oblige_v god_n to_o grant_v it_o to_o sinner_n who_o pray_v for_o it_o it_o must_v therefore_o be_v the_o occasional_a cause_n which_o oblige_v he_o to_o do_v it_o in_o consequence_n of_o the_o power_n give_v to_o this_o cause_n by_o the_o establishment_n of_o the_o general_a law_n of_o the_o order_n of_o grace_n because_o as_o i_o say_v before_o god_n never_o act_v but_o when_o the_o immutable_a order_n require_v it_o or_o when_o the_o occasional_a or_o particular_a cause_n oblige_v he_o to_o it_o but_o though_o christ_n alone_o as_o man_n be_v the_o particular_a cause_n of_o the_o good_a thing_n which_o we_o receive_v yet_o if_o the_o prayer_n of_o the_o church_n be_v always_o address_v direct_o to_o he_o this_o may_v give_v man_n some_o occasion_n of_o error_n and_o

the_o church_n have_v very_o great_a reason_n to_o address_v her_o prayer_n to_o god_n the_o only_a true_a cause_n but_o through_o christ_n who_o be_v the_o occasional_a and_o distributive_a cause_n of_o the_o good_a thing_n which_o we_o pray_v for_o for_o though_o sinner_n never_o receive_v grace_n but_o when_o christ_n pray_v for_o they_o by_o his_o desire_n either_o actual_a or_o habitual_a transient_a or_o permanent_a yet_o we_o must_v always_o remember_v that_o it_o be_v god_n alone_o who_o give_v it_o as_o the_o true_a cause_n that_o so_o our_o love_n and_o devotion_n may_v be_v ultimate_o refer_v to_o he_o alone_o nevertheless_o when_o we_o apply_v ourselves_o to_o the_o true_a and_o general_a cause_n it_o be_v the_o same_o thing_n as_o if_o we_o do_v it_o to_o the_o particular_a and_o distributive_a cause_n because_o christ_n as_o man_n be_v the_o saviour_n of_o sinner_n order_n require_v that_o he_o shall_v be_v acquaint_v with_o their_o prayer_n and_o he_o be_v so_o far_o from_o be_v jealous_a of_o the_o honour_n which_o we_o give_v to_o god_n that_o he_o himself_o as_o man_n always_o acknowledge_v his_o impotence_n and_o subordination_n and_o will_v never_o hear_v those_o who_o like_o the_o eutychian_o look_v upon_o his_o humane_a nature_n as_o transform_v into_o the_o divine_a and_o so_o take_v from_o he_o the_o quality_n of_o advocate_n mediator_n head_n of_o the_o church_n and_o high_a priest_n of_o the_o true_a good_n thus_o we_o see_v on_o one_o side_n that_o to_o make_v our_o prayer_n effectual_a it_o be_v not_o absolute_o necessary_a that_o we_o shall_v know_v the_o truth_n which_o i_o have_v here_o explain_v so_o precise_o and_o distinct_o and_o on_o the_o other_o that_o the_o church_n proceed_v agree_v perfect_o with_o the_o fundamental_a virtue_n of_o religion_n and_o morality_n namely_o that_o god_n alone_o be_v the_o final_a cause_n of_o all_o thing_n and_o that_o we_o can_v have_v access_n to_o he_o but_o by_o jesus_n christ_n our_o lord_n this_o i_o think_v will_v easy_o be_v grant_v v._o but_o the_o case_n of_o the_o bless_a virgin_n angel_n and_o saint_n have_v somewhat_o more_o difficulty_n in_o it_o nevertheless_o the_o sense_n of_o the_o church_n be_v that_o they_o know_v our_o necessity_n when_o we_o call_v upon_o they_o and_o that_o be_v in_o favour_n with_o god_n and_o unite_v to_o christ_n their_o head_n they_o may_v by_o their_o prayer_n and_o desire_n solicit_v he_o to_o deliver_v we_o from_o our_o misery_n nay_o it_o seem_v to_o be_v beyond_o dispute_n from_o the_o example_n of_o

their_o prayer_n be_v beneficial_a to_o their_o friend_n i_o see_v no_o sufficient_a reason_n to_o deny_v the_o saint_n in_o heaven_n this_o power_n only_o we_o must_v observe_v that_o they_o be_v not_o occasional_a cause_n of_o inward_a grace_n for_o this_o power_n be_v give_v to_o christ_n alone_o as_o the_o architect_n of_o the_o eternal_a temple_n the_o head_n of_o the_o church_n the_o necessary_a mediator_n in_o a_o word_n as_o the_o particular_a or_o distributive_a cause_n of_o the_o true_a good_n vi_o so_o then_o we_o may_v pray_v to_o the_o bless_a virgin_n to_o angel_n and_o saint_n that_o they_o will_v move_v the_o love_n of_o christ_n on_o our_o behalf_n and_o probable_o there_o be_v some_o certain_a time_n of_o favour_n for_o each_o particular_a saint_n such_o as_o be_v the_o day_n on_o which_o the_o church_n celebrate_v their_o festival_n it_o be_v possible_a also_o that_o as_o natural_a or_o occasional_a cause_n they_o may_v have_v a_o power_n of_o produce_v those_o effect_n which_o we_o call_v miraculous_a because_o we_o do_v not_o know_v the_o cause_n of_o they_o such_o as_o the_o cure_n of_o disease_n plentiful_a harvest_n and_o other_o extraordinary_a

action_n perfect_o virtuous_a we_o shall_v study_v the_o duty_n of_o man_n in_o general_n and_o take_v some_o time_n every_o day_n to_o examine_v the_o order_n and_o circumstance_n of_o they_o in_o particular_a i._o the_o action_n of_o those_o that_o have_v attain_v to_o the_o true_a and_o solid_a virtue_n be_v not_o therefore_o all_o solid_o and_o substantial_o virtuous_a there_o be_v in_o a_o manner_n always_o some_o deficiency_n or_o imperfection_n in_o they_o nay_o many_o time_n they_o be_v real_o sinful_a the_o reason_n of_o this_o be_v because_o a_o man_n do_v not_o always_o act_n by_o the_o influence_n of_o his_o predominant_a habit_n but_o sometime_o by_o the_o operation_n of_o the_o passion_n which_o be_v actual_o excite_v in_o he_o for_o if_o the_o predominant_a habit_n be_v asleep_a as_o i_o may_v say_v and_o the_o rest_n awake_v the_o action_n of_o a_o good_a man_n may_v be_v many_o way_n sinful_a but_o beside_o though_o the_o predominant_a habit_n of_o the_o love_n of_o order_n be_v actual_o excite_v in_o a_o good_a man_n yet_o at_o the_o same_o time_n his_o action_n may_v be_v defective_a and_o imperfect_a and_o even_o direct_o opposite_a to_o order_n which_o he_o actual_o love_v and_o design_n to_o follow_v for_o beside_o the_o difficulty_n of_o pay_v a_o exact_a obedience_n to_o the_o order_n which_o we_o do_v know_v indiscreet_a and_o ill_o govern_v zeal_n often_o make_v we_o act_n contrary_a to_o the_o order_n which_o we_o do_v not_o know_v wherefore_o that_o a_o action_n may_v be_v complete_o virtuous_a it_o be_v not_o sufficient_a that_o it_o proceed_v from_o a_o good_a man_n nor_o from_o a_o man_n actual_o move_v by_o the_o love_n of_o order_n but_o it_o must_v also_o be_v conformable_a to_o order_n in_o all_o its_o circumstance_n and_o that_o too_o not_o by_o a_o kind_n of_o chance_n lucky_o determine_v the_o actual_a motion_n of_o the_o soul_n but_o by_o the_o strength_n of_o reason_n guide_v and_o govern_v we_o in_o such_o a_o manner_n as_o to_o make_v we_o fulfil_v all_o our_o duty_n ii_o so_o then_o though_o it_o be_v sufficient_a to_o make_v we_o just_a and_o acceptable_a to_o god_n that_o the_o love_n of_o order_n be_v our_o predominant_a habit_n yet_o if_o we_o will_v be_v perfect_a and_o complete_a we_o must_v be_v able_a to_o govern_v this_o love_n by_o a_o exact_a knowledge_n of_o our_o duty_n nay_o i_o may_v say_v that_o he_o who_o neglect_v or_o slight_v this_o knowledge_n what_o zeal_n soever_o he_o may_v find_v within_o himself_o for_o order_n his_o heart_n be_v by_o no_o mean_n right_o dispose_v for_o order_n will_v be_v love_v by_o reason_n and_o not_o altogether_o by_o the_o heart_n and_o fervency_n of_o instinct_n which_o often_o fill_v with_o indiscreet_a zeal_n those_o who_o imagination_n be_v too_o brisk_a and_o lively_a who_o be_v not_o use_v to_o retire_v into_o themselves_o but_o be_v continual_o apt_a to_o mistake_v the_o secret_a inspiration_n of_o their_o passion_n for_o the_o infallible_a answer_n of_o the_o inward_a truth_n iii_o indeed_o those_o who_o mind_n be_v so_o weak_a and_o their_o passion_n so_o strong_a that_o they_o be_v not_o capable_a of_o give_v counsel_n to_o themselves_o or_o rather_o of_o take_v counsel_n of_o he_o who_o enlighten_v all_o man_n be_v excusable_a before_o god_n if_o they_o sincere_o desire_v and_o follow_v the_o advice_n of_o such_o as_o they_o believe_v to_o be_v the_o best_a and_o wise_a men._n but_o those_o who_o have_v or_o pretend_v to_o have_v wit_n and_o sense_n be_v guilty_a in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n if_o they_o undertake_v any_o design_n without_o consult_v he_o that_o be_v without_o consult_v reason_n how_o fervent_a soever_o the_o zeal_n may_v be_v which_o transport_v they_o for_o we_o must_v distinguish_v the_o answer_n of_o the_o inward_a truth_n which_o illuminate_v the_o mind_n by_o the_o evidence_n of_o its_o light_n from_o the_o language_n and_o secret_a inspiration_n of_o the_o passion_n which_o
