in_o the_o time_n of_o celebration_n thus_o we_o see_v this_o place_n of_o s._n austin_n be_v full_a and_o clear_a against_o invocation_n of_o saint_n and_o we_o must_v now_o inquire_v into_o what_o he_o say_v elsewhere_o only_o we_o take_v notice_n here_o that_o s._n austin_n not_o only_o appropriate_n sacrifice_n as_o a_o thing_n peculiar_a to_o god_n but_o temple_n and_o altar_n too_o and_o that_o sacrifice_n which_o be_v then_o appropriate_v to_o god_n be_v not_o a_o propitiatory_a sacrifice_n but_o eucharistical_a and_o supplicatory_a and_o by_o consequence_n if_o sacrifice_n only_o belong_v to_o god_n than_o all_o thanksgiving_n and_o invocation_n do_v too_o for_o both_o those_o we_o see_v be_v comprehend_v by_o the_o african_a father_n under_o the_o notion_n of_o sacrifice_n 23._o we_o proceed_v now_o to_o inquire_v what_o s._n austin_n say_v elsewhere_o whether_o he_o do_v any_o where_o else_o allow_v invocation_n as_o due_a to_o saint_n for_o which_o we_o must_v consider_v that_o st._n austin_n every_o where_o appropriate_v all_o act_n of_o religion_n only_o to_o god_n for_o he_o express_o say_v that_o we_o must_v only_o ask_v of_o god_n that_o good_a which_o we_o hope_v to_o do_v 42._o that_o god_n alone_o must_v be_v serve_v by_o the_o soul_n because_o he_o alone_o be_v the_o creator_n of_o it_o and_o that_o every_o glorify_a rational_a creature_n be_v only_o to_o be_v love_v and_o imitate_v that_o we_o ought_v not_o to_o apply_v our_o religion_n to_o yield_v service_n to_o the_o dead_a that_o they_o must_v be_v honour_v for_o imitation_n not_o worship_v for_o religion_n that_o religion_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n and_o therefore_o we_o ought_v not_o to_o consecrate_v ourselves_o to_o any_o thing_n else_o by_o any_o religious_a rite_n that_o those_o who_o have_v go_v to_o angel_n instead_o of_o god_n have_v fall_v into_o many_o illusion_n and_o deceitful_a fancy_n now_o be_v it_o conceivable_a that_o a_o person_n constant_a to_o himself_o shall_v so_o often_o and_o on_o such_o good_a ground_n assert_v that_o all_o act_n of_o religion_n belong_v only_o to_o god_n and_o yet_o withal_o ascribe_v religious_a invocation_n as_o due_a either_o to_o saint_n or_o angel_n but_o we_o must_v further_o consider_v that_o the_o ground_n of_o s._n augustine_n distinguish_v between_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d and_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d be_v not_o to_o assert_v different_a degree_n of_o religious_a worship_n but_o to_o make_v different_a kind_n of_o worship_n of_o those_o two_o the_o one_o be_v proper_o religious_a worship_n the_o other_o only_a cultus_fw-la dilectionis_fw-la &_o societatis_fw-la as_o he_o call_v it_o a_o worship_n only_o of_o love_n and_o respect_n so_o that_o we_o quarrel_v not_o with_o the_o distinction_n itself_o but_o with_o your_o misapply_v it_o for_o st._n austin_n plain_o make_v the_o honour_n give_v to_o saint_n depart_v 21._o to_o be_v of_o the_o

after_o they_o have_v over_o come_v but_o still_o add_v that_o all_o religious_a worship_n be_v proper_a only_o to_o god_n the_o only_a difficulty_n than_o be_v what_o be_v to_o be_v understand_v by_o those_o other_o passage_n you_o produce_v out_o of_o he_o and_o this_o we_o have_v gain_v already_o that_o they_o can_v be_v understand_v of_o any_o religious_a worship_n without_o a_o apparent_a contradiction_n your_o first_o citation_n be_v that_o the_o commemoration_n of_o martyr_n at_o the_o holy_a table_n 34._o be_v not_o that_o we_o shall_v pray_v for_o they_o but_o rather_o that_o they_o shall_v pray_v for_o we_o to_o the_o same_o purpose_n the_o second_o be_v that_o it_o be_v a_o injury_n to_o pray_v for_o a_o martyr_n to_o who_o prayer_n we_o ourselves_o ought_v to_o be_v recommend_v the_o only_a thing_n which_o can_v be_v draw_v from_o hence_o be_v that_o the_o martyr_n do_v pray_v for_o the_o church_n on_o earth_n and_o that_o we_o ought_v to_o recommend_v ourselves_o to_o their_o prayer_n but_o what_o be_v this_o to_o a_o invocation_n of_o they_o when_o it_o do_v not_o so_o much_o as_o imply_v a_o direct_a desire_n of_o they_o to_o pray_v for_o we_o when_o this_o recommend_v ourselves_o to_o the_o prayer_n of_o the_o martyr_n be_v probable_o understand_v of_o nothing_o else_o but_o a_o desire_n that_o god_n will_v hear_v the_o prayer_n which_o the_o saint_n in_o heaven_n do_v make_v on_o our_o behalf_n without_o any_o address_n to_o the_o martyr_n themselves_o that_o they_o will_v pray_v for_o we_o which_o seem_v very_o unreasonable_a without_o good_a assurance_n that_o they_o do_v hear_v or_o understand_v those_o request_n of_o that_o nature_n which_o be_v make_v to_o they_o it_o be_v not_o therefore_o the_o say_n that_o the_o saint_n do_v pray_v for_o we_o which_o make_v it_o either_o lawful_a or_o profitable_a for_o we_o to_o pray_v to_o they_o for_o since_o they_o ascribe_v that_o honour_n as_o alone_o due_a to_o god_n so_o ought_v we_o to_o do_v too_o and_o i_o can_v hardly_o see_v how_o the_o very_a pray_v to_o saint_n to_o pray_v for_o we_o be_v perform_v with_o all_o the_o rite_n of_o solemn_a and_o religious_a

civil_a power_n have_v a_o right_a to_o meddle_v in_o ecclesiastical_a matter_n and_o though_o you_o express_v never_o so_o much_o honour_n to_o civil_a authority_n yet_o still_o you_o limit_v it_o

that_o which_o we_o assert_v be_v that_o prince_n may_v enact_v law_n concern_v religion_n and_o reform_v abuse_n in_o divine_a worship_n but_o we_o do_v not_o say_v they_o may_v take_v the_o pastoral_a office_n upon_o they_o and_o therefore_o you_o say_v no_o more_o in_o that_o than_o we_o do_v ourselves_o but_o when_o you_o say_v they_o may_v not_o reform_v religion_n in_o the_o substance_n of_o it_o i_o can_v well_o tell_v how_o to_o understand_v you_o if_o you_o mean_v not_o so_o reform_v religion_n as_o to_o take_v away_o any_o of_o the_o substance_n that_o be_v a_o

reformation_n if_o you_o mean_v not_o reform_v abuse_n which_o go_v under_o the_o name_n of_o the_o substance_n of_o religion_n that_o will_v be_v to_o make_v the_o most_o unsufferable_a abuse_n the_o
