3._o we_o do_v not_o deny_v that_o they_o do_v allow_v some_o external_a act_n of_o worship_n to_o be_v so_o proper_a to_o god_n alone_o that_o they_o ought_v to_o be_v give_v to_o none_o else_o

the_o same_o time_n they_o make_v their_o address_n to_o god_n himself_o with_o all_o the_o circumstance_n of_o external_n adoration_n with_o bend_a knee_n and_o eye_n lift_v up_o to_o heaven_n and_o

pray_v for_o we_o 2._o by_o way_n of_o humble_a supplication_n with_o all_o the_o external_a act_n of_o adoration_n and_o we_o can_v think_v st._n peter_n or_o st._n paul_n who_o refuse_v any_o

their_o pray_v for_o we_o but_o i_o have_v a_o further_a argument_n to_o prove_v the_o council_n mean_v more_o viz._n the_o council_n know_v the_o common_a practice_n and_o form_n of_o invocation_n

a_o admirable_a argument_n we_o receive_v the_o old_a testament_n from_o the_o jew_n therefore_o from_o they_o we_o be_v to_o receive_v the_o sense_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n and_o so_o we_o be_v
