god_n as_o to_o our_o sovereign_a lord_n that_o he_o will_v have_v mercy_n upon_o we_o and_o give_v we_o his_o grace_n but_o the_o saint_n can_v neither_o forgive_v we_o our_o sin_n nor_o confer_v grace_n upon_o we_o and_o to_o demand_v it_o of_o they_o be_v to_o wrong_v our_o creator_n and_o to_o attribute_v that_o homage_n to_o a_o creature_n which_o be_v due_a to_o god_n alone_o but_o our_o prayer_n to_o they_o be_v that_o they_o will_v pray_v to_o god_n for_o we_o as_o be_v most_o near_o unite_v to_o his_o divine_a majesty_n by_o charity_n and_o eternal_a bliss_n which_o kind_n of_o prayer_n have_v always_o be_v practise_v in_o the_o church_n for_o if_o we_o may_v desire_v man_n here_o upon_o earth_n to_o pray_v for_o we_o much_o more_o may_v we_o desire_v the_o saint_n in_o heaven_n to_o do_v it_o who_o be_v confirm_v in_o charity_n can_v be_v less_o willing_a to_o assist_v we_o and_o be_v more_o perfect_o unite_v to_o god_n can_v choose_v but_o have_v as_o much_o power_n to_o obtain_v from_o he_o what_o they_o demand_v in_o our_o behalf_n nether_a can_v they_o be_v ignorant_a of_o our_o misery_n or_o of_o their_o own_o favour_n with_o almighty_a god_n 3._o may_v we_o pray_v to_o saint_n in_o the_o same_o manner_n as_o to_o our_o bless_a saviour_n no_o for_o first_o our_o bless_a saviour_n be_v god_n as_o well_o as_o man_n second_o he_o only_o be_v the_o immediate_a intercessor_n betwixt_o god_n and_o we_o who_o have_v power_n and_o authority_n of_o himself_o to_o intercede_v for_o we_o whereas_o the_o saint_n do_v intercede_v only_o by_o the_o force_n of_o his_o intercession_n three_o he_o be_v the_o only_a universal_a mediator_n betwixt_o god_n and_o we_o for_o he_o only_o redeem_v we_o and_o so_o he_o only_o have_v power_n to_o obtain_v what_o he_o please_v for_o all_o the_o world_n by_o virtue_n of_o his_o own_o infinite_a dignity_n and_o proper_a merit_n whereas_o the_o saint_n can_v obtain_v nothing_o but_o only_o through_o his_o merit_n four_o he_o be_v the_o only_a person_n upon_o who_o consideration_n all_o grace_n be_v grant_v yet_o all_o these_o prerogative_n do_v not_o hinder_v but_o that_o we_o may_v pray_v to_o the_o saint_n in_o a_o inferior_a way_n and_o that_o they_o also_o may_v pray_v for_o we_o without_o do_v any_o wrong_n to_o our_o bless_a saviour_n sovereign_a mediation_n which_o be_v evident_a by_o the_o like_a example_n in_o prince_n here_o upon_o earth_n for_o a_o king_n may_v love_v one_o of_o his_o favourite_n so_o much_o as_o that_o he_o may_v resolve_v not_o to_o grant_v any_o grace_n but_o through_o his_o consideration_n yet_o this_o do_v not_o hinder_v but_o that_o one_o may_v employ_v other_o person_n towards_o this_o favourite_n to_o obtain_v of_o the_o king_n the_o grace_n which_o they_o desire_v and_o also_o that_o one_o may_v demand_v a_o thing_n from_o the_o king_n himself_o under_o the_o favour_n and_o protection_n of_o his_o favourite_n in_o the_o same_o manner_n although_o almighty_a god_n do_v not_o grant_v any_o grace_n but_o by_o the_o merit_n of_o jesus_n christ_n yet_o this_o do_v not_o hinder_v but_o that_o the_o saint_n may_v demand_v the_o same_o for_o we_o through_o themerit_n of_o jesus_n christ_n since_o we_o do_v the_o like_a daily_o for_o one_o another_o and_o also_o that_o we_o may_v desire_v they_o to_o intercede_v for_o we_o to_o jesus_n christ_n himself_o 4._o how_o can_v the_o saint_n hear_v our_o prayer_n you_o must_v not_o think_v that_o they_o hear_v with_o ear_n that_o be_v that_o they_o have_v this_o sensible_a passion_n which_o we_o call_v hear_v but_o by_o hear_v in_o this_o question_n be_v understand_v know_v and_o there_o can_v be_v no_o doubt_n but_o that_o the_o saint_n may_v know_v all_o thing_n that_o concern_v they_o since_o that_o they_o know_v god_n in_o who_o all_o thing_n be_v contain_v and_o who_o be_v the_o doer_n of_o all_o thing_n that_o be_v do_v beside_o the_o scripture_n assure_v we_o that_o angel_n know_v what_o man_n do_v here_o upon_o earth_n and_o the_o same_o scripture_n tell_v we_o also_o that_o the_o saint_n in_o heaven_n be_v like_o angel_n 5._o what_o obligation_n have_v we_o to_o pray_v to_o angel_n and_o saint_n to_o answer_v your_o question_n you_o must_v know_v that_o angel_n and_o saint_n be_v in_o perfect_a bliss_n and_o happiness_n whether_o we_o pray_v to_o they_o or_o no_o from_o whence_o you_o will_v perceive_v that_o all_o service_n and_o honour_n do_v to_o saint_n by_o we_o redound_v rather_o to_o our_o own_o profit_n then_o to_o they_o and_o therefore_o although_o honour_n in_o itself_o be_v due_a unto_o they_o yet_o they_o be_v then_o best_o honour_v when_o we_o ourselves_o do_v profit_n by_o it_o and_o grow_v better_o by_o honour_v they_o for_o this_o be_v even_o to_o they_o a_o increase_n of_o a_o accidental_a kind_n of_o glory_n fromwhence_a it_o follow_v that_o the_o keep_n of_o holy_a day_n build_v church_n and_o set_v up_o altar_n to_o god_n in_o memory_n of_o saint_n be_v to_o be_v moderate_v according_a to_o the_o utility_n which_o redound_v to_o the_o church_n by_o it_o and_o in_o proportion_n the_o prayer_n or_o what_o sort_n of_o devotion_n soever_o be_v use_v in_o private_a to_o their_o honour_n be_v to_o be_v govern_v by_o the_o same_o principle_n now_o the_o utility_n redound_v to_o the_o church_n be_v first_o that_o whereas_o humane_a nature_n be_v easy_o weary_a of_o be_v carry_v above_o itself_o by_o prayer_n and_o other_o spiritual_a exercise_n the_o weariness_n of_o devotion_n be_v in_o part_n holpen_v by_o this_o holy_a variety_n second_o the_o memory_n of_o god_n his_o goodness_n and_o benefit_n towards_o mankind_n be_v make_v familiar_a unto_o we_o by_o make_v often_o commemoration_n of_o his_o saint_n upon_o who_o he_o bestow_v his_o grace_n most_o plentiful_o and_o who_o be_v many_o time_n the_o instrument_n he_o use_v to_o confer_v many_o singular_a benefit_n upon_o his_o whole_a church_n again_o whereas_o man_n humour_n and_o
