in_o pretence_n any_o more_o than_o provincial_a or_o national_a synod_n not_o general_a council_n wherefore_o the_o interpretation_n of_o such_o synod_n if_o any_o be_v find_v in_o they_o be_v not_o sufficient_a for_o the_o enlighten_v and_o manifest_v the_o sense_n of_o the_o whole_a church_n but_o so_o far_o as_o my_o observation_n in_o the_o perusal_n of_o they_o may_v be_v of_o validity_n i_o

in_o many_o of_o they_o 1580._o the_o doctrine_n of_o trent_n in_o this_o article_n be_v own_v and_o reinforce_v but_o not_o that_o i_o know_v of_o further_o explain_v that_o which_o i_o find_v most_o opposite_a to_o the_o thing_n in_o hand_n amid_o so_o vast_a a_o heap_n of_o decree_n be_v a_o certain_a place_n in_o the_o synod_n of_o cambray_n a_o synod_n hold_v somewhat_o more_o than_o a_o hundred_o year_n ago_o 176._o under_o maximilian_n a_o bergis_n archbishop_n and_o duke_n of_o cambray_n the_o place_n which_o i_o mean_v be_v in_o the_o three_o chapter_n under_o the_o title_n de_fw-fr sanctis_fw-la and_o thus_o it_o run_v let_v the_o prayer_n of_o the_o faithful_a follow_v the_o analogy_n and_o proportion_n of_o faith_n wherefore_o let_v the_o less_o learned_a populace_n be_v admonish_v that_o when_o they_o visit_v the_o memorial_n of_o the_o saint_n and_o implore_v their_o aid_n and_o according_a to_o christian_a custom_n repeat_v the_o lords-prayer_n that_o they_o understand_v that_o they_o direct_v they_o not_o to_o the_o saint_n but_o unto_o god_n the_o saint_n be_v join_v with_o they_o as_o comprecator_n this_o sound_v somewhat_o like_o a_o plea_n from_o the_o roman_a churchman_n to_o the_o populace_n of_o cambray_n if_o care_n be_v take_v that_o they_o be_v instruct_v according_a to_o that_o decree_n of_o their_o synod_n but_o that_o be_v a_o

use_n of_o they_o be_v continual_a further_o two_o thing_n be_v here_o to_o be_v observe_v in_o reference_n to_o this_o decree_n first_o that_o the_o invocation_n of_o saint_n as_o patron_n contradict_v not_o the_o analogy_n of_o the_o roman-faith_n second_o that_o the_o bring_n of_o the_o form_n of_o invocation_n to_o the_o analogy_n of_o faith_n in_o this_o decree_n do_v not_o so_o much_o respect_v the_o prayer_n in_o the_o missal_n and_o breviarie_n as_o the_o lords-prayer_n repeat_v more_o private_o in_o the_o litany_n of_o the_o saint_n etc._n proceed_v we_o next_o to_o the_o roman_a decretal_n in_o the_o new_a decretal_n which_o make_v the_o seven_o book_n in_o the_o body_n of_o their_o canon-law_n i_o can_v find_v nothing_o after_o the_o creed_n of_o trent_n urge_v

that_o do_v not_o well_o attend_v as_o if_o all_o be_v mean_v of_o request_v the_o prayer_n of_o saint_n on_o our_o behalf_n the_o place_n of_o that_o catechism_n 512._o be_v this_o which_o i_o be_o go_v to_o mention_v we_o do_v not_o after_o the_o same_o manner_n pray_v to_o god_n and_o to_o the_o saint_n for_o we_o pray_v to_o god_n that_o he_o will_v give_v good_a thing_n and_o deliver_v we_o from_o evil_a but_o we_o beg_v of_o the_o saint_n because_o they_o be_v gracious_a with_o god_n that_o they_o will_v take_v we_o into_o their_o patronage_n and_o procure_v of_o god_n the_o thing_n we_o need_v hence_o we_o use_v two_o different_a form_n for_o we_o say_v proper_o to_o god_n have_v mercy_n on_o we_o hear_v we_o to_o a_o saint_n pray_v for_o we_o though_o upon_o another_o account_n we_o may_v pray_v to_o the_o saint_n themselves_o to_o have_v mercy_n on_o we_o for_o they_o be_v very_o merciful_a on_o this_o place_n it_o may_v not_o be_v amiss_o if_o i_o bestow_v these_o animadversion_n first_o when_o it_o be_v say_v that_o roman-catholic_n pray_v not_o to_o the_o saint_n for_o the_o bestow_n of_o good_a or_o the_o avert_n or_o remove_v of_o evil_n this_o be_v mean_v of_o absolute_a prayer_n to_o use_v the_o term_n of_o cardinal_n perron_n by_o which_o we_o address_v ourselves_o to_o the_o first_o cause_n who_o be_v god_n not_o of_o relative_n supplication_n by_o which_o they_o call_v on_o the_o saint_n as_o subordinate_a conveyor_n of_o good_a and_o averter_n of_o evil_a so_o in_o the_o hymn_n ave_fw-la mari_n stella_fw-la the_o virgin_n be_v desire_v to_o

they_o mean_v not_o this_o only_a of_o their_o desire_n that_o the_o saint_n will_v use_v their_o interest_n as_o saint_n in_o their_o present_a case_n for_o the_o procure_n of_o god_n immediate_a
