so_o that_o it_o seem_v impossible_a that_o they_o shall_v not_o favour_v they_o why_o may_v we_o not_o presume_v that_o god_n be_v in_o a_o certain_a manner_n bind_v to_o do_v we_o favour_n have_v receive_v of_o we_o a_o gift_n so_o great_a and_o precious_a as_o we_o offer_v he_o in_o the_o mass_n and_o if_o the_o proverb_n that_o gift_n break_v rock_n be_v true_a as_o experience_n show_v it_o

pious_a consideration_n of_o a_o grave_n and_o learned_a divine_a of_o our_o age_n most_o true_a &_o conformable_a both_o unto_o theology_n &_o holy_a scripture_n this_o be_v that_o christ_n our_o lord_n now_o in_o heaven_n though_o he_o be_v not_o in_o the_o state_n to_o merit_v or_o satisfy_v for_o we_o a_o new_a yet_o he_o be_v in_o a_o state_n where_o he_o may_v pray_v and_o make_v intercession_n for_o man_n as_o in_o verity_n he_o do_v 2._o according_a as_o the_o apostle_n do_v witness_v that_o he_o do_v plead_v for_o we_o 6._o and_o at_o the_o judgement_n seat_n of_o god_n be_v our_o solicitor_n and_o as_o s._n john_n say_v 2._o we_o have_v a_o advocate_n unto_o god_n the_o father_n christ_n jesus_n the_o iust._n hereupon_o this_o learned_a author_n say_v that_o it_o be_v a_o thing_n very_o credible_a &_o likely_a that_o christ_n our_o lord_n as_o often_o as_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o the_o mass_n be_v offer_v do_v intercede_v and_o pray_v for_o they_o that_o offer_v it_o and_o also_o for_o they_o for_o who_o it_o be_v offer_v a_o consideration_n most_o true_a for_o see_v it_o be_v most_o certain_a that_o christ_n our_o lord_n do_v actual_o and_o in_o truth_n exercise_v the_o office_n of_o our_o priest_n and_o advocate_n see_v also_o that_o the_o proper_a office_n of_o priest_n be_v to_o pray_v &_o intercede_v for_o the_o people_n we_o may_v rest_v in_o this_o persuasion_n without_o any_o doubt_n that_o our_o lord_n be_v in_o all_o his_o action_n most_o perfect_a will_v complet_o perform_v this_o office_n not_o only_o by_o offer_v the_o sacrifice_n particular_o for_o they_o for_o who_o it_o be_v offer_v whereof_o there_o be_v no_o question_n but_o also_o by_o pray_v &_o intercede_v actual_o for_o they_o that_o they_o may_v obtain_v what_o they_o request_v and_o desire_n if_o the_o same_o agree_v with_o their_o salvation_n and_o god_n glory_n and_o it_o may_v seem_v that_o the_o apostle_n s_o paul_n in_o his_o epistle_n to_o the_o hebrew_n do_v signify_v or_o insinuate_v this_o truth_n where_o treat_v of_o the_o eternal_a priesthood_n of_o christ_n he_o say_v that_o he_o can_v save_v for_o ever_o they_o that_o by_o he_o have_v access_n unto_o god_n who_o live_v ever_o to_o intercede_v and_o plead_v for_o we_o and_o thereupon_o he_o straight_o add_v it_o be_v convenient_a that_o we_o shall_v have_v such_o a_o highpriest_n 7._o where_o he_o seem_v to_o conjoin_v pray_v and_o intercede_v for_o we_o with_o the_o office_n of_o priesthood_n signify_v that_o to_o discharge_v that_o duty_n perfect_o it_o be_v necessary_a that_o he_o pray_v and_o intercede_v for_o they_o that_o be_v under_o his_o charge_n and_o more_o particular_o for_o they_o for_o who_o he_o offer_v his_o sacrifice_n which_o thing_n be_v no_o way_n inconvenient_a in_o christ_n but_o very_o agree_v with_o reason_n as_o the_o venerable_a father_n dionysius_n carthusianus_n note_n in_o his_o declaration_n of_o this_o speech_n of_o the_o apostle_n qui_fw-la etiam_fw-la interpellat_n pro_fw-la nobis_fw-la which_o also_o be_v the_o doctrine_n of_o that_o great_a saint_n laurence_n patriarch_n who_o wryte_n thus_o in_o a_o certain_a sermon_n when_o christ_n be_v sacrifice_v upon_o the_o altar_n our_o say_a redeemer_n cry_v for_o we_o unto_o his_o father_n show_v the_o sacred_a mark_n of_o his_o wound_n to_o save_v man_n from_o eternal_a punishment_n by_o his_o intercession_n this_o be_v so_o as_o i_o do_v firm_o believe_v it_o be_v what_o a_o sovereign_a and_o excellent_a thing_n and_o full_a of_o reverence_n and_o veneration_n be_v the_o holy_a sacrifice_n of_o the_o mass_n if_o we_o do_v high_o esteem_v that_o some_o saint_n in_o heaven_n pray_v particular_o &_o actual_o for_o we_o or_o some_o person_n live_v upon_o earth_n who_o we_o know_v to_o be_v virtuous_a &_o in_o singular_a favour_n with_o god_n how_o much_o more_o ought_v we_o to_o prize_v the_o only_a son_n of_o god_n his_o pray_n and_o
