suitable_a to_o that_o sovereign_n be_v and_o our_o dependence_n on_o he_o and_o last_o what_o great_a thing_n can_v be_v say_v to_o the_o eternal_a and_o ever_o bless_a trinity_n with_o what_o face_n then_o do_v we_o maintain_v against_o the_o protestant_n that_o we_o do_v not_o pray_v to_o the_o saint_n as_o unto_o god_n nor_o ask_v those_o thing_n of_o they_o which_o ought_v only_o to_o be_v ask_v of_o god_n and_o our_o saviour_n because_o they_o only_o can_v give_v they_o and_o that_o we_o only_o pray_v to_o they_o as_o one_o friend_n desire_v another_o upon_o earth_n and_o with_o what_o justice_n do_v we_o of_o late_o complain_v of_o they_o for_o charge_v we_o with_o these_o practice_n and_o will_v make_v the_o world_n believe_v that_o they_o misrepresent_v we_o when_o it_o be_v plain_a that_o we_o be_v high_o guilty_a of_o they_o and_o be_v ourselves_o indeed_o the_o very_a misrepresenter_n for_o the_o love_n of_o god_n our_o own_o and_o our_o neighbour_n soul_n why_o shall_v we_o any_o long_o palliate_v and_o disguise_v the_o matter_n or_o by_o any_o mean_n defend_v a_o worship_n for_o which_o we_o can_v show_v no_o law_n of_o god_n or_o nature_n and_o which_o by_o our_o own_o confession_n be_v very_o apt_a to_o betray_v man_n into_o these_o heinous_a sin_n of_o superstition_n and_o idolatry_n why_o shall_v we_o reverend_a father_n any_o long_o wrong_v our_o own_o conscience_n and_o deceive_v the_o world_n in_o so_o important_a a_o matter_n mere_o to_o support_v the_o vile_a worldly_a interest_n and_o honour_n of_o a_o church_n that_o be_v afraid_a to_o confess_v herself_o in_o a_o error_n because_o for_o base_a end_n she_o once_o assume_v the_o title_n of_o infallible_a without_o dissemble_v reverend_a father_n will_v it_o not_o be_v more_o

for_o salvation_n to_o pray_v to_o god_n alone_o through_o the_o merit_n mediation_n and_o intercession_n only_o of_o jesus_n christ_n our_o bless_a redeemer_n because_o god_n have_v command_v no_o
