rather_o than_o another_o first_o then_o that_o catholic_n look_v upon_o the_o saint_n with_o a_o different_a regard_n from_o what_o the_o egyptian_n do_v their_o daemon_n be_v evident_a in_o that_o the_o egyptian_n believe_v they_o to_o be_v god_n which_o be_v far_o from_o the_o hearâ—_n of_o any_o catholic_n to_o believe_v of_o the_o angel_n and_o saint_n and_o it_o be_v no_o less_o evident_a that_o the_o address_n they_o make_v to_o they_o be_v different_a from_o those_o the_o egyptian_n make_v to_o those_o god_n because_o as_o origen_n say_v the_o invocation_n which_o celsus_n contend_v for_o be_v votiva_fw-la illis_fw-la sacrificia_fw-la reddere_fw-la to_o offer_v sacrifice_n to_o they_o which_o be_v due_a to_o god_n alone_o and_o that_o upon_o account_n that_o they_o have_v power_n to_o heal_v the_o disease_n of_o the_o part_n proper_a to_o themselves_o but_o the_o invocation_n which_o catholic_n make_v to_o the_o holy_a angel_n and_o saint_n be_v but_o to_o desire_v they_o as_o we_o do_v holy_a man_n upon_o earth_n to_o pray_v for_o we_o and_o therefore_o when_o the_o doctor_n say_v that_o if_o one_o of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n have_v be_v to_o answer_n celsus_n he_o must_v have_v tell_v he_o that_o the_o thing_n be_v rational_a which_o he_o say_v i_o must_v tell_v he_o that_o what_o he_o say_v be_v irrational_a and_o false_a because_o both_o the_o conceit_n they_o have_v of_o the_o angel_n and_o saint_n and_o the_o address_n they_o make_v to_o they_o as_o i_o have_v show_v be_v point_n blank_a opposite_a to_o those_o of_o the_o egyptian_n but_o now_o on_o the_o other_o side_n suppose_v the_o egyptian_n have_v the_o same_o conceit_n of_o their_o daemon_n which_o catholic_n have_v of_o the_o holy_a angel_n and_o saint_n and_o that_o they_o do_v no_o more_o but_o as_o catholic_n do_v desire_v they_o to_o pray_v for_o they_o to_o the_o supreme_a god_n will_v it_o follow_v that_o catholic_n may_v not_o desire_v the_o prayer_n of_o the_o saint_n and_o angel_n no_o more_o than_o because_o the_o egyptian_n erect_v temple_n and_o offer_v sacrifice_n to_o their_o great_a god_n osiris_n therefore_o catholic_n may_v not_o do_v the_o same_o to_o the_o very_a true_a god_n himself_o or_o because_o they_o make_v their_o solemn_a supplication_n to_o a_o false_a god_n therefore_o protestant_n may_v not_o offer_v up_o their_o prayer_n to_o the_o

here_o to_o signify_v the_o prayer_n we_o make_v to_o god_n as_o the_o author_n and_o giver_n of_o all_o good_a i_o grant_v it_o no_o less_o unlawful_a to_o sacrifice_v to_o saint_n and_o angel_n
