A42574 The primitive fathers no papists in answer to the Vindication of the Nubes testium : to which is added an historical discourse concerning invocation of saints, in answer to the challenge of F. Sabran the Jesuit, wherein is shewn that invocation of saints was so far from being the practice, that it was expresly [sic] against the doctrine of the primitive fathers. Gee, Edward, 1657-1730. 1688 (1688) Wing G459; ESTC R18594 102,715 146

that_o i_o hope_v there_o will_v be_v no_o dispute_n about_o they_o i_o will_v then_o with_o the_o help_n of_o they_o begin_v the_o examination_n of_o all_o that_o the_o jesuit_n have_v offer_v out_o of_o the_o primitive_a father_n in_o defence_n of_o invocation_n of_o saint_n and_o to_o let_v the_o jesuit_n see_v i_o be_o not_o afraid_a of_o their_o best_a argument_n i_o will_v answer_v that_o

the_o christian_a doctrine_n i_o have_v better_a reason_n the_o chief_a of_o which_o be_v that_o this_o doctrine_n of_o pray_v to_o angel_n and_o martyr_n be_v express_o contrary_a to_o the_o

that_o such_o and_o such_o be_v the_o true_a sense_n of_o the_o word_n and_o the_o doctrine_n of_o such_o or_o such_o a_o father_n and_o therefore_o since_o i_o be_v so_o very_o particular_a in_o my_o
