here_o be_v something_o of_o trick_n and_o artifice_n in_o this_o doctrine_n and_o practice_n but_o i_o humble_o inquire_v of_o you_o what_o be_v the_o true_a and_o honest_a account_n and_o reason_n of_o this_o whole_a matter_n what_o proof_n from_o scripture_n or_o what_o authority_n from_o prime_a antiquity_n for_o this_o practice_n quere_z v._o pray_v reverend_a father_n what_o be_v the_o meaning_n of_o that_o prayer_n which_o the_o bishop_n use_v in_o blessing_n and_o consecrate_v a_o new_a cross_n find_v in_o the_o pontifical_a viz._n we_o pray_v thou_o o_o lord_n etc._n etc._n that_o thou_o will_v vouchsafe_v to_o bless_v this_o wood_n of_o thy_o cross_n that_o it_o may_v be_v a_o wholesome_a remedy_n to_o mankind_n a_o stability_n of_o faith_n a_o increase_n of_o good_a work_n the_o redemption_n of_o soul_n a_o comfort_n protection_n and_o defence_n against_o the_o evil_a dart_n of_o the_o enemy_n through_o our_o lord_n &_o c._n and_o also_o of_o that_o hymn_n or_o prayer_n find_v in_o the_o brev._n sab._n ante_fw-la domin_n pass_n &_o fest_n invent_v crucis_fw-la hail_v o_o cross_n our_o only_a hope_n increase_v grace_n in_o the_o godly_a and_o blot_v out_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o guilty_a i_o profess_v reverend_a father_n these_o two_o prayer_n infinite_o trouble_v my_o mind_n for_o i_o can_v for_o my_o life_n understand_v but_o that_o we_o make_v the_o material_a wooden_a cross_n a_o object_n of_o divine_a worship_n and_o direct_o pray_v unto_o it_o or_o else_o that_o these_o prayer_n be_v perfect_a nonfence_n but_o be_v please_v to_o let_v i_o ask_v you_o a_o few_o question_n after_o the_o bishop_n have_v pray_v bless_v this_o wood_n be_v the_o cross_n still_o natural_a wood_n and_o the_o same_o it_o be_v before_o or_o be_v its_o nature_n change_v and_o alter_v and_o be_v there_o some_o virtue_n and_o excellency_n communicate_v to_o it_o else_o what_o mean_v these_o word_n bless_v this_o wood_n do_v we_o pray_v unto_o and_o worship_n this_o cross_n or_o that_o on_o which_o our_o b._n saviour_n be_v crucify_a but_o let_v it_o be_v which_o it_o will_v be_v it_o not_o gross_a idolatry_n to_o make_v either_o of_o they_o the_o object_n of_o adoration_n and_o direct_o to_o pray_v to_o either_o of_o they_o if_o we_o say_v that_o we_o do_v not_o pray_v to_o either_o of_o they_o nor_o make_v either_o of_o they_o the_o object_n of_o adoration_n but_o jesus_n christ_n who_o suffree_v upon_o the_o cross_n then_o where_o be_v the_o sense_n of_o this_o prayer_n bless_v this_o wood_n etc._n etc._n and_o hail_o o_o cross_n etc._n etc._n what_o a_o unhappiness_n be_v this_o and_o will_v not_o any_o rational_a man_n think_v the_o composer_n of_o our_o prayer_n and_o the_o church_n too_o be_v both_o of_o they_o constant_o infatuate_v to_o make_v choice_n of_o such_o word_n and_o expression_n in_o their_o prayer_n to_o god_n and_o our_o b._n saviour_n that_o to_o take_v and_o understand_v they_o in_o the_o sense_n and_o

and_o meaning_n of_o word_n and_o speech_n quere_z vi_o i_o inquire_v reverend_a father_n whether_o our_o distinguish_n and_o say_v we_o do_v not_o give_v divine_a worship_n terminative_o but_o relative_o and_o transient_o to_o a_o crucifix_n or_o to_o image_n etc._n etc._n will_v save_v we_o from_o idolatry_n any_o more_o than_o it_o do_v the_o heathen_n in_o their_o worship_n of_o the_o sun_n and_o wooden_a image_n and_o whether_o the_o same_o plea_n if_o it_o will_v excuse_v we_o from_o gross_a idolatry_n may_v not_o as_o well_o excuse_v they_o viz._n that_o we_o do_v not_o worship_v that_o crucifix_n or_o that_o image_n etc._n etc._n which_o we_o see_v and_o pray_v before_o but_o he_o who_o suffer_v on_o it_o or_o he_o who_o it_o represent_v so_o they_o we_o do_v not_o worship_v the_o sun_n or_o this_o image_n or_o statue_n but_o he_o who_o create_v the_o sun_n and_o the_o great_a god_n by_o this_o image_n and_o this_o statue_n sect_n v._o quere_z i._o pray_v reverend_a father_n what_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o ancient_o the_o people_n of_o our_o church_n use_v to_o pray_v thus_o grant_v unto_o we_o o_o lord_n that_o this_o oblation_n may_v profit_v the_o soul_n of_o thy_o servant_n leo_n and_o that_o afterward_o this_o contrary_a form_n be_v use_v grant_v unto_o we_o o_o lord_n that_o by_o the_o interest_n of_o thy_o servant_n leo_n this_o oblation_n may_v profit_v we_o be_v leo_n one_o of_o our_o pope_n and_o a_o saint_n in_o purgatory_n when_o the_o first_o form_n be_v use_v and_o be_v he_o out_o of_o purgatory_n and_o in_o heaven_n when_o the_o second_o form_n be_v use_v what_o infallible_a assurance_n have_v we_o that_o any_o soul_n be_v release_v out_o of_o purgatory_n and_o in_o particular_a that_o he_o be_v now_o out_o of_o purgatory_n and_o if_o we_o have_v not_o how_o come_v we_o to_o use_v this_o last_o form_n of_o prayer_n but_o pray_v reverend_a father_n deal_v ingenuous_o with_o i_o do_v glorious_a saint_n canonize_v and_o reign_v in_o heaven_n use_v to_o pass_v through_o purgatory_n fire_n be_v st._n monica_n st._n augustine_n mother_n in_o purgatory_n can_v you_o prove_v she_o be_v there_o or_o do_v you_o think_v and_o can_v you_o prove_v that_o st._n austin_n believe_v she_o there_o when_o he_o pray_v for_o she_o and_o if_o she_o be_v not_o in_o purgatory_n do_v it_o not_o prove_v that_o the_o ancient_n use_v to_o pray_v for_o the_o dead_a which_o yet_o they_o do_v not_o believe_v in_o purgatory_n why_o then_o do_v we_o pray_v for_o none_o but_o those_o we_o believe_v in_o purgatory_n where_o be_v our_o conformity_n to_o the_o belief_n and_o practice_n of_o the_o ancient_n in_o this_o matter_n quere_z ii_o do_v our_o church_n reverend_a father_n teach_v that_o all_o soul_n none_o except_v who_o be_v so_o happy_a to_o be_v save_v must_v and_o do_v pass_v through_o the_o fire_n of_o purgatory_n if_o she_o do_v and_o likewise_o that_o our_o prayer_n etc._n etc._n do_v help_v they_o how_o can_v we_o in_o charity_n justify_v our_o constant_a custom_n of_o not_o pray_v for_o the_o depart_v soul_n of_o protestant_n do_v we_o believe_v that_o the_o protestant_n live_v and_o die_v such_o be_v not_o final_o save_v but_o damn_v do_v not_o this_o sound_n harsh_a to_o christian_a charity_n and_o do_v not_o this_o our_o neglect_n of_o offer_v up_o prayer_n and_o say_v mass_n for_o their_o soul_n open_o declare_v to_o the_o world_n our_o uncharitableness_n and_o that_o we_o believe_v the_o soul_n of_o every_o person_n live_v and_o die_v in_o the_o reform_a religion_n be_v damn_v since_o we_o never_o fail_v of_o offer_v up_o prayer_n and_o mass_n for_o those_o soul_n of_o who_o we_o have_v the_o least_o hope_n of_o salvation_n quere_z iii_o do_v not_o you_o reverend_a father_n reckon_v the_o reform_a religion_n to_o be_v christian_a why_o then_o do_v you_o teach_v we_o to_o think_v and_o call_v it_o a_o new_a religion_n be_v the_o three_o creed_n the_o ten_o commandment_n the_o

of_o this_o be_v it_o not_o plain_a that_o god_n and_o our_o b._n saviour_n be_v the_o author_n of_o this_o religion_n but_o reverend_a father_n what_o if_o they_o shall_v ask_v we_o as_o sometime_o
