the_o church_n have_v very_o great_a reason_n to_o address_v her_o prayer_n to_o god_n the_o only_a true_a cause_n but_o through_o christ_n who_o be_v the_o occasional_a and_o distributive_a cause_n of_o the_o good_a thing_n which_o we_o pray_v for_o for_o though_o sinner_n never_o receive_v grace_n but_o when_o christ_n pray_v for_o they_o by_o his_o desire_n either_o actual_a or_o habitual_a

nevertheless_o the_o sense_n of_o the_o church_n be_v that_o they_o know_v our_o necessity_n when_o we_o call_v upon_o they_o and_o that_o be_v in_o favour_n with_o god_n and_o unite_v to_o christ_n their_o head_n they_o may_v by_o their_o prayer_n and_o desire_n solicit_v he_o to_o deliver_v we_o from_o our_o misery_n nay_o it_o seem_v to_o be_v beyond_o dispute_n from_o the_o example_n of_o

their_o prayer_n be_v beneficial_a to_o their_o friend_n i_o see_v no_o sufficient_a reason_n to_o deny_v the_o saint_n in_o heaven_n this_o power_n only_o we_o must_v observe_v that_o they_o be_v not_o occasional_a cause_n of_o inward_a grace_n for_o this_o power_n be_v give_v to_o christ_n alone_o as_o the_o architect_n of_o the_o eternal_a temple_n the_o head_n of_o the_o church_n the_o necessary_a mediator_n in_o a_o word_n as_o the_o particular_a or_o distributive_a cause_n of_o the_o true_a good_n vi_o so_o then_o we_o may_v pray_v to_o the_o bless_a virgin_n to_o angel_n and_o

be_v the_o day_n on_o which_o the_o church_n celebrate_v their_o festival_n it_o be_v possible_a also_o that_o as_o natural_a or_o occasional_a cause_n they_o may_v have_v a_o power_n of_o produce_v those_o effect_n which_o we_o call_v miraculous_a because_o we_o do_v not_o know_v the_o cause_n of_o they_o such_o as_o the_o cure_n of_o disease_n plentiful_a harvest_n and_o other_o extraordinary_a

to_o give_v a_o brief_a explication_n of_o it_o from_o the_o manner_n of_o god_n proceed_v in_o the_o execution_n of_o his_o design_n vii_o god_n can_v not_o act_v but_o for_o his_o own_o glory_n

the_o will_n of_o a_o father_n be_v the_o inviolable_a law_n of_o a_o child_n but_o when_o the_o father_n be_v dead_a what_o then_o will_v be_v the_o law_n of_o the_o son_n without_o doubt_v his_o

till_o his_o father_n be_v dead_a or_o grow_v old_a and_o unable_a to_o keep_v he_o in_o slavery_n any_o long_o before_o he_o prescribe_v a_o law_n to_o himself_o he_o will_v natural_o find_v it_o in_o his_o pleasure_n for_o this_o unjust_a and_o brutish_a law_n be_v better_a perhaps_o than_o the_o will_n of_o a_o unreasonable_a father_n i_o be_o sure_a it_o be_v more_o agreeable_a and_o easy_a a_o young_a man_n will_v quick_o be_v satisfy_v of_o this_o when_o once_o he_o have_v taste_v the_o sweetness_n of_o it_o and_o then_o whether_o the_o father_n be_v dead_a or_o alive_a the_o son_n will_v easy_o find_v mean_n to_o obey_v this_o law_n and_o yield_v to_o its_o enchantment_n he_o will_v look_v upon_o his_o father_n as_o a_o enemy_n and_o a_o tyrant_n if_o he_o have_v yet_o strength_n and_o vigour_n enough_o leave_v to_o interrupt_v he_o in_o his_o pleasure_n and_o disturb_v he_o in_o his_o debauch_n and_o be_v persuade_v by_o the_o example_n and_o conduct_n of_o his_o father_n that_o every_o thing_n ought_v to_o obey_v his_o own_o will_n and_o pleasure_n he_o will_v employ_v all_o his_o power_n and_o all_o those_o person_n over_o who_o he_o have_v any_o authority_n in_o gratify_v his_o desire_n for_o he_o will_v find_v himself_o actual_o happy_a in_o give_v himself_o up_o to_o his_o pleasure_n and_o will_v not_o have_v education_n and_o experience_n enough_o to_o apprehend_v the_o fatal_a consequence_n of_o they_o child_n therefore_o shall_v be_v govern_v by_o reason_n as_o far_o as_o they_o be_v capable_a of_o it_o they_o have_v ●ll_o the_o same_o

xix_o a_o father_n must_v not_o imagine_v that_o his_o quality_n of_o father_n give_v he_o a_o absolute_a and_o independent_a sovereignty_n over_o his_o son_n he_o be_v a_o father_n only_o by_o the_o

a_o brutish_a action_n in_o which_o he_o know_v not_o what_o he_o do_v for_o it_o be_v only_a experience_n which_o teach_v he_o that_o in_o gratify_v his_o passion_n he_o also_o preserve_v his_o species_n what_o right_o can_v he_o have_v over_o the_o mind_n and_o heart_n of_o another_o man_n from_o a_o action_n like_o that_o of_o brute_n a_o action_n which_o he_o ought_v to_o blush_v at_o
