A53364	A discourse of the unlawfulness of praying to saints and angels being a full answer to a letter of Sabran the Jesuite : wherein the practice of the Church of Rome, in praying to saints and angels is plainly proved to be contrary to the doctrine of Christ and the presented authority by him produc'd, to be either forged or impertinent / by Titus Oates, a presbyter of the Church of England.

endue_v both_o in_o their_o life_n and_o at_o their_o death_n and_o that_o those_o that_o do_v meet_v together_o to_o commemorate_v these_o martyr_n do_v pray_v for_o those_o gift_n and_o grace_n
