A42574 The primitive fathers no papists in answer to the Vindication of the Nubes testium : to which is added an historical discourse concerning invocation of saints, in answer to the challenge of F. Sabran the Jesuit, wherein is shewn that invocation of saints was so far from being the practice, that it was expresly [sic] against the doctrine of the primitive fathers. Gee, Edward, 1657-1730. 1688 (1688) Wing G459; ESTC R18594 102,715 146

primitive_a father_n so_o that_o invocation_n of_o saint_n be_v no_o more_o countenance_v by_o they_o than_o it_o be_v by_o the_o church_n of_o england_n and_o we_o have_v all_o the_o reason_n in_o

more_o that_o i_o can_v offer_v the_o first_o difference_n be_v that_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n do_v use_v a_o direct_a invocation_n or_o formal_a prayer_n to_o the_o saint_n and_o angel_n as_o be_v apparent_a from_o hundred_o of_o place_n in_o their_o missall_n breviaries_n and_o office_n whereas_o the_o primitive_a father_n of_o the_o end_n of_o the_o four_o and_o five_o century_n do_v not_o invocate_v or_o make_v prayer_n to_o the_o saint_n but_o mere_o such_o address_n or_o request_n as_o be_v make_v from_o one_o friend_n to_o another_o and_o this_o i_o do_v prove_v out_o of_o their_o own_o mouth_n who_o make_v prayer_n to_o be_v peculiar_a to_o god_n alone_o and_o therefore_o will_v not_o contradict_v their_o own_o doctrine_n by_o their_o own_o practice_n which_o these_o father_n have_v inevitable_o do_v have_v they_o reserve_v prayer_n as_o proper_a to_o god_n alone_o and_o yet_o offer_v prayer_n or_o invocation_n to_o the_o saint_n a_o second_o difference_n be_v that_o whereas_o those_o request_n be_v make_v at_o the_o memory_n of_o those_o martyr_n to_o who_o they_o be_v present_v and_o who_o be_v believe_v to_o be_v present_a there_o though_o invisible_o at_o that_o time_n the_o invocation_n and_o prayer_n to_o the_o saint_n in_o the_o present_a church_n of_o rome_n be_v make_v not_o only_o in_o every_o place_n but_o in_o ten_o thousand_o different_a and_o most_o distant_a place_n to_o such_o or_o such_o a_o particular_a saint_n which_o be_v virtual_o to_o ascribe_v to_o they_o a_o omnipresence_n a_o attribute_n that_o no_o finite_a be_v be_v capable_a of_o the_o three_o difference_n be_v that_o those_o request_n and_o interpellation_n to_o the_o martyr_n be_v neither_o command_v by_o the_o primitive_a church_n authorize_v by_o her_o general_n or_o provincial_a or_o any_o other_o council_n nor_o use_v in_o the_o public_a office_n of_o the_o church_n whereas_o on_o the_o contrary_a the_o invocation_n and_o prayer_n to_o saint_n in_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n be_v enjoin_v by_o the_o roman_a church_n be_v authorize_v by_o her_o last_o general_n council_n of_o trent_n and_o use_v not_o only_o in_o the_o public_a office_n of_o their_o church_n but_o in_o the_o most_o solemn_a part_n of_o their_o office_n in_o the_o litany_n of_o the_o church_n i_o can_v add_v more_o but_o these_o be_v enough_o to_o show_v the_o vast_a difference_n betwixt_o what_o be_v now_o practise_v in_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n towards_o the_o saint_n and_o what_o be_v do_v to_o they_o at_o the_o latter_a end_n of_o the_o four_o and_o in_o the_o five_o age_n of_o the_o church_n which_o be_v the_o time_n of_o the_o primitive_a church_n in_o dispute_n betwixt_o i_o and_o the_o compiler_n and_o the_o jesuit_n thus_o i_o have_v be_v so_o civil_a as_o to_o accept_v the_o jesuit_n challenge_v and_o to_o make_v he_o a_o fair_a and_o distinct_a reply_n and_o have_v be_v more_o civil_a to_o he_o than_o i_o ought_v to_o have_v be_v since_o according_a to_o the_o law_n of_o arm_n i_o think_v the_o challenge_n i_o make_v to_o the_o jesuit_n among_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o romish_a priest_n in_o england_n to_o show_v i_o but_o one_o canon_n of_o the_o catholic_n church_n for_o the_o first_o six_o hundred_o year_n of_o the_o church_n for_o the_o pope_n supremacy_n ought_v to_o have_v be_v accept_v and_o answer_v before_o any_o of_o they_o be_v allow_v to_o make_v any_o challenge_n to_o i_o but_o since_o it_o be_v impossible_a for_o the_o jesuit_n or_o any_o of_o they_o to_o produce_v such_o a_o canon_n and_o therefore_o to_o make_v any_o reply_n to_o that_o challenge_n i_o will_v at_o part_a tell_v the_o jesuit_n that_o if_o he_o intend_v to_o prosecute_v this_o controversy_n about_o invocation_n of_o saint_n it_o be_v my_o turn_n to_o challenge_v and_o therefore_o i_o do_v challenge_v he_o to_o show_v as_o fair_a and_o as_o uninterrupted_a a_o practice_n and_o doctrine_n for_o invocation_n of_o saint_n as_o i_o have_v produce_v against_o it_o for_o the_o four_o first_o century_n of_o the_o church_n out_o of_o the_o liturgy_n and_o genuine_a work_n of_o the_o father_n of_o those_o distinst_a age_n i_o must_v now_o

the_o compiler_n have_v say_v that_o i_o have_v grant_v that_o invocation_n of_o saint_n be_v practise_v in_o the_o four_o and_o five_o age_n of_o the_o church_n upon_o this_o he_o very_o learned_o

which_o i_o suppose_v he_o be_v willing_a shall_v be_v think_v the_o true_a of_o the_o two_o but_o grant_v that_o the_o bishop_n of_o condom_n word_n have_v be_v restrain_v whole_o to_o the_o

since_o he_o can_v not_o but_o know_v that_o this_o passage_n of_o the_o bishop_n of_o condom_n about_o purgatory_n be_v a_o perfect_a juggle_v and_o altogether_o unbecoming_a a_o christian_n much_o more_o a_o bishop_n for_o though_o the_o council_n have_v be_v so_o reserve_v about_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o pain_n in_o purgatory_n yet_o he_o know_v too_o well_o that_o their_o church_n their_o catholic_n church_n have_v plain_o and_o full_o determine_v about_o the_o nature_n of_o those_o purgatory_n pain_n in_o her_o office_n for_o the_o dead_a by_o which_o she_o have_v speak_v her_o
