than_o to_o the_o reasonableness_n of_o the_o petition_n or_o to_o the_o circumstance_n of_o the_o person_n in_o who_o behalf_n it_o be_v make_v beside_o that_o we_o have_v no_o reason_n to_o believe_v that_o either_o the_o angel_n or_o the_o saint_n depart_v be_v privy_a to_o our_o thought_n or_o that_o they_o concern_v themselves_o any_o otherwise_o than_o as_o the_o first_o of_o these_o

the_o schoolman_n have_v be_v please_v to_o tell_v we_o that_o the_o saint_n behold_v the_o prayer_n and_o the_o necessity_n of_o their_o votary_n below_o in_o the_o beatifical_a vision_n or_o in_o the_o face_n of_o the_o divine_a glory_n which_o they_o fancy_n like_o a_o glass_n wherein_o the_o want_v and_o misery_n of_o the_o creature_n may_v be_v see_v for_o it_o be_v plain_a that_o this_o be_v a_o very_a dull_a and_o heavy_a imagination_n and_o very_o unworthy_a the_o majesty_n of_o god_n beside_o that_o if_o he_o do_v not_o only_o know_v as_o he_o do_v the_o want_n of_o all_o his_o

he_o have_v take_v such_o particular_a cognizance_n of_o the_o desire_n and_o want_v of_o all_o his_o creature_n but_o it_o be_v still_o more_o detestable_a in_o the_o practice_n of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n that_o so_o long_a a_o beadroll_z of_o saint_n shall_v be_v invoke_v by_o a_o rabble_n of_o worshipper_n in_o a_o solemn_a procession_n as_o if_o neither_o they_o nor_o god_n can_v be_v prevail_v upon_o without_o abundance_n of_o importunity_n and_o clamour_n a_o man_n will_v think_v that_o place_n of_o the_o colossian_n may_v have_v be_v a_o sufficient_a antidote_n for_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n to_o preserve_v she_o from_o the_o poison_n of_o this_o foolish_a heresy_n let_v no_o man_n beguile_v you_o of_o your_o reward_n in_o a_o voluntary_a humility_n and_o worship_v of_o angel_n intrude_a into_o those_o thing_n which_o he_o have_v not_o see_v vain_o puff_v up_o in_o his_o fleshly_a mind_n for_o if_o the_o worship_n of_o angel_n be_v forbid_v who_o be_v a_o superior_a sort_n of_o creature_n that_o be_v suppose_v to_o have_v a_o more_o familiar_a correspondence_n and_o a_o nigh_a access_n to_o their_o maker_n then_o certain_o that_o of_o saint_n or_o soul_n depart_v be_v much_o more_o especial_o if_o we_o consider_v that_o the_o angel_n be_v send_v so_o frequent_o as_o they_o be_v in_o scripture_n upon_o a_o divine_a message_n they_o may_v be_v think_v the_o fit_a instrument_n to_o convey_v a_o message_n back_o again_o from_o whence_o they_o come_v nay_o the_o christian_a religion_n allow_v we_o to_o believe_v that_o man_n have_v their_o angel_n in_o heaven_n that_o do_v in_o general_n intercede_v for_o they_o at_o the_o throne_n of_o god_n though_o it_o be_v still_o to_o be_v doubt_v whether_o they_o have_v any_o particular_a

that_o in_o heaven_n their_o angel_n do_v always_o behold_v the_o face_n of_o my_o father_n which_o be_v in_o heaven_n and_o the_o cherubim_n in_o the_o sanctuary_n be_v place_v upon_o the_o ark_n of_o the_o testimony_n and_o look_v upon_o the_o divine_a glory_n and_o majesty_n that_o sit_v between_o they_o be_v a_o argument_n that_o the_o jew_n have_v a_o opinion_n and_o such_o a_o opinion_n as_o be_v authorize_v by_o god_n himself_o that_o the_o angel_n do_v make_v intercession_n in_o the_o presence_n of_o god_n on_o the_o behalf_n of_o man_n but_o yet_o it_o be_v true_a that_o we_o be_v not_o to_o apply_v ourselves_o to_o the_o angel_n though_o they_o shall_v be_v allow_v to_o intercede_v for_o we_o it_o be_v true_a likewise_o that_o they_o be_v not_o make_v miserable_a by_o a_o particular_a view_n of_o our_o calamity_n and_o misfortune_n neither_o do_v they_o make_v any_o particular_a intercession_n but_o they_o be_v kind_a and_o charitable_a spirit_n that_o wish_v well_o to_o all_o mankind_n and_o that_o intercession_n which_o they_o make_v be_v only_o a_o general_a thing_n that_o god_n will_v hasten_v to_o accomplish_v the_o number_n of_o his_o elect_n and_o that_o his_o kingdom_n may_v come_v and_o his_o will_v be_v do_v in_o earth_n as_o it_o be_v in_o heaven_n last_o it_o be_v still_o true_a that_o there_o be_v but_o one_o mediator_n between_o god_n and_o
