namely_o omnipotence_n and_o omniscience_n and_o immense-presence_n answ_n this_o be_v the_o great_a popular_a argument_n that_o take_v so_o much_o with_o the_o weak_a sort_n of_o people_n who_o measure_n all_o thing_n by_o their_o own_o capacity_n and_o do_v not_o conceive_v how_o saint_n and_o angel_n shall_v hear_v at_o so_o great_a a_o distance_n because_o they_o can_v do_v so_o themselves_o it_o will_v be_v therefore_o requisite_a to_o take_v some_o pain_n to_o clear_v this_o difficulty_n and_o if_o it_o be_v possible_a to_o disabuse_v these_o simple_a but_o well-meaning_a people_n concern_v these_o gross_a and_o carnal_a thought_n which_o that_o i_o may_v the_o more_o plain_o do_v i_o shall_v lay_v down_o these_o know_v and_o evident_a ground_n 1._o that_o angel_n and_o saint_n in_o heaven_n have_v natural_o a_o faculty_n of_o understanding_n and_o communicate_v their_o thought_n that_o be_v a_o power_n connatural_a to_o their_o be_v of_o perceive_v the_o

angel_n and_o saint_n in_o heaven_n do_v neither_o see_v nor_o hear_v in_o the_o sense_n we_o common_o take_v these_o word_n for_o see_v they_o neither_o have_v eye_n nor_o ear_n which_o be_v the_o

3._o hence_o follow_v that_o saint_n and_o angel_n may_v hear_v that_o be_v understand_v we_o when_o we_o direct_v our_o thought_n to_o they_o at_o any_o distance_n even_o at_o ten_o million_o of_o miles_n as_o well_o as_o if_o they_o have_v be_v in_o the_o same_o room_n with_o we_o for_o since_o our_o word_n or_o thought_n be_v not_o convey_v to_o they_o by_o mean_n of_o any_o organ_n nor_o by_o the_o motion_n or_o impulse_n of_o the_o air_n as_o it_o happen_v with_o we_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o distance_n or_o nearness_n of_o place_n can_v have_v no_o part_n in_o their_o way_n of_o understanding_n 4._o that_o god-almighty_a be_v able_a to_o reveal_v in_o a_o instant_a all_o our_o prayer_n to_o the_o angel_n and_o saint_n be_v they_o never_o so_o far_o distant_a from_o we_o

to_o all_o intelligent_a being_n or_o that_o god_n reveal_v our_o thought_n to_o they_o we_o do_v not_o ascribe_v any_o of_o the_o incommunicable_a perfection_n of_o the_o divine_a nature_n to_o they_o namely_o omnipotence_n omniscience_n immense-presence_n etc._n etc._n not_o if_o we_o conceive_v that_o they_o understand_v our_o prayer_n by_o that_o natural_a faculty_n which_o be_v

that_o this_o say_v he_o be_v not_o a_o true_a representation_n of_o their_o doctrine_n will_v appear_v by_o these_o consideration_n 1._o that_o they_o pray_v continue_v he_o to_o the_o saint_n and_o

of_o which_o innumerable_a example_n add_v he_o may_v be_v give_v out_o of_o their_o public_a office_n particular_o in_o the_o office_n of_o the_o b._n virgin_n they_o pray_v to_o the_o angel_n thus_o
