and_o so_o he_o show_v we_o that_o to_o be_v partaker_n of_o both_o together_o be_v two_o incompatible_a extremity_n to_o the_o end_n therefore_o to_o participate_v in_o the_o lord_n cup_n we_o be_v force_v to_o separate_v ourselves_o from_o the_o pope_n who_o maintain_v the_o cup_n of_o devil_n that_o be_v idolatry_n this_o then_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o our_o separation_n which_o who_o soever_o will_v judge_v without_o passion_n i_o be_o assure_v will_v find_v to_o be_v lawful_a this_o be_v in_o deed_n the_o matter_n of_o our_o separation_n and_o not_o the_o simple_a abuse_n neither_o the_o ceremony_n simple_o and_o much_o less_o the_o state_n of_o the_o clergy_n for_o the_o which_o thing_n there_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v any_o breach_n make_v in_o the_o church_n well_o may_v we_o in_o modesty_n require_v the_o correction_n of_o the_o abuse_n when_o there_o be_v any_o yet_o not_o therefore_o make_v a_o schism_n concern_v invocation_n of_o saint_n 7_o that_o be_v yet_o a_o other_o kind_n of_o superstition_n for_o this_o we_o know_v that_o all_o worship_n of_o god_n and_o divine_a service_n be_v contain_v under_o these_o two_o kind_n invocation_n and_o thanksgiving_n and_o this_o adoration_n or_o worship_n be_v so_o proper_a to_o god_n that_o it_o can_v not_o be_v transfer_v to_o any_o other_o as_o he_o say_v thou_o shall_v worship_v one_o god_n only_o and_o he_o only_o shall_v thou_o serve_v which_o be_v that_o kind_n of_o adoration_n and_o worship_n that_o ought_v to_o be_v reserve_v to_o god_n only_o and_o not_o transfer_v to_o other_o but_o in_o the_o religion_n term_v catholic_a they_o do_v no_o less_o transfer_v thanksgiving_n to_o the_o saint_n than_o invocation_n for_o they_o make_v their_o vow_n to_o saint_n and_o to_o pay_v vow_n and_o oblation_n be_v to_o celebrate_v thanksgiving_n and_o therefore_o it_o may_v be_v say_v that_o they_o transfer_v the_o whole_a worship_n unto_o they_o and_o so_o do_v no_o long_o worship_v one_o god_n only_o neither_o serve_v he_o alone_o but_o as_o concern_v worship_n and_o adoration_n do_v give_v he_o as_o many_o companion_n as_o there_o be_v saint_n who_o they_o invocate_v beside_o that_o sometime_o such_o a_o one_o be_v upon_o earth_n invocete_v for_o a_o saint_n as_o in_o deed_n be_v broil_v in_o hell_n fire_n &_o so_o may_v they_o find_v in_o hell_n some_o one_o who_o they_o make_v a_o companion_n of_o god_n in_o respect_n of_o worship_n and_o adoration_n neither_o will_v i_o say_v that_o idol_n be_v by_o s._n paul_n testimony_n 10._o devil_n the_o devil_n do_v cause_n themselves_o to_o be_v worship_v as_o saint_n in_o their_o stead_n again_o albeit_o it_o be_v not_o forbid_v yet_o since_o there_o be_v no_o commandment_n for_o it_o in_o the_o word_n that_o worship_n can_v not_o be_v according_a to_o the_o faith_n which_o come_v of_o the_o hear_n of_o the_o word_n and_o whatsoever_o be_v not_o of_o faith_n be_v sin_n 18._o as_o s._n paul_n witness_v and_o there_o can_v be_v

reprove_v the_o worship_v of_o angel_n which_o be_v as_o much_o as_o to_o reprove_v the_o worship_v of_o saint_n for_o they_o be_v the_o messenger_n of_o the_o will_n of_o god_n be_v comprise_v under_o the_o name_n of_o angel_n 1._o as_o we_o see_v in_o malachy_n 10_o who_o be_v call_v the_o angel_n of_o the_o lord_n 1_o it_o be_v also_o write_v of_o john_n baptist_n 7._o i_o will_v send_v my_o angel_n before_o thy_o face_n who_o shall_v prepare_v thy_o way_n 7._o and_o the_o seven_o bishop_n of_o the_o seven_o church_n of_o asia_n be_v call_v the_o seven_o angel_n of_o the_o seven_o congregation_n with_o many_o such_o other_o example_n infinite_o to_o be_v find_v in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n so_o that_o the_o saint_n be_v name_v angel_n under_o the_o prohibition_n of_o the_o worship_n of_o angel_n be_v contain_v the_o prohibition_n of_o the_o worship_n of_o saint_n 11._o the_o angel_n also_o as_o s._n peter_n teach_v be_v great_a than_o the_o saint_n and_o therefore_o if_o the_o worship_n of_o angel_n who_o be_v great_a than_o the_o saint_n be_v by_o s._n paul_n reprove_v how_o can_v the_o worship_v of_o image_n stand_v all_o such_o therefore_o be_v but_o vanity_n and_o superstition_n and_o the_o forsake_v of_o such_o matter_n be_v good_a so_o far_o be_v the_o abandon_v of_o they_o from_o be_v heresy_n true_a it_o be_v that_o some_o do_v bring_v in_o distinction_n as_o thus_o that_o they_o call_v not_o upon_o the_o saint_n for_o remission_n but_o for_o intercession_n whereto_o i_o answer_v that_o howsoever_o they_o call_v upon_o they_o or_o with_o whatsoever_o title_n it_o be_v yet_o be_v invocation_n still_o invocation_n adoration_n and_o worship_n and_o so_o still_o forbid_v by_o the_o commandment_n thou_o shall_v worship_v one_o god_n and_o he_o only_o shall_v thou_o serve_v neither_o can_v these_o distinction_n take_v place_n unless_o the_o holy_a scripture_n do_v express_o propound_v they_o no_o more_o than_o the_o distinction_n of_o honour_n latrie_n doulie_o or_o hyperdeulie_o and_o they_o be_v sufficient_o confute_v by_o deny_v only_o because_o there_o be_v no_o such_o matter_n contain_v throughout_o the_o holy_a scripture_n authentical_a to_o be_v brief_a we_o must_v call_v upon_o god_n only_o &_o not_o upon_o saint_n and_o to_o god_n only_o must_v we_o address_v our_o vow_n &_o not_o to_o saint_n some_o may_v object_v that_o the_o saint_n in_o heaven_n do_v know_v what_o be_v do_v upon_o earth_n yea_o and_o that_o they_o pray_v to_o god_n for_o us._n whereto_o i_o answer_v that_o the_o prophet_n be_v in_o the_o world_n know_v the_o general_a estate_n of_o the_o church_n and_o do_v better_o know_v it_o in_o heaven_n but_o they_o be_v no_o searcher_n of_o the_o heart_n for_o that_o be_v proper_a to_o god_n only_o and_o s._n paul_n say_v that_o no_o man_n know_v what_o be_v in_o man_n but_o the_o spirit_n of_o man_n which_o be_v in_o man_n himself_o wherefore_o the_o spirit_n of_o man_n which_o be_v in_o heaven_n do_v not_o know_v what_o be_v in_o the_o spirit_n or_o heart_n of_o man_n that_o be_v upon_o earth_n but_o he_o that_o be_v a_o mediator_n must_v know_v his_o heart_n &_o intent_n for_o who_o he_o intreat_v i_o will_v not_o deny_v but_o charity_n may_v move_v they_o to_o pray_v for_o we_o yet_o do_v hit_v not_o follow_v thereof_o that_o we_o shall_v call_v upon_o they_o since_o we_o have_v no_o such_o commandment_n as_o for_o prayer_n for_o the_o dead_a 8_o and_o the_o doctrine_n of_o purgatory_n it_o have_v foundation_n but_o upon_o the_o second_o book_n of_o maccabee_n the_o sixth_o
