may_v assist_v we_o with_o his_o charitable_a intercession_n but_o we_o pray_v for_o other_o that_o be_v to_o say_v for_o all_o they_o of_o who_o actual_a felicity_n the_o church_n have_v not_o yet_o attain_a a_o secure_a and_o infallible_a persuasion_n otherwise_o if_o she_o know_v that_o they_o be_v in_o present_a possession_n of_o joy_n it_o be_v as_o great_a as_o injury_n to_o pray_v for_o they_o also_o as_o for_o the_o martyr_n themselves_o since_o the_o reason_n why_o she_o pray_v not_o for_o martyr_n be_v because_o she_o be_v confident_o resolve_v that_o they_o be_v in_o heaven_n stand_v not_o in_o any_o exigence_n of_o her_o devotion_n wherefore_o since_o the_o catholic_n church_n pray_v for_o other_o man_n as_o not_o be_v in_o heaven_n or_o not_o certain_o know_v to_o be_v

&_o that_o therefore_o bellarmine_n do_v not_o trifle_n in_o this_o issue_n 5._o for_o we_o must_v distinguish_v here_o betwixt_o this_o action_n which_o be_v perform_v by_o the_o church_n and_o her_o

to_o conceive_v not_o only_o in_o regard_n of_o his_o excellent_a understanding_n but_o also_o by_o a_o plain_n and_o substantial_a overture_n in_o his_o own_o work_n for_o 6._o for_o de_fw-fr

scripture_n yet_o there_o be_v no_o small_a authority_n of_o the_o universal_a church_n which_o shine_v in_o this_o custom_n for_o in_o the_o prayer_n of_o the_o priest_n which_o he_o pour_v forth_o to_o god_n at_o his_o altar_n the_o commendation_n of_o the_o dead_a have_v its_o place_n 4._o here_o three_o thing_n occur_v unto_o my_o ponderation_n first_o that_o s._n augustine_n do_v justify_v

it_o why_o do_v d._n humphrey_n pretend_v the_o contrary_a in_o this_o place_n 5._o second_o s._n augustine_n make_v mention_v here_o of_o the_o old_a scripture_n whereby_o he_o intimate_v that_o in_o the_o new_a testament_n some_o relief_n for_o the_o dead_a be_v either_o plain_o express_v or_o sufficient_o etc._n sufficient_o see_v before_o pag._n â—_o etc._n etc._n deduce_v from_o thence_o three_o s._n augustine_n adjoin_v the_o church_n unto_o the_o scripture_n &_o because_o there_o be_v impeachable_a sovereignty_n in_o the_o universal_a church_n therefore_o he_o say_v that_o if_o
