of_o knowledge_n the_o saint_n do_v know_v our_o prayer_n or_o last_o because_o we_o offer_v injury_n to_o god_n and_o christ_n if_o we_o pray_v to_o any_o other_o then_o to_o he_o alone_o but_o this_o be_v the_o least_o of_o all_o true_a see_v by_o the_o same_o reason_n it_o shall_v not_o be_v lawful_a for_o we_o to_o pray_v to_o the_o live_n that_o they_o will_v pray_v for_o we_o and_o then_o consequent_o saint_n paul_n shall_v have_v be_v most_o injurious_a to_o god_n and_o christ_n in_o pray_v to_o the_o roman_n the_o ephesian_n the_o thessalonian_n the_o colossian_n and_o the_o hebrew_n to_o pray_v for_o he_o to_o god_n therefore_o as_o it_o be_v no_o injury_n but_o a_o honour_n to_o king_n when_o their_o friend_n be_v honour_v and_o ambassador_n be_v send_v to_o they_o

friend_n of_o god_n since_o otherwise_o it_o will_v follow_v that_o he_o shall_v commit_v deipara_n a_o injury_n to_o god_n as_o be_v above_o say_v who_o shall_v desire_v &_o entreat_v the_o prayer_n of_o the_o live_n this_o argument_n be_v unanswerable_a and_o the_o rather_o since_o the_o saint_n in_o heaven_n be_v member_n of_o the_o same_o church_n of_o which_o the_o live_a be_v they_o also_o

so_o far_o as_o concern_v this_o point_n there_o be_v no_o difference_n between_o the_o angel_n and_o the_o saint_n second_o the_o nature_n of_o their_o beatitude_n require_v such_o knowledge_n of_o the_o affair_n of_o their_o live_a friend_n for_o see_v their_o happiness_n be_v a_o main_n ocean_n of_o all_o joy_n no_o kind_n of_o happiness_n be_v to_o they_o want_v which_o be_v requisite_a for_o
