will_v yield_v attentive_a ear_n unto_o my_o word_n 1_o i_o therefore_o say_v first_o as_o be_v prove_v elsewhere_o in_o this_o treatise_n that_o 18._o what_o writer_n so_o ever_o affirm_v any_o

our_o heart_n be_v right_o dispose_v and_o our_o prayer_n frame_v according_o as_o for_o example_n when_o it_o be_v say_v of_o some_o friend_n depart_v out_o
of_o this_o life_n god_n grant_v he_o a_o joyful_a resurrection_n which_o be_v the_o most_o orderly_a and_o plain_a form_n of_o pray_v for_o the_o dead_a 3_o i_o say_v three_o if_o one_o say_v god_n

pray_v consist_v not_o in_o the_o phrase_n and_o prayer_n itself_o but_o in_o the_o erronius_a affection_n of_o the_o party_n that_o so_o pray_v for_o the_o better_a understanding_n whereof_o we_o must_v observe_v 1_o first_o that_o it_o be_v lawful_a to_o pray_v for_o such_o thing_n as_o be_v very_o certain_a but_o not_o yet_o accomplish_v or_o bring_v to_o pass_v and_o consequent_o that_o it_o be_v lawful_a to_o pray_v for_o the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o body_n as_o also_o that_o the_o soul_n in_o the_o second_o advent_n may_v be_v unite_v again_o to_o the_o body_n that_o so_o the_o faithful_a may_v in_o complete_a manner_n be_v make_v partaker_n of_o the_o vision_n beatifical_a this_o observation_n be_v manifest_a by_o that_o prayer_n which_o our_o saviour_n himself_o pray_v who_o action_n as_o write_v the_o apostle_n be_v our_o instruction_n for_o our_o lord_n jesus_n pray_v for_o the_o salvation_n of_o his_o elect_a who_o neither_o 22._o shall_v nor_o can_v perish_v

and_o mortality_n of_o the_o body_n as_o the_o papist_n themselves_o do_v ever_o in_o their_o romish_a pardon_n understand_v by_o sin_n the_o pain_n due_a for_o sin_n which_o observation_n well_o

that_o such_o soul_n may_v be_v deliver_v out_o of_o purgatory_n or_o have_v remission_n of_o their_o sin_n which_o thing_n i_o will_v prove_v by_o two_o very_a sound_a foundation_n 1_o the_o one_o because_o such_o prayer_n or_o oblation_n be_v make_v for_o those_o who_o not_o only_o as_o the_o father_n believe_v but_o even_o as_o the_o papist_n themselves_o confess_v be_v then_o in_o heaven_n where_o they_o neither_o need_v nor_o can_v be_v relieve_v by_o such_o prayer_n or_o oblation_n 2_o the_o other_o because_o the_o father_n have_v ackowledge_v so_o much_o by_o express_a word_n in_o their_o writing_n 1_o the_o former_a foundation_n be_v evident_a in_o the_o liturgy_n of_o s._n chrisostom_n 1377._o who_o there_o offer_v his_o sacrifice_n of_o thanks_n give_v for_o the_o prophet_n apostle_n martyr_n and_o for_o our_o bless_a lady_n the_o holy_a virgin_n marie_n who_o all_o i_o be_o well_o assure_v the_o papist_n will_v confess_v to_o have_v be_v in_o heaven_n long_o afore_o saint_n chrysostome_n be_v bear_v 2_o the_o second_o foundation_n be_v plain_o confess_v by_o saint_n ambrose_n who_o in_o his_o funeral_n oration_n for_o the_o emperor_n theodosius_n and_o
