world_n make_v a_o flourish_n to_o the_o contrary_a express_o confess_v that_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o patriarch_n and_o prophet_n before_o the_o come_n of_o christ_n be_v not_o so_o worship_v and_o call_v upon_o as_o the_o apostle_n and_o martyr_n now_o be_v because_o as_o yet_o they_o be_v detain_v in_o those_o infernal_a prison_n where_o they_o have_v not_o the_o beatifical_a sight_n of_o god_n now_o if_o the_o patriarch_n than_o see_v the_o face_n of_o god_n as_o far_o forth_o as_o the_o saint_n do_v now_o as_o indeed_o they_o do_v the_o argument_n be_v so_o much_o the_o strong_a if_o yet_o all_o that_o while_o they_o be_v never_o call_v upon_o in_o the_o new_a testament_n likewise_o we_o find_v no_o warrant_n for_o it_o even_o by_o their_o own_o confession_n and_o salmeron_n the_o jesuite_n render_v reason_n thereof_o for_o say_v he_o the_o jew_n that_o never_o have_v call_v upon_o any_o of_o the_o patriarch_n or_o prophet_n will_v hardly_o have_v be_v draw_v to_o pray_v unto_o those_o new_a saint_n &_o the_o gentile_n will_v have_v think_v that_o instead_o of_o those_o many_o god_n which_o they_o have_v forsake_v a_o multitude_n of_o other_o god_n have_v be_v put_v upon_o they_o as_o for_o the_o time_n after_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n it_o be_v long_o before_o it_o creep_v into_o the_o church_n and_o when_o it_o enter_v it_o be_v but_o the_o opinion_n of_o some_o private_a man_n and_o not_o the_o public_a doctrine_n of_o the_o church_n all_o the_o father_n which_o prove_v the_o deity_n of_o the_o son_n &_o of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n by_o this_o duty_n of_o invocation_n must_v needs_o if_o they_o will_v not_o contradict_v themselves_o be_v against_o it_o so_o must_v they_o also_o and_o they_o be_v not_o the_o least_o or_o mean_a part_n of_o they_o who_o hold_v that_o the_o faithful_a hence_o depart_v be_v not_o admit_v into_o heaven_n but_o continue_v elsewhere_o in_o some_o secret_a receptacle_n without_o the_o vision_n of_o god_n until_o the_o

the_o blind_a time_n of_o superstition_n oversway_v true_a devotion_n the_o cafe_z then_o stand_v thus_o that_o invocation_n of_o saint_n and_o angel_n be_v neither_o necessary_a nor_o pious_a nor_o profitable_a but_o rather_o impious_a and_o extreme_o dangerous_a as_o be_v derogatory_n to_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n &_o the_o honour_n of_o christ_n mediation_n and_o that_o no_o ground_n or_o warrant_v at_o all_o can_v be_v find_v for_o it_o either_o in_o the_o old_a or_o new_a testament_n or_o in_o the_o write_n and_o practice_n of_o those_o holy_a father_n who_o flourish_v when_o the_o church_n be_v in_o her_o primitive_a purity_n the_o case_n i_o say_v thus_o stand_v our_o safe_a course_n will_v be_v to_o follow_v the_o precedence_n and_o direction_n of_o our_o bless_a saviour_n and_o with_o he_o to_o address_v ourselves_o unto_o our_o heavenly_a father_n and_o to_o none_o other_o it_o be_v he_o alone_o who_o at_o all_o time_n can_v both_o hear_v and_o help_v neither_o be_v he_o more_o able_a than_o ready_a and_o willing_a to_o grant_v our_o request_n if_o we_o come_v unto_o he_o in_o his_o son_n name_n night_n and_o day_n he_o stretch_v out_o his_o arm_n towards_o we_o he_o invite_v we_o with_o all_o lovingnesse_n to_o come_v unto_o he_o he_o charge_v and_o command_v we_o in_o all_o our_o need_n and_o necessity_n to_o direct_v our_o prayer_n immediate_o unto_o he_o let_v we_o not_o therefore_o solicit_v any_o other_o mediator_n or_o spokesman_n for_o we_o as_o if_o we_o doubt_v of_o his_o fatherly_a goodness_n and_o affection_n towards_o we_o but_o let_v we_o rather_o come_v direct_o with_o all_o boldness_n unto_o the_o throne_n of_o grace_n 4.16_o to_o the_o end_n we_o may_v obtain_v mercy_n and_o find_v grace_n to_o be_v holpen_v in_o due_a season_n so_o to_o do_v be_v not_o presumption_n but_o faith_n and_o duty_n and_o so_o much_o for_o the_o first_o part_n of_o our_o saviour_n prayer_n quem_fw-la orat_fw-la to_o who_o he_o pray_v the_o second_o be_v pro_fw-la quibus_fw-la orat_fw-la for_o who_o he_o pray_v he_o pray_v for_o the_o church_n mystical_a as_o some_o term_n it_o or_o as_o it_o may_v more_o fit_o be_v call_v for_o christ_n mystical_a that_o be_v the_o whole_a body_n consist_v both_o of_o the_o head_n which_o be_v christ_n and_o all_o the_o rest_n of_o his_o member_n that_o it_o may_v more_o fit_o be_v call_v christ_n mystical_a we_o have_v the_o warrant_n of_o s._n paul_n who_o express_o call_v it_o so_o as_o say_v he_o the_o body_n be_v one_o and_o have_v many_o member_n 1●_n and_o all_o the_o member_n of_o one_o body_n though_o they_o be_v many_o yet_o be_v one_o body_n even_o so_o be_v christ_n where_o by_o christ_n nothing_o can_v be_v mean_v but_o the_o whole_a consist_v both_o of_o head_n and_o member_n have_v the_o church_n as_o it_o be_v distinguish_v against_o the_o head_n be_v understand_v he_o will_v have_v say_v as_o st_n austin_n observe_v 31_o ita_fw-la &_o christi_fw-la so_o be_v christ_n

&_o corpus_fw-la call_v both_o the_o head_n and_o the_o body_n one_o christ._n the_o same_o do_v st_n austin_n elsewhere_o also_o observe_v upon_o those_o word_n of_o the_o apostle_n he_o say_v not_o and_o to_o seed_n as_o speak_v of_o many_o 142._o but_o as_o of_o one_o and_o to_o thy_o seed_n which_o be_v christ._n now_o say_v he_o some_o perhaps_o will_v say_v if_o christ_n be_v the_o seed_n of_o abraham_n be_v we_o so_o also_o remember_v that_o christ_n be_v the_o seed_n of_o abraham_n and_o if_o by_o this_o we_o also_o be_v the_o seed_n of_o abraham_n then_o be_v we_o also_o christ._n unto_o this_o warrant_n of_o scripture_n add_v we_o the_o reason_n thereof_o that_o christ_n and_o his_o church_n be_v twain_o and_o yet_o constitute_v but_o one_o mystical_a body_n it_o be_v fit_a the_o denomination_n of_o the_o whole_a shall_v be_v take_v from_o the_o better_o and_o more_o worthy_a part_n which_o be_v christ_n and_o not_o the_o inferior_a which_o be_v the_o church_n but_o of_o this_o by_o the_o way_n for_o christ_n mystical_a then_o do_v our_o saviour_n pray_v but_o first_o for_o himself_o and_o then_o for_o his_o member_n for_o himself_o from_o hence_o unto_o the_o nine_o verse_n for_o his_o member_n from_o thence_o unto_o the_o end_n of_o the_o chapter_n if_o any_o demand_v a_o reason_n of_o this_o order_n i_o answer_v first_o christ_n be_v the_o more_o worthy_a person_n 1.18_o for_o he_o be_v emanuel_n god-man_n appoint_v by_o his_o father_n to_o be_v the_o head_n of_o the_o church_n and_o in_o all_o thing_n to_o have_v the_o pre-eminence_n and_o therefore_o as_o he_o have_v in_o our_o creed_n before_o the_o church_n so_o in_o this_o prayer_n also_o he_o deserve_v to_o have_v precedency_n second_o he_o know_v it_o can_v not_o go_v well_o with_o his_o church_n unless_o first_o it_o go_v well_o with_o himself_o for_o under_o his_o father_n he_o be_v to_o be_v the_o fountain_n of_o life_n and_o grace_n the_o universal_a cause_n of_o all_o good_a unto_o his_o church_n and_o to_o this_o end_n be_v he_o to_o be_v anoint_v of_o the_o spirit_n without_o stint_n or_o measure_n 133.2_o so_o that_o unless_o the_o ointment_n be_v pour_v upon_o aaron_n head_n it_o can_v descend_v unto_o the_o beard_n and_o from_o thence_o unto_o the_o skirt_n of_o his_o garment_n 1.16_o and_o unless_o christ_n be_v first_o replenish_v himself_o we_o can_v of_o his_o fullness_n receive_v either_o grace_n for_o grace_n or_o glory_n for_o glory_n that_o therefore_o it_o may_v go_v well_o with_o we_o he_o pray_v first_o for_o himself_o but_o then_o in_o the_o next_o place_n he_o make_v suit_n for_o his_o church_n as_o if_o without_o her_o welfare_n it_o can_v not_o be_v well_o with_o he_o for_o as_o for_o she_o he_o be_v incarnate_a so_o without_o she_o he_o count_v himself_o imperfect_a for_o so_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v if_o as_o st_n paul_n say_v she_o be_v 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d the_o fullness_n of_o he_o that_o fill_v all_o in_o all_o the_o
