to_o put_v confidence_n in_o she_o and_o to_o call_v upon_o she_o for_o the_o present_a occasion_n of_o their_o book_n of_o devotion_n to_o direct_v they_o how_o to_o pray_v to_o she_o and_o magnify_v

any_o thing_n of_o all_o this_o be_v leave_v upon_o record_n in_o the_o write_n of_o the_o evangelist_n and_o apostle_n from_o who_o those_o man_n pretend_v to_o derive_v their_o religion_n who_o

the_o holy_a scripture_n bear_v against_o such_o practice_n as_o these_o agreeable_o to_o that_o precept_n of_o both_o testament_n thou_o shall_v worship_v the_o lord_n thy_o god_n and_o he_o only_o shall_v thou_o serve_v and_o indeed_o our_o reason_n to_o keep_v at_o a_o distance_n from_o this_o worship_n of_o the_o b._n virgin_n and_o the_o saint_n be_v so_o obvious_a and_o common_o know_v that_o i_o shall_v not_o make_v it_o a_o business_n by_o itself_o to_o represent_v they_o but_o these_o two_o thing_n i_o shall_v consider_v as_o well_o as_o i_o can_v 1._o the_o plausible_a

be_v say_v to_o it_o already_o the_o latter_a be_v what_o i_o chief_o design_n §._o 2._o in_o pursuance_n of_o the_o first_o thing_n propound_v i_o shall_v particular_o observe_v how_o monsieur_n de_fw-fr meaux_n have_v expound_v these_o matter_n under_o the_o head_n of_o religious_a worship_n of_o invocation_n of_o saint_n and_o give_v honour_n to_o image_n and_o relic_n but_o i_o shall_v begin_v with_o the_o two_o latter_a because_o he_o expound_v these_o particular_o and_o then_o i_o shall_v consider_v the_o general_a defence_n he_o make_v for_o all_o the_o religious_a worship_n they_o give_v to_o the_o b._n virgin_n and_o to_o the_o saint_n the_o worship_n of_o invocation_n be_v the_o foundation_n of_o a_o great_a many_o other_o thing_n do_v in_o her_o service_n for_o

her_o shrine_n and_o build_v oratory_n and_o chapel_n for_o her_o especial_a service_n and_o indeed_o if_o she_o as_o well_o as_o god_n be_v to_o be_v worship_v with_o prayer_n and_o hymn_n it_o be_v but_o reasonable_a that_o she_o shall_v have_v her_o holy_a place_n for_o such_o service_n as_o well_o as_o god_n and_o yet_o st._n 11._o cont._n maxim_n arian_n lib._n 1._o c._n 11._o austin_n
