to_o god_n alone_o to_o know_v our_o prayer_n especial_o when_o we_o pray_v mental_o the_o three_o be_v because_o if_o we_o do_v pray_v to_o any_o of_o the_o ss_z it_o be_v not_o but_o only_o in_o

as_o to_o be_v impetrate_v by_o he_o in_o the_o first_o manner_n we_o offer_v our_o prayer_n to_o god_n alone_o for_o that_o all_o our_o prayer_n ought_v to_o be_v ordain_v to_o obtain_v grace_n and_o

they_o to_o the_o last_o objection_n he_o answer_v that_o those_o who_o be_v in_o this_o world_n or_o in_o purgatory_n do_v not_o as_o yet_o enjoy_v the_o clear_a vision_n of_o the_o word_n that_o thereby_o they_o may_v know_v what_o â—e_v think_v or_o say_v and_o therefore_o we_o do_v not_o by_o prayer_n implore_v their_o suffrage_n but_o of_o those_o that_o live_v we_o ask_v by_o way_n of_o conference_n have_v show_v that_o it_o be_v lawful_a to_o pray_v to_o saint_n and_o in_o what_o manner_n we_o ought_v to_o address_v our_o petition_n unto_o they_o it_o will_v be_v needful_a alsoe_o to_o prove_v that_o they_o both_o may_v and_o do_v pray_v for_o we_o for_o otherwise_o if_o they_o neither_o can_v nor_o will_v intercede_v for_o we_o it_o be_v in_o vain_a to_o implore_v their_o assistance_n concern_v which_o s._n thomas_n above_o name_v frame_v five_o reason_n why_o it_o shall_v seem_v that_o the_o saint_n now_o in_o glory_n neither_o may_v nor_o do_v prey_n for_o us._n the_o first_o be_v because_o a_o act_n of_o any_o one_o be_v more_o meritorious_a for_o himself_o then_o for_o other_o but_o the_o saint_n now_o in_o glory_n do_v not_o merit_v nor_o pray_v for_o themselves_o because_o they_o be_v constitute_v in_o the_o end_n for_o which_o they_o be_v create_v nor_o consequent_o do_v they_o pray_v for_o us._n the_o second_o be_v because_o the_o saint_n do_v conform_v their_o will_n perfect_o to_o the_o will_n of_o god_n so_o that_o they_o desire_v nothing_o but_o what_o god_n will_v but_o that_o which_o god_n will_v be_v always_o fulfil_v wherefore_o it_o seem_v in_o vain_a that_o the_o saint_n shall_v pray_v for_o us._n the_o three_o be_v because_o as_o the_o saint_n in_o glory_n be_v in_o a_o more_o eminent_a degree_n than_o we_o so_o likewise_o be_v those_o that_o be_v in_o purgatory_n because_o they_o can_v now_o sin_v but_o those_o that_o be_v in_o purgatory_n do_v not_o pray_v for_o we_o but_o rather_o we_o for_o they_o nor_o consequent_o the_o saint_n in_o glory_n the_o four_o be_v because_o if_o the_o saint_n in_o glory_n do_v pray_v for_o we_o the_o prayer_n of_o the_o superior_a saint_n will_v be_v of_o great_a efficacy_n and_o consequent_o we_o ought_v not_o to_o implore_v the_o suffrage_n of_o the_o prayer_n of_o the_o inferior_a saint_n but_o only_o of_o the_o superior_a the_o five_o be_v because_o the_o soul_n of_o peter_n be_v not_o peter_n and_o therefore_o if_o the_o soul_n of_o the_o saint_n do_v pray_v for_o we_o while_o they_o be_v separate_v from_o their_o body_n we_o shall_v not_o entreat_v s._n peter_n but_o his_o soul_n to_o pray_v for_o we_o the_o contrary_a whereof_o the_o holy_a church_n do_v practice_v and_o therefore_o it_o shall_v seem_v that_o the_o saint_n at_o least_o before_o the_o resurrection_n do_v not_o pray_v for_o us._n notwithstanding_o this_o holy_a saint_n do_v hold_v the_o contrary_a to_o be_v true_a which_o he_o confirm_v by_o that_o of_o the_o maccabee_n this_o be_v he_o that_o pray_v much_o for_o the_o people_n and_o for_o the_o whole_a city_n jeremie_n the_o prophet_n of_o god_n afterward_o he_o explicate_v the_o state_n of_o the_o question_n as_o follow_v s._n jerome_n say_v he_o do_v affirm_v that_o it_o be_v the_o error_n of_o vigilantius_n the_o heretic_n that_o while_o we_o live_v we_o may_v mutual_o pray_v for_o one_o a_o other_o but_o after_o we_o be_v depart_v this_o life_n no_o man_n prayer_n for_o a_o other_o be_v hear_v especial_o since_o that_o the_o martyr_n do_v desire_v to_o have_v their_o blood_n revenge_v and_o can_v not_o obtain_v it_o but_o this_o opinion_n be_v altogether_o false_a for_o since_o that_o prayer_n exhibit_v for_o another_o do_v proceed_v from_o charity_n by_o how_o much_o the_o saint_n in_o the_o celestial_a country_n be_v of_o more_o perfect_a charity_n by_o so_o much_o the_o more_o do_v they_o pray_v for_o we_o that_o be_v but_o upon_o the_o way_n to_o beatitude_n and_o may_v have_v help_n by_o their_o prayer_n and_o by_o how_o much_o they_o be_v more_o immediate_o unite_v to_o god_n by_o so_o much_o the_o more_o be_v their_o prayer_n of_o great_a efficacy_n
