the_o commemoration_n of_o the_o holy_a life_n and_o suffering_n of_o the_o saint_n and_o the_o first_o sort_n of_o the_o ancient_n prayer_n for_o they_o begin_v here_o as_o the_o occasion_n 2._o we_o

in_o these_o and_o other_o prayer_n of_o the_o like_a kind_n we_o may_v descry_v evident_a footstep_n of_o the_o primary_n intention_n of_o the_o church_n in_o her_o supplication_n for_o the_o dead_a which_o be_v that_o the_o whole_a man_n not_o the_o soul_n separate_v only_o may_v receive_v public_a remission_n of_o sin_n and_o a_o solemn_a acquittal_n in_o the_o judgement_n of_o that_o great_a

the_o roman_a office_n of_o which_o the_o great_a spanish_a doctor_n john_n medina_n thus_o write_v although_o i_o have_v read_v many_o prayer_n for_o the_o faithful_a decease_a which_o be_v contain_v in_o the_o roman_a missal_n yet_o have_v i_o read_v in_o none_o of_o they_o that_o the_o church_n do_v petition_n that_o they_o may_v more_o quick_o be_v free_v from_o pain_n but_o i_o have_v read_v that_o in_o some_o of_o they_o petition_n be_v make_v that_o they_o may_v be_v free_v from_o everlasting_a pain_n again_o there_o be_v other_o prayer_n say_v medina_n wherein_o petition_n be_v make_v that_o god_n will_v raise_v the_o soul_n of_o the_o dead_a in_o their_o body_n unto_o bliss_n at_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n you_o see_v then_o that_o our_o question_n be_v not_o whether_o the_o dead_a may_v be_v pray_v for_o but_o what_o prayer_n may_v be_v make_v for_o they_o and_o therefore_o to_o find_v that_o about_o three_o hundred_o year_n after_o christ_n more_o or_o less_o man_n begin_v to_o pray_v for_o the_o dead_a be_v no_o proof_n that_o they_o be_v not_o of_o our_o church_n or_o religion_n or_o that_o therefore_o we_o want_v succession_n it_o be_v not_o a_o pray_v to_o be_v soon_o out_o of_o purgatory_n that_o then_o be_v use_v as_o papist_n do_v but_o a_o pray_v for_o the_o mercy_n promise_v at_o the_o resurrection_n and_o thus_o we_o think_v it_o lawful_a to_o pray_v for_o the_o dead_a be_v it_o not_o for_o the_o accidental_a evil_n that_o may_v follow_v with_o they_o that_o will_v misunderstand_v and_o abuse_v it_o and_o its_o further_a to_o be_v note_v that_o as_o pegna_fw-la stapleton_n and_o other_o confess_v the_o father_n greek_n and_o latin_a before_o mention_v do_v believe_v that_o man_n have_v not_o their_o perfect_a joy_n till_o the_o resurrection_n and_o therefore_o they_o have_v the_o far_o strong_a motive_n to_o pray_v for_o the_o dead_a and_o if_o protestant_n have_v not_o be_v partly_o of_o this_o mind_n save_o only_o that_o we_o put_v not_o the_o soul_n into_o hide_a receptacle_n nor_o anywhere_o but_o with_o christ_n bellarmine_n have_v not_o find_v so_o much_o occasion_n of_o that_o unworthy_a calumny_n against_o calvin_n for_o the_o word_n cite_v by_o he_o in_o his_o instit_n as_o if_o he_o deny_v the_o beatifical_a vision_n if_o not_o the_o immortality_n of_o the_o soul_n even_o because_o he_o take_v not_o our_o bliss_n to_o be_v perfect_a till_o the_o resurrection_n but_o somewhat_o short_a of_o what_o we_o shall_v then_o be_v now_o see_v the_o father_n be_v so_o common_o of_o that_o mind_n and_o the_o greek_n and_o aethiopian_n be_v still_o of_o that_o mind_n and_o bellarmine_n say_v luther_n and_o calvin_n be_v of_o that_o mind_n you_o may_v see_v that_o neither_o in_o that_o nor_o the_o point_n of_o pray_v for_o the_o dead_a as_o use_v by_o the_o ancient_n be_v our_o distance_n so_o great_a as_o to_o weaken_v the_o proof_n of_o our_o succession_n or_o make_v we_o to_o be_v of_o two_o church_n or_o religion_n and_o here_o you_o may_v see_v the_o difference_n between_o the_o prayer_n for_o the_o dead_a which_o be_v use_v by_o the_o papist_n and_o by_o the_o eastern_a church_n to_o
