only_o with_o the_o service_n of_o latria_n but_o may_v we_o not_o serve_v the_o saint_n with_o the_o service_n of_o dulia_n a._n the_o word_n of_o god_n admit_v not_o of_o this_o distinction_n and_o gal._n 4.8_o st._n paul_n condemn_v the_o pagan_n that_o they_o give_v service_n of_o dulia_n to_o those_o which_o by_o nature_n be_v no_o god_n now_o however_o excellent_a the_o saint_n be_v yet_o they_o be_v not_o by_o nature_n go_n q._n but_o why_o may_v we_o not_o as_o well_o pray_v to_o the_o saint_n in_o heaven_n as_o we_o desire_v the_o prayer_n of_o believer_n here_o on_o earth_n a._n because_o we_o can_v pray_v to_o saint_n which_o be_v at_o such_o a_o great_a distance_n from_o we_o and_o have_v not_o ear_n to_o hear_v our_o voice_n but_o we_o must_v acknowledge_v they_o to_o be_v searcher_n of_o our_o heart_n and_o to_o know_v the_o intend_a thought_n of_o our_o soul_n which_o be_v to_o attribute_v to_o the_o creature_n that_o which_o be_v only_o due_a to_o the_o creator_n 2._o chron._n 6.30_o for_o thou_o only_o know_v the_o heart_n of_o the_o child_n of_o man_n q._n it_o be_v true_a there_o be_v none_o but_o god_n that_o can_v immediate_o know_v the_o heart_n of_o man_n but_o saint_n may_v know_v they_o when_o god_n reveal_v they_o to_o they_o as_o he_o do_v to_o elisha_n what_o his_o servant_n gehazi_n do_v to_o nahaman_n 2_o king_n 5.26_o a._n i_o grant_v god_n can_v do_v it_o but_o it_o be_v not_o sufficient_a to_o pray_v in_o faith_n that_o we_o be_v assure_v of_o the_o power_n of_o god_n but_o likewise_o of_o his_o will_n but_o we_o be_v so_o far_o from_o have_v ground_n to_o believe_v that_o god_n will_v reveal_v the_o prayer_n of_o man_n here_o below_o to_o the_o saint_n in_o heaven_n that_o on_o the_o contrary_a the_o scripture_n tell_v eccles_n 9.5.6_o that_o they_o have_v no_o more_o portion_n for_o ever_o in_o any_o thing_n that_o be_v do_v under_o the_o sun_n and_o therefore_o elijah_n bid_v elisha_n ask_v what_o he_o will_v before_o he_o be_v take_v away_o 2_o king_n 2.9_o presuppose_v that_o it_o will_v be_v in_o vain_a to_o ask_v he_o any_o thing_n after_o and_o god_n have_v extraordinary_o make_v a_o revelation_n of_o this_o kind_n to_o one_o of_o his_o prophet_n to_o give_v authority_n to_o his_o ministry_n can_v be_v draw_v into_o a_o general_a consequence_n for_o all_o saint_n q._n nevertheless_o it_o will_v seem_v that_o see_a god_n who_o know_v all_o thing_n they_o shall_v see_v all_o thing_n in_o god_n as_o in_o a_o glass_n a._n that_o do_v not_o follow_v for_o the_o angel_n who_o see_v the_o face_n of_o god_n know_v not_o the_o time_n of_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n matth._n 24.36_o and_o if_o they_o who_o see_v god_n shall_v see_v all_o that_o god_n see_v and_o know_v they_o will_v become_v god_n see_v that_o they_o will_v have_v infinite_a knowledge_n saint_n see_v nothing_o in_o god_n but_o what_o be_v necessary_a to_o make_v they_o happy_a q._n yet_o jesus_n christ_n say_v luke_n 15.7_o that_o there_o be_v great_a joy_n in_o heaven_n over_o a_o sinner_n that_o repent_v than_o saint_n must_v know_v the_o repentance_n of_o sinner_n and_o consequent_o their_o thought_n and_o inclination_n a._n jesus_n christ_n speak_v not_o of_o saint_n but_o of_o angel_n as_o he_o explain_v himself_o verse_n 10._o saying_n there_o be_v joy_n in_o the_o presence_n of_o the_o angel_n of_o god_n over_o one_o sinner_n that_o repenteh_a now_o we_o need_v not_o wonder_v that_o the_o angel_n have_v some_o knowledge_n of_o man_n repentance_n since_o they_o be_v send_v hither_o for_o that_o end_n as_o the_o apostle_n tell_v we_o hebr._fw-la 1.14_o be_v they_o not_o all_o minister_a spirit_n send_v forth_o to_o minister_v for_o they_o who_o shall_v be_v heir_n of_o salvation_n q._n but_o what_o say_v you_o of_o the_o letter_n elija_n write_v to_o joram_n after_o he_o be_v take_v up_o into_o heaven_n 2_o chron._n 21.12_o a._n that_o elija_n write_v not_o that_o letter_n after_o he_o be_v take_v up_o but_o before_o have_v write_v it_o by_o a_o spirit_n of_o prophecy_n and_o leave_v it_o on_o the_o earth_n and_o so_o be_v give_v afterward_o to_o joram_n by_o some_o prophet_n to_o who_o elijah_n have_v commit_v it_o q._n nevertheless_o glorify_v saint_n must_v have_v some_o knowledge_n of_o the_o condition_n of_o believer_n here_o on_o earth_n since_o they_o take_v care_n for_o their_o salvation_n and_o st._n peter_n promise_v to_o believer_n 2_o epist_n 1.15_o that_o after_o his_o death_n he_o will_v endeavour_v that_o they_o may_v remember_v the_o thing_n that_o he_o have_v teach_v they_o a._n this_o passage_n be_v not_o well_o and_o right_o translate_v so_o for_o st._n peter_n say_v not_o that_o he_o will_v endeavour_v after_o his_o death_n that_o believer_n shall_v remember_v those_o thing_n but_o that_o they_o shall_v remember_v they_o after_o his_o death_n q._n at_o least_o it_o be_v lawful_a to_o serve_v and_o pray_v to_o angel_n which_o assist_v we_o and_o be_v near_o to_o we_o a._n not_o at_o all_o for_o revel_v 22.9_o and_o 19.10_o st._n john_n be_v go_v to_o worship_n the_o angel_n and_o the_o angel_n rebuke_v he_o and_o take_v he_o up_o say_v see_v thou_o do_v it_o not_o i_o be_o thy_o fellow_n servant_n worship_n god_n and_o st._n paul_n reject_v worship_v of_o angel_n as_o superstition_n col._n 2.18_o let_v no_o man_n beguile_v you_o of_o your_o reward_n in_o a_o voluntary_a humility_n and_o worship_v of_o angel_n intrude_a into_o those_o thing_n which_o he_o have_v not_o see_v q._n yet_o we_o see_v that_o under_o the_o old_a testament_n believer_n have_v often_o worship_v angel_n and_o pray_v to_o they_o abraham_n bow_v himself_o towards_o the_o ground_n before_o they_o and_o a_o little_a after_o lott_n gen._n 18._o and_o 19_o a._n i_o answer_v abraham_n and_o lott_n do_v not_o think_v they_o be_v angel_n but_o man_n that_o be_v stranger_n for_o who_o they_o make_v ready_a meat_n therefore_o this_o homage_n be_v only_o civil_a and_o accord_v to_o the_o eastern_a custom_n when_o they_o meet_v one_o another_o but_o when_o they_o know_v one_o of_o they_o be_v the_o lord_n they_o worship_v he_o and_o pray_v to_o he_o likewise_o as_o god_n q._n what_o think_v you_o of_o this_o passage_n in_o gen._n 48.16_o where_o jacob_n die_v bless_v after_o this_o manner_n the_o child_n of_o joseph_n the_o angel_n which_o

this_o passage_n jacob_n pray_v to_o a_o angel_n and_o that_o he_o will_v have_v the_o child_n of_o joseph_n pray_v to_o abraham_n and_o isaac_n a._n i_o answer_v this_o be_v not_o create_v angel_n but_o jesus_n christ_n who_o malachi_n call_v the_o angel_n of_o the_o covenant_n chap._n 3.1_o and_o one_o of_o those_o that_o appear_v to_o abraham_n and_o lott_n who_o be_v oft_o time_n in_o the_o 18._o and_o 19_o ch._n of_o genesis_n call_v the_o lord_n and_o he_o with_o who_o jacob_n wrestle_v hosea_n 12.3_o 4._o the_o prophet_n say_v jacob_n by_o his_o strength_n have_v power_n with_o god_n yea_o he_o have_v power_n over_o the_o angel_n and_o prevail_v and_o jacob_n desire_v that_o his_o name_n and_o the_o name_n of_o his_o father_n shall_v be_v name_v on_o the_o child_n of_o joseph_n be_v not_o that_o he_o will_v have_v they_o to_o pray_v to_o he_o and_o his_o father_n but_o that_o the_o child_n of_o joseph_n to_o wit_n ephraim_n and_o manasseh_n shall_v be_v call_v by_o his_o name_n as_o child_n of_o jacob_n and_o be_v partaker_n with_o they_o as_o two_o different_a tribe_n which_o be_v observe_v when_o the_o land_n of_o canaan_n be_v divide_v but_o beside_o this_o it_o be_v in_o vain_a for_o the_o doctor_n of_o the_o roman_a church_n to_o allege_v passage_n out_o of_o the_o old_a testament_n for_o the_o invocation_n of_o saint_n since_o they_o think_v that_o the_o saint_n be_v shut_v up_o in_o the_o limboes_n of_o the_o father_n and_o do_v not_o then_o see_v the_o face_n of_o god_n which_o be_v the_o principal_a ground_n they_o have_v for_o their_o invocation_n of_o saint_n sect_n xii_o of_o the_o intercession_n of_o saint_n quest_n we_o be_v miserable_a sinner_n how_o can_v we_o draw_v near_o to_o the_o divine_a majesty_n if_o we_o do_v not_o employ_v
