know_v not_o only_o to_o the_o spirit_n of_o man_n but_o also_o to_o miriads_o of_o bless_a saint_n and_o angel_n so_o may_v the_o secret_n of_o god_n be_v know_v not_o only_o to_o the_o holy_a

those_o thing_n which_o be_v reveal_v to_o we_o by_o the_o gospel_n and_o that_o the_o curious_a wisdom_n which_o contrive_v that_o dispensation_n be_v make_v know_v unto_o they_o by_o the_o church_n 1.12_o eph._n 3.10_o 1_o pet._n 1.12_o and_o therefore_o peter_n represent_v they_o as_o stoop_v down_o to_o view_v this_o new_a discovery_n which_o be_v a_o signal_n indication_n of_o the_o

prayer_n that_o be_v put_v up_o unto_o he_o they_o be_v see_v and_o know_v to_o god_n 3_o that_o we_o may_v pray_v in_o faith_n we_o must_v be_v certain_a that_o the_o bless_a spirit_n be_v acquaint_v with_o the_o desire_n of_o our_o heart_n for_o he_o that_o do_v command_v we_o to_o pray_v in_o faith_n and_o without_o doubt_v can_v be_v want_v to_o give_v we_o certain_a motive_n of_o this_o

will_n in_o this_o particular_a have_v he_o intend_v that_o they_o shall_v pay_v this_o homage_n to_o the_o saint_n depart_v whereas_o we_o have_v no_o certain_a evidence_n that_o they_o enjoy_v this_o knowledge_n either_o from_o revelation_n or_o from_o vision_n and_o 1._o we_o be_v not_o certain_a that_o they_o behold_v our_o supplication_n in_o the_o beatific_a vision_n for_o many_o of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n do_v hold_v the_o contrary_a and_o it_o be_v free_a for_o all_o her_o member_n so_o to_o do_v and_o so_o this_o matter_n can_v be_v hold_v as_o any_o article_n of_o faith_n or_o certain_a definition_n of_o the_o church_n 2._o it_o be_v not_o certain_a that_o these_o bless_a spirit_n by_o virtue_n of_o this_o vision_n do_v behold_v what_o be_v contingent_a for_o this_o be_v general_o deny_v by_o the_o romish_a doctor_n and_o yet_o these_o thing_n be_v see_v of_o god_n as_o clear_o as_o be_v the_o secret_n of_o the_o heart_n 2._o we_o can_v possible_o be_v certain_a that_o god_n do_v reveal_v they_o for_o we_o can_v certain_o conclude_v it_o from_o his_o attribute_n nor_o have_v we_o any_o certain_a revelation_n that_o he_o do_v reveal_v our_o mind_n and_o thought_n unto_o they_o for_o if_o we_o can_v certain_o conclude_v it_o from_o his_o attribute_n than_o god_n will_v not_o be_v god_n do_v he_o not_o thus_o reveal_v our_o supplication_n to_o the_o saint_n depart_v and_o second_o then_o to_o deny_v this_o revelation_n will_v be_v to_o sin_n against_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n and_o then_o not_o only_a protestant_n but_o the_o prevail_a part_n of_o roman_a catholic_n must_v sin_v against_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n by_o hold_v they_o obtain_v this_o knowledge_n not_o by_o revelation_n but_o from_o the_o vision_n of_o that_o god_n who_o know_v all_o thing_n but_o if_o by_o virtue_n of_o some_o revelation_n we_o be_v assure_v that_o our_o petition_n be_v reveal_v to_o the_o saint_n why_o do_v they_o not_o produce_v it_o why_o do_v t._n g._n confess_v that_o austin_n and_o other_o of_o the_o ancient_a father_n be_v uncertain_a what_o to_o determine_v in_o this_o case_n why_o do_v the_o great_a part_n of_o roman_a catholic_n
