of_o joab_n the_o chief_a captain_n of_o the_o king_n army_n and_o by_o the_o wise_a talk_n of_o a_o woman_n of_o thecua_n be_v not_o these_o sufficient_a example_n for_o to_o prove_v that_o we_o ought_v not_o to_o come_v unto_o christ_n who_o be_v such_o a_o mighty_a king_n and_o who_o we_o offend_v so_o many_o way_n without_o intercessor_n advocate_n and_o mediator_n answer_n these_o be_v the_o gay_a paint_a reason_n wherewith_o they_o dazzle_v the_o eye_n of_o the_o ignorant_a people_n which_o seem_v at_o the_o first_o to_o be_v of_o some_o importance_n and_o weight_n but_o if_o they_o be_v due_o examine_v and_o try_v with_o the_o touchstone_n of_o god_n word_n they_o shall_v be_v find_v to_o be_v mere_a deceit_n but_o or_o i_o proceed_v any_o further_a at_o i_o will_v show_v what_o their_o intent_n be_v ▪_o and_o that_o the_o chief_a and_o principal_a mark_n that_o they_o shoot_v at_o be_v to_o make_v themselves_o intercessor_n advocate_n and_o mediator_n betwixt_o the_o

saint_n for_o our_o mediator_n advocate_n and_o intercessor_n we_o shall_v also_o at_o length_n suffer_v ourselves_o to_o be_v persuade_v that_o we_o be_v not_o worthy_a to_o pray_v ourselves_o unto_o the_o saint_n but_o that_o we_o must_v have_v monk_n fréer_v nonnes_n and_o priest_n for_o to_o be_v mediator_n betwixt_o they_o and_o we_o and_o for_o this_o cause_n as_o we_o see_v daily_o by_o experience_n do_v the_o poor_a simple_a and_o ignorant_a people_n bring_v gold_n and_o silver_n unto_o they_o even_o as_o they_o that_o have_v any_o thing_n to_o do_v in_o the_o law_n be_v wont_a to_o

but_o that_o we_o have_v a_o commandment_n to_o pray_v one_o for_o a_o neither_o while_o we_o be_v yet_o in_o this_o life_n 2._o but_o yet_o we_o ought_v not_o to_o make_v merchandise_n of_o our_o prayer_n or_o to_o think_v that_o they_o can_v have_v any_o effect_n 6._o but_o only_o by_o the_o intercession_n of_o our_o saviour_n jesus_n christ_n or_o that_o we_o must_v direct_v they_o to_o any_o other_o but_o to_o he_o only_o for_o to_o have_v they_o offer_v unto_o the_o father_n for_o we_o have_v neither_o commandment_n nor_o example_n in_o all_o the_o scripture_n that_o we_o shall_v direct_v our_o prayer_n unto_o dead_a saint_n for_o it_o may_v be_v that_o we_o shall_v call_v upon_o many_o who_o we_o know_v not_o whether_o they_o be_v saint_n or_o not_o or_o whether_o they_o be_v in_o heaven_n or_o in_o hell._n but_o we_o be_v sure_a that_o our_o saviour_n christ_n be_v in_o heaven_n again_o although_o we_o be_v never_o so_o sure_a that_o they_o be_v in_o heaven_n 29._o yet_o can_v no_o man_n tell_v whether_o they_o know_v what_o we_o do_v here_o in_o this_o world_n or_o not_o whether_o they_o hear_v we_o and_o be_v able_a to_o help_v we_o or_o not_o 63._o for_o we_o learn_v rather_o the_o contrary_a in_o the_o scripture_n then_o otherwise_o but_o he_o who_o we_o ought_v to_o direct_v our_o prayer_n unto_o must_v have_v all_o these_o property_n yea_o we_o must_v be_v assure_v and_o certify_v in_o our_o conscience_n that_o he_o have_v they_o unto_o else_o we_o shall_v never_o be_v quiet_a in_o our_o mind_n first_o he_o must_v be_v of_o power_n and_o ableness_n to_o help_v and_o aid_v we_o i_o mean_v to_o grant_v we_o our_o petition_n and_o request_n for_o what_o shall_v it_o avail_v unto_o we_o to_o pray_v unto_o one_o that_o be_v not_o able_a to_o help_v and_o aid_v we_o second_o he_o must_v be_v willing_a to_o help_v aid_n and_o succour_v we_o for_o what_o profit_n be_v it_o unto_o we_o if_o he_o be_v able_a to_o help_v we_o a_o thousand_o time_n if_o he_o will_v not_o do_v it_o three_o he_o must_v be_v such_o a_o one_o as_o can_v hear_v our_o prayer_n when_o soever_o they_o be_v make_v for_o what_o shall_v benefit_v we_o though_o he_o be_v never_o so_o able_a to_o aid_v and_o help_v we_o if_o he_o can_v not_o hear_v our_o prayer_n what_o can_v also_o his_o good_a will_v help_v we_o four_o he_o must_v be_v of_o ability_n to_o hear_v the_o prayer_n of_o all_o man_n in_o the_o world_n though_o they_o shall_v all_o prey_n together_o in_o one_o instance_n and_o minute_n of_o a_o hour_n for_o else_o he_o may_v be_v let_v from_o hear_n of_o our_o prayer_n by_o the_o prayer_n of_o other_o man_n and_o so_o many_o time_n we_o shall_v pray_v in_o vain_a because_o that_o give_a ear_n to_o the_o petition_n of_o other_o man_n he_o can_v not_o hear_v we_o last_o of_o all_o he_o must_v be_v such_o a_o one_o as_o know_v better_v our_o need_n &_o necessity_n than_o we_o ourselves_o be_v able_a to_o declare_v but_o where_o shall_v we_o find_v any_o either_o in_o heaven_n or_o in_o earth_n that_o have_v all_o these_o property_n but_o god_n alone_o and_o his_o son_n jesus_n christ_n our_o lord_n therefore_o i_o may_v bold_o conclude_v that_o we_o ought_v to_o directe_v our_o petition_n and_o prayer_n only_o to_o god_n and_o to_o his_o only_o beget_v son_n our_o lord_n and_o saviour_n who_o be_v the_o only_a mean_a and_o way_n for_o to_o come_v unto_o god_n the_o father_n 7._o true_o i_o will_v fain_o know_v of_o they_o why_o we_o shall_v be_v more_o afraid_a to_o come_v unto_o christ_n then_o unto_o any_o other_o be_v there_o any_o that_o be_v mighty_a and_o wise_a or_o more_o bounteous_a and_o merciful_a than_o he_o be_v he_o bid_v all_o come_v to_o he_o that_o be_v heavy_a lade_v 11._o and_o he_o will_v refresh_v they_o

and_o pharisee_n go_v about_o to_o persuade_v the_o poor_a blind_a man_n who_o our_o saviour_n christ_n have_v make_v to_o see_v that_o christ_n be_v a_o despiser_n of_o god_n and_o of_o his_o holy_a
