live_v for_o ever_o to_o make_v intercession_n for_o we_o as_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n do_v redeem_v we_o on_o the_o cross_n and_o cleanse_v we_o from_o our_o sin_n even_o so_o it_o be_v now_o able_a to_o save_v all_o they_o that_o come_v unto_o god_n by_o it_o for_o christ_n sit_v in_o heaven_n have_v a_o everlasting_a priesthood_n and_o always_o pray_v to_o his_o father_n for_o they_o that_o be_v penitent_a obtain_v by_o virtue_n of_o his_o wound_n which_o be_v evermore_o in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n not_o only_o perfect_a remission_n of_o our_o sin_n but_o also_o all_o other_o necessary_n that_o we_o lack_v in_o this_o world_n so_o that_o his_o only_a mediator_n be_v sufficient_a in_o heaven_n and_o need_v no_o other_o to_o help_v he_o why_o then_o do_v 2._o we_o pray_v one_o for_o another_o in_o this_o life_n some_o man_n perchance_o will_v here_o demand_v forsooth_o we_o be_v will_v so_o to_o do_v by_o the_o express_a commandment_n both_o of_o christ_n and_o his_o disciple_n to_o declare_v therein_o aswell_o the_o faith_n that_o we_o have_v in_o christ_n towards_o god_n as_o also_o the_o mutual_a charity_n that_o we_o bear_v one_o towards_o another_o in_o that_o we_o pity_v our_o brother_n case_n and_o make_v our_o humble_a petition_n to_o god_n for_o he_o but_o that_o we_o shall_v pray_v unto_o saintes_n neither_o have_v we_o any_o commandment_n in_o all_o the_o scripture_n nor_o yet_o example_n which_o we_o may_v safe_o follow_v so_o that_o be_v do_v without_o authority_n of_o god_n word_n it_o lack_v the_o ground_n of_o faith_n and_o therefore_o can_v not_o be_v acceptable_a before_o god_n for_o whatsoever_o be_v not_o of_o faith_n be_v sin_n and_o the_o apostle_n say_v 10._o that_o faith_n come_v by_o hear_v and_o hear_v by_o the_o word_n of_o god_n yet_o thou_o will_v object_v further_o that_o the_o saint_n in_o heaven_n do_v pray_v for_o we_o and_o that_o their_o prayer_n proceed_v of_o a_o earnest_a charity_n that_o they_o have_v towards_o their_o brethren_n on_o earth_n where_o to_o it_o may_v be_v well_o answer_v first_o that_o no_o man_n know_v whether_o they_o do_v pray_v for_o we_o or_o no._n and_o if_o any_o will_v go_v about_o to_o prove_v it_o by_o the_o nature_n of_o charity_n conclude_v that_o because_o they_o do_v pray_v for_o man_n on_o earth_n therefore_o they_o do_v much_o more_o the_o same_o now_o in_o heaven_n then_o may_v it_o be_v say_v by_o the_o same_o reason_n that_o as_o oft_o as_o we_o do_v weep_v on_o earth_n they_o do_v also_o weep_v in_o heaven_n because_o while_o they_o live_v in_o this_o world_n it_o be_v most_o certain_a and_o sure_a they_o do_v so_o and_o for_o that_o place_n which_o be_v write_v in_o the_o apocalips_n namely_o that_o the_o angel_n do_v offer_v up_o the_o prayer_n of_o the_o saint_n upon_o the_o golden_a altar_n it_o be_v proper_o mean_v and_o ought_v proper_o to_o be_v understand_v of_o those_o saint_n that_o be_v yet_o live_v on_o earth_n and_o not_o of_o they_o that_o be_v dead_a otherwise_o what_o need_n be_v it_o that_o the_o angel_n shall_v offer_v up_o their_o prayer_n be_v now_o in_o heaven_n before_o the_o face_n of_o aimightie_a god_n but_o admit_v the_o saint_n do_v pray_v for_o we_o yet_o do_v we_o not_o know_v how_o whether_o special_o for_o they_o which_o call_v upon_o they_o or_o else_o general_o for_o all_o man_n wish_v well_o to_o every_o man_n a_o like_a if_o they_o pray_v special_o for_o they_o which_o call_v upon_o they_o than_o it_o be_v like_a they_o hear_v our_o prayer_n and_o also_o know_v our_o heart_n desire_v which_o thing_n to_o be_v false_a it_o be_v already_o prove_v both_o by_o the_o scripture_n and_o also_o by_o the_o authority_n of_o augustine_n let_v we_o not_o therefore_o put_v our_o trust_n or_o confidence_n in_o the_o saint_n or_o martyr_n that_o be_v dead_a let_v we_o not_o call_v upon_o they_o nor_o desire_v help_n at_o their_o hand_n but_o let_v we_o always_o lift_v up_o our_o heart_n to_o god_o in_o the_o name_n of_o his_o dear_a son_n christ_n for_o who_o sake_n as_o god_n have_v promise_v to_o hear_v our_o prayer_n so_o he_o will_v true_o perform_v it_o invocation_n be_v a_o thing_n proper_a unto_o god_n which_o if_o we_o attribute_v unto_o the_o saint_n it_o sound_v to_o their_o reproach_n neither_o can_v they_o well_o bear_v it_o at_o our_o hand_n when_o paul_n have_v 14._o heal_v a_o certain_a lame_a man_n which_o be_v impotent_a in_o his_o foot_n at_o listra_n the_o people_n will_v have_v do_v sacrifice_n to_o he_o and_o barnabas_n who_o rent_v their_o clothes_n refuse_v it_o and_o exhort_v they_o to_o worship_v the_o true_a god._n likewise_o in_o the_o revelation_n when_o saint_n john_n fall_v before_o the_o angel_n foot_n to_o worship_v he_o the_o angel_n 19_o will_v not_o permit_v he_o to_o do_v it_o but_o command_v he_o that_o he_o shall_v worship_v god_n which_o example_n declare_v unto_o we_o that_o the_o saint_n and_o angel_n in_o heaven_n will_v not_o have_v we_o to_o do_v any_o honour_n unto_o they_o that_o be_v due_a and_o proper_a unto_o god_n he_o only_o be_v our_o father_n he_o only_o be_v omnipotent_a he_o only_o know_v and_o understand_v all_o thing_n he_o only_o can_v help_v we_o at_o all_o time_n and_o in_o all_o place_n he_o suffer_v the_o sun_n to_o shine_v upon_o the_o good_a and_o the_o bad_a he_o feed_v the_o young_a raven_n that_o cry_v unto_o he_o he_o save_v both_o man_n &_o beast_n he_o will_v not_o that_o any_o one_o here_o of_o our_o head_n shall_v perish_v but_o be_v always_o ready_a to_o help_v and_o preserve_v all_o they_o that_o put_v their_o trust_n in_o he_o accord_v as_o he_o have_v promise_v say_v before_o they_o call_v i_o will_v answer_v and_o while_o 55._o they_o speak_v i_o will_v hear_v let_v we_o not_o therefore_o any_o thing_n mistrust_v his_o goodness_n let_v we_o not_o fear_v to_o come_v before_o the_o throne_n of_o his_o mercy_n let_v we_o not_o seek_v the_o aid_n and_o help_v of_o saint_n but_o let_v we_o come_v bold_o ourselves_o nothing_o doubt_v but_o god_n for_o christ_n sake_n in_o who_o he_o be_v well_o please_v will_v hear_v we_o without_o a_o spoke_n man_n and_o accomplish_v our_o desire_n in_o all_o such_o thing_n as_o shall_v be_v agreeable_a to_o his_o most_o holy_a will_n so_o say_v chrisostome_n a_o ancient_a doctor_n of_o the_o euange_fw-mi church_n and_o so_o must_v we_o steadfast_o believe_v not_o because_o he_o say_v it_o but_o much_o more_o because_o it_o be_v the_o doctrine_n of_o our_o saviour_n christ_n himself_o who_o have_v promise_v that_o if_o we_o pray_v to_o the_o father_n in_o his_o name_n we_o shall_v certain_o be_v hear_v both_o to_o the_o relief_n of_o our_o necessity_n and_o also_o to_o the_o salvation_n of_o our_o soul_n which_o he_o have_v purchase_v unto_o we_o not_o with_o gold_n or_o silver_n but_o with_o his_o precious_a blood_n shed_v once_o for_o all_o upon_o the_o cross_n to_o he_o therefore_o with_o the_o father_n and_o the_o holy_a ghost_n three_o person_n and_o one_o god_n be_v all_o honour_n praise_n and_o glory_n for_o ever_o and_o ever_o amen_n the_o third_o part_n of_o the_o homily_n concern_v prayer_n you_o be_v teach_v in_o the_o other_o part_n of_o this_o sermon_n unto_o who_o you_o ought_v to_o directe_v your_o prayer_n in_o time_n of_o need_n and_o necessity_n that_o be_v to_o wit_n not_o unto_o angel_n or_o saint_n but_o unto_o the_o eternal_a and_o everliving_a god_n who_o because_o he_o be_v merciful_a be_v always_o ready_a to_o hear_v we_o when_o we_o call_v upon_o he_o in_o true_a &_o perfect_a faith_n and_o because_o he_o be_v omnipotent_a he_o can_v easy_o perform_v and_o bring_v to_o pass_v the_o thing_n that_o we_o request_v to_o have_v at_o his_o hand_n to_o doubt_v 5._o of_o his_o power_n it_o be_v a_o plain_a point_n of_o infidelity_n and_o clean_o against_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n which_o teach_v that_o he_o be_v all_o in_o all_o and_o as_o touch_v his_o good_a will_n in_o this_o behalf_n we_o have_v express_v testimony_n in_o scripture_n how_o that_o he_o will_v help_v we_o and_o also_o deliver_v we_o if_o we_o call_v upon_o he_o in_o time_n of_o trouble_n so_o that_o in_o both_o these_o respect_n we_o ought_v rather_o to_o call_v upon_o he_o then_o upon_o any_o other_o neither_o ought_v any_o man_n therefore_o to_o doubt_v to_o come_v bold_o unto_o god_n because_o he_o be_v a_o sinner_n for_o the_o lord_n as_o the_o prophet_n david_n say_v be_v gracious_a and_o merciful_a yea_o his_o
