who_o delight_v not_o to_o cavil_n upon_o word_n understand_v our_o meaning_n to_o be_v very_o far_o off_o from_o attribute_v any_o jot_n of_o god_n honour_n unto_o any_o saint_n or_o any_o other_o thing_n whatsoever_o can_v be_v just_o offend_v with_o our_o term_n of_o religious_a worship_n give_v to_o saint_n when_o as_o he_o be_v beforehand_o give_v to_o understand_v that_o we_o take_v religious_a to_o signify_v not_o that_o which_o be_v proper_a to_o god_n but_o those_o religious_a gift_n which_o be_v in_o godly_a man_n hence_o also_o it_o follow_v most_o perspicuous_o what_o intolerable_a wrong_n they_o do_v we_o that_o call_v we_o idolater_n or_o say_v that_o we_o rob_v god_n of_o his_o honour_n and_o give_v it_o unto_o saint_n for_o we_o say_v and_o repeat_v it_o a_o thousand_o time_n over_o and_o over_o and_o declare_v it_o as_o plain_o as_o can_v be_v that_o it_o be_v the_o most_o heinous_a crime_n in_o the_o world_n to_o give_v any_o such_o sovereign_a honour_n as_o be_v due_a to_o god_n only_o unto_o either_o angel_n or_o saint_n to_o wit_n to_o esteem_v they_o to_o be_v infinite_o mighty_a wise_a or_o good_a or_o to_o be_v the_o creator_n or_o supreme_a governor_n of_o heaven_n and_o earth_n or_o brief_o to_o be_v the_o author_n of_o any_o supernatural_a or_o natural_a excellency_n or_o perfection_n these_o and_o such_o like_a point_n of_o divine_a honour_n we_o ascribe_v not_o to_o any_o creature_n but_o say_v that_o the_o saint_n be_v god_n creature_n and_o servant_n and_o do_v receive_v all_o that_o they_o either_o be_v or_o have_v or_o god_n liberality_n yet_o we_o hold_v it_o not_o to_o derogate_v any_o whit_n from_o the_o due_a honour_n we_o owe_v unto_o god_n to_o yield_v such_o honour_n and_o worship_n unto_o his_o saint_n and_o servant_n as_o he_o have_v make_v they_o worthy_a of_o nay_o rather_o we_o do_v not_o a_o little_a honour_n god_n himself_o when_o we_o worship_v godly_a man_n for_o his_o divine_a gift_n bestow_v upon_o they_o and_o when_o we_o think_v that_o because_o they_o have_v faithful_o serve_v he_o on_o earth_n they_o be_v now_o in_o heaven_n in_o high_a favour_n with_o he_o and_o can_v soon_o obtain_v any_o reasonable_a suit_n of_o he_o than_o other_o mortal_a man_n who_o be_v subject_a to_o many_o infirmity_n neither_o do_v we_o diminish_v any_o thing_n at_o all_o christ_n our_o saviour_n mediation_n by_o make_v the_o saint_n our_o intercessor_n for_o as_o shall_v be_v hereafter_o declare_v at_o large_a we_o attribute_v no_o point_n of_o christ_n mediation_n to_o they_o but_o only_o range_v and_o place_v the_o saint_n intercession_n with_o the_o prayer_n of_o other_o good_a man_n live_v on_o earth_n and_o with_o our_o own_o although_o in_o a_o different_a degree_n of_o perfection_n there_o be_v being_n far_o better_o than_o we_o yet_o all_o be_v make_v in_o christ_n name_n and_o be_v effectual_a through_o the_o merit_n of_o his_o passion_n but_o one_o may_v here_o object_v how_o then_o do_v catholic_n affirm_v and_o say_v that_o the_o saint_n be_v their_o hope_n and_o refuge_n and_o how_o can_v they_o desire_v they_o to_o have_v mercy_n upon_o they_o and_o to_o help_v they_o which_o seem_v to_o be_v thing_n proper_a to_o god_n alone_o and_o to_o christ_n our_o redeemer_n i_o answer_v first_o that_o these_o speech_n in_o good_a sense_n have_v be_v use_v by_o most_o ancient_a learned_a and_o circumspect_a author_n and_o that_o by_o imitation_n of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n for_o holy_a job_n say_v have_v mercy_n on_o i_o have_v mercy_n on_o i_o 19_o job_n 19_o 1._o thess_n 2._o vers_fw-la 18._o cap._n 15._o vers_fw-la 30._o 1._o cap._n 9_o vers_fw-la 19_o at_o least_o you_o my_o friend_n and_o saint_n paul_n call_v the_o thessalonian_o his_o hope_n his_o joy_n and_o crown_n of_o glory_n and_o desire_v the_o roman_n to_o help_v he_o in_o their_o prayer_n and_o say_v to_o the_o corinthian_n that_o he_o become_v all_o thing_n to_o all_o man_n that_o he_o may_v save_v all_o with_o diverse_a such_o like_a so_o that_o no_o discreet_a man_n ought_v to_o condemn_v such_o speech_n to_o the_o saint_n if_o they_o be_v utter_v with_o a_o good_a meaning_n to_o wit_n that_o they_o take_v compassion_n of_o our_o frailty_n and_o misery_n do_v by_o their_o gracious_a intercession_n help_v to_o procure_v our_o pardon_n and_o to_o obtain_v at_o god_n bounteous_a hand_n through_o the_o merit_n of_o christ_n passion_n all_o such_o heavenly_a grace_n as_o we_o stand_v need_n of_o albeit_o as_o i_o have_v say_v such_o term_n have_v be_v very_o well_o use_v in_o all_o antiquity_n yet_o in_o these_o our_o captious_a day_n i_o can_v wish_v that_o catholic_n will_v use_v they_o very_o spare_o for_o fear_v of_o scandalize_a the_o poor_a deceive_v protestant_n observe_v last_o that_o by_o the_o outward_a manner_n and_o external_a show_n of_o worship_n it_o can_v be_v sufficient_o discern_v whether_o it_o be_v divine_a religious_a or_o civil_a for_o as_o we_o kneel_v to_o god_n so_o do_v we_o also_o on_o our_o knee_n honour_v the_o king_n 10._o 1._o reg._n 24._o vers_fw-la 10._o and_o his_o council_n as_o david_n do_v adore_v king_n saul_n prostrate_v on_o the_o earth_n but_o the_o difference_n consist_v chief_o in_o the_o inward_a conceit_n and_o disposition_n of_o the_o mind_n and_o so_o whether_o we_o kneel_v or_o no_o if_o we_o prostrate_v our_o heart_n before_o god_n incline_v it_o unto_o he_o as_o to_o the_o author_n of_o all_o thing_n infinite_o perfect_a we_o do_v he_o godly_a honour_n so_o if_o we_o kneel_v to_o any_o saint_n or_o before_o any_o picture_n of_o a_o saint_n in_o honour_n of_o the_o saint_n acknowledge_v in_o our_o heart_n the_o saint_n to_o be_v a_o very_a holy_a creature_n endue_v with_o many_o great_a grace_n of_o god_n and_o dear_o belove_v of_o he_o we_o do_v but_o due_o worship_v the_o saint_n as_o kneel_v to_o the_o king_n and_o in_o our_o heart_n confess_v he_o to_o be_v the_o supreme_a governor_n under_o god_n of_o the_o temporal_a state_n of_o his_o kingdom_n we_o do_v but_o our_o duty_n unto_o our_o king_n to_o conclude_v it_o be_v not_o the_o outward_a fashion_n of_o worship_n that_o make_v it_o proper_a to_o god_n or_o man_n when_o as_o kneel_v to_o one_o may_v be_v also_o in_o derision_n of_o he_o as_o when_o pilate_n soldier_n kneel_v to_o christ_n but_o the_o inward_a conceit_n and_o inclination_n of_o the_o judgement_n and_o hart_n and_o therefore_o they_o be_v very_o simple_a that_o reprehend_v catholic_n of_o idolatry_n for_o kneel_v before_o picture_n when_o as_o they_o kneel_v not_o to_o the_o picture_n itself_o no_o more_o than_o protestant_n kneel_v unto_o that_o part_n of_o their_o seat_n or_o to_o the_o wall_n that_o be_v before_o they_o but_o they_o do_v kneel_v to_o god_n as_o to_o their_o sovereign_a lord_n and_o to_o the_o saint_n as_o to_o a_o holy_a personage_n who_o prayer_n to_o god_n for_o they_o they_o humble_o request_v now_o to_o the_o main_a point_n in_o controversy_n m._n per._n deny_v that_o any_o civil_a worship_n in_o bend_v of_o the_o knee_n or_o prostrate_v of_o the_o body_n be_v to_o be_v give_v to_o either_o saint_n or_o angel_n and_o much_o less_o any_o religious_a worship_n as_o namely_o invocation_n signify_v by_o any_o bodily_a adoration_n for_o that_o say_v he_o be_v the_o honour_n of_o god_n himself_o by_o what_o name_n soever_o you_o call_v it_o and_o this_o be_v all_o he_o say_v for_o aught_o i_o can_v see_v touch_v the_o worship_v of_o saint_n we_o on_o the_o other_o side_n say_v that_o we_o may_v both_o bend_v the_o knee_n and_o prostrate_v the_o body_n to_o any_o angel_n or_o saint_n in_o heaven_n and_o with_o a_o religious_a inclination_n and_o obeisance_n of_o our_o heart_n worship_n they_o for_o their_o excellent_a supernatural_a gift_n and_o that_o this_o kind_n of_o worship_n be_v much_o inferior_a unto_o the_o honour_n proper_a to_o god_n yea_o that_o it_o be_v infinite_o less_o then_o that_o as_o have_v be_v already_o declare_v m._n per._n have_v one_o only_a shadow_n of_o a_o reason_n why_o we_o must_v not_o yield_v any_o civil_a worship_n unto_o the_o saint_n because_o say_v he_o they_o be_v absent_a from_o we_o and_o we_o use_v not_o to_o worship_v man_n that_o be_v absent_a ergo_fw-la which_o be_v most_o easy_o confute_v and_o that_o two_o way_n first_o if_o we_o say_v as_o we_o will_v prove_v afterward_o that_o though_o they_o be_v far_o distant_a from_o we_o in_o place_n yet_o they_o see_v and_o know_v all_o the_o honour_n that_o we_o present_v to_o they_o and_o so_o be_v they_o moral_o present_a and_o as_o so_o present_a may_v be_v worship_v second_o that_o we_o may_v true_o honour_v they_o who_o be_v absent_a corporal_o by_o
