where_n accuse_v the_o arian_n of_o idolatry_n for_o worship_v of_o jesus_n christ_n for_o this_o very_a reason_n because_o they_o own_v he_o not_o to_o be_v god_n or_o at_o least_o not_o the_o supreme_a god_n from_o whence_o it_o plain_o appear_v that_o they_o have_v the_o same_o notion_n in_o this_o case_n that_o we_o now_o have_v that_o man_n may_v be_v guilty_a of_o idolatry_n in_o give_v divine_a worship_n to_o what_o they_o believe_v be_v not_o god_n three_o the_o apostle_n call_v covetousness_n idolatry_n which_o though_o it_o be_v a_o figurative_a expression_n yet_o however_o denote_v to_o we_o the_o thing_n for_o which_o i_o be_o now_o plead_v the_o covetous_a man_n do_v not_o look_v upon_o his_o money_n to_o be_v his_o god_n or_o intend_v to_o give_v it_o any_o of_o that_o worship_n he_o think_v due_a to_o god_n i_o believe_v no_o covetous_a man_n in_o the_o world_n can_v be_v just_o charge_v with_o either_o of_o these_o but_o because_o he_o place_v his_o heart_n and_o his_o affection_n upon_o it_o which_o ought_v to_o be_v give_v to_o none_o but_o god_n because_o his_o money_n be_v the_o thing_n in_o which_o he_o put_v his_o trust_n and_o his_o confidence_n therefore_o it_o be_v that_o he_o be_v say_v to_o make_v a_o idol_n of_o it_o and_o to_o be_v guilty_a of_o idolatry_n and_o so_o it_o be_v as_o to_o the_o worship_v of_o saint_n though_o their_o worshipper_n know_v very_o well_o that_o they_o be_v not_o god_n yet_o because_o they_o give_v they_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n that_o outward_a adoration_n and_o inward_a reverence_n hope_v trust_v and_o dependence_n which_o be_v due_a only_o to_o god_n they_o do_v by_o that_o make_v they_o idol_n and_o be_v just_o chargeable_a with_o idolatry_n i_o now_o proceed_v to_o the_o second_o point_n to_o show_v that_o the_o worship_n which_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n give_v to_o the_o bless_a virgin_n and_o other_o saint_n by_o the_o invocation_n practise_v among_o they_o be_v divine_a worship_n such_o as_o ought_v to_o be_v give_v to_o none_o but_o god_n we_o be_v not_o concern_v at_o present_a to_o inquire_v into_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n but_o into_o the_o practice_n that_o be_v the_o thing_n particular_o censure_v in_o the_o test-act_n though_o indeed_o the_o practice_n of_o any_o church_n be_v the_o best_a exposition_n of_o her_o doctrine_n the_o council_n of_o trent_n leave_v this_o matter_n in_o general_a term_n determine_v that_o we_o must_v seek_v the_o help_n and_o aid_n of_o the_o saint_n 25._o opem_fw-la auxiliumque_fw-la sess_n 25._o but_o do_v not_o fix_v the_o measure_n of_o it_o however_o since_o it_o do_v not_o censure_n what_o be_v then_o the_o common_a practice_n of_o that_o church_n we_o may_v take_v it_o for_o grant_v that_o the_o meaning_n of_o the_o council_n be_v that_o we_o must_v seek_v their_o aid_n and_o help_v in_o the_o method_n which_o be_v then_o in_o use_n for_o if_o they_o disapprove_v of_o what_o be_v then_o common_o practise_v it_o concern_v they_o much_o to_o speak_v out_o as_o to_o set_v their_o own_o people_n right_a and_o to_o keep_v they_o out_o of_o dangerous_a practice_n so_o also_o to_o vindicate_v the_o honour_n of_o their_o church_n which_o be_v then_o open_o charge_v with_o idolatry_n upon_o account_n of_o those_o practice_n we_o agree_v with_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n in_o this_o that_o we_o ought_v to_o have_v a_o great_a honour_n and_o respect_n for_o the_o saint_n of_o god_n that_o we_o ought_v to_o love_v their_o memory_n to_o endeavour_v to_o imitate_v the_o good_a example_n they_o have_v leave_v we_o and_o to_o bless_v god_n for_o the_o benefit_n he_o have_v bestow_v upon_o the_o church_n by_o their_o mean_n and_o above_o other_o saint_n we_o ought_v to_o have_v a_o great_a esteem_n and_o value_n for_o the_o bless_a virgin_n who_o have_v the_o honour_n to_o be_v the_o mother_n of_o our_o lord_n and_o by_o that_o to_o be_v so_o near_o concern_v in_o the_o great_a blessing_n that_o ever_o be_v bestow_v upon_o the_o world_n but_o we_o differ_v from_o that_o church_n in_o this_o that_o they_o adore_v the_o saint_n and_o pray_v to_o they_o and_o that_o not_o as_o one_o friend_n will_v desire_v another_o to_o pray_v for_o he_o but_o with_o all_o the_o solemn_a ceremony_n and_o circumstance_n of_o prayer_n and_o with_o the_o very_a same_o with_o which_o they_o pray_v to_o god_n they_o do_v it_o in_o their_o church_n kneel_v and_o with_o their_o eye_n lift_v up_o to_o heaven_n and_o with_o all_o the_o sign_n of_o devotion_n which_o can_v be_v show_v not_o only_o from_o one_o creature_n to_o another_o but_o from_o a_o creature_n to_o its_o creator_n they_o make_v vow_n to_o they_o burn_v incense_n to_o their_o image_n dedicate_v themselves_o to_o their_o service_n make_v offering_n to_o they_o and_o the_o like_a they_o pray_v to_o they_o direct_o to_o bestow_v blessing_n upon_o they_o thus_o in_o the_o office_n of_o the_o bless_a virgin_n she_o be_v not_o only_o call_v the_o gate_n of_o heaven_n but_o she_o be_v entreat_v to_o loose_v the_o bond_n of_o the_o gvilty_a to_o give_v light_n to_o the_o blind_a and_o to_o drive_v away_o our_o evil_n and_o to_o show_v herself_o to_o be_v a_o mother_n they_o pray_v to_o she_o therein_o for_o purity_n of_o life_n and_o a_o safe_a conduct_n to_o heaven_n she_o be_v common_o call_v the_o queen_n of_o heaven_n the_o mother_n of_o mercy_n and_o which_o be_v most_o shameful_a of_o all_o the_o psalm_n of_o david_n compose_v for_o the_o honour_n of_o god_n and_o which_o contain_v the_o high_a strain_n of_o devotion_n which_o a_o creature_n can_v give_v to_o god_n be_v by_o a_o saint_n of_o that_o church_n bonaventura_n bonaventura_n turn_v to_o the_o honour_n of_o the_o virgin_n by_o put_v her_o name_n where_o the_o name_n of_o god_n be_v put_v by_o david_n and_o this_o be_v neither_o censure_v by_o the_o council_n of_o trent_n nor_o have_v be_v by_o any_o pope_n that_o i_o can_v hear_v of_o to_o this_o day_n but_o on_o the_o contrary_a the_o author_n of_o it_o have_v be_v canonize_v and_o the_o book_n be_v in_o common_a use_n which_o perhaps_o be_v one_o of_o the_o black_a piece_n of_o idolatry_n that_o ever_o be_v in_o the_o world_n and_o though_o a_o church_n must_v not_o always_o bear_v the_o gild_n of_o what_o be_v publish_v by_o private_a person_n in_o her_o communion_n though_o it_o do_v pass_v without_o censure_n yet_o consider_v how_o careful_a that_o church_n have_v be_v in_o many_o matter_n of_o much_o less_o moment_n especial_o where_o her_o own_o authority_n be_v concern_v and_o how_o solicitous_a they_o be_v to_o keep_v book_n that_o make_v against_o they_o out_o of_o the_o hand_n of_o their_o people_n it_o look_v at_o least_o like_o espouse_v the_o blasphemy_n and_o idolatrous_a prayer_n and_o praise_n of_o it_o to_o let_v this_o book_n go_v so_o free_o about_o without_o censure_n and_o to_o encourage_v it_o so_o far_o as_o to_o make_v the_o author_n of_o it_o a_o saint_n these_o and_o many_o other_o instance_n may_v be_v give_v of_o the_o worship_n they_o give_v to_o the_o bless_a virgin_n and_o though_o they_o be_v somewhat_o more_o modest_a with_o relation_n to_o other_o saint_n yet_o what_o i_o have_v take_v notice_n of_o already_o may_v sufficient_o show_v that_o they_o give_v they_o the_o worship_n which_o god_n have_v appropriate_v to_o himself_o i_o will_v only_o therefore_o mention_v further_o that_o in_o many_o instance_n they_o pray_v to_o they_o to_o bestow_v those_o blessing_n which_o only_a god_n can_v give_v such_o as_o to_o open_v the_o gate_n of_o heaven_n to_o untie_v the_o bond_n of_o their_o iniquity_n to_o heal_v their_o spiritual_a malady_n and_o many_o other_o of_o the_o same_o nature_n of_o which_o i_o shall_v give_v they_o example_n at_o large_a if_o require_v or_o if_o i_o find_v it_o necessary_a to_o confirm_v any_o thing_n that_o i_o have_v now_o say_v i_o now_o proceed_v to_o take_v notice_n of_o some_o of_o those_o reason_n we_o have_v to_o prove_v that_o this_o invocation_n be_v part_n of_o that_o worship_n which_o god_n have_v appropriate_v to_o himself_o and_o which_o consequent_o can_v be_v give_v to_o any_o creature_n without_o the_o crime_n of_o idolatry_n 1._o i_o desire_v it_o may_v be_v consider_v that_o the_o scripture_n do_v every_o where_o speak_v of_o prayer_n as_o apply_v to_o god_n and_o to_o none_o else_o and_o that_o without_o the_o least_o intimation_n of_o any_o such_o distinction_n as_o be_v make_v use_n of_o in_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n we_o have_v in_o the_o old_a testament_n the_o history_n of_o the_o church_n of_o god_n for_o near_o 4000_o year_n and_o in_o all_o that_o time_n there_o be_v not_o the_o least_o instance_n or_o intimation_n of_o
