the_o synod_n and_o theodoret_n do_v put_v a_o clear_a distinction_n betwixt_o these_o two_o particular_n which_o by_o the_o exposition_n of_o the_o roman_a doctor_n be_v confound_v and_o make_v to_o signify_v the_o same_o viz._n desertion_n of_o christ_n and_o be_v guilty_a of_o idolatry_n by_o pray_v to_o the_o bless_a angel_n as_o be_v apparent_a from_o this_o expression_n of_o theodoret_n the_o synod_n of_o laodicea_n make_v a_o law_n that_o christian_n shall_v not_o pray_v to_o angel_n nor_o forsake_v the_o lord_n christ_n whosoever_o do_v such_o thing_n say_v they_o accurse_a let_v he_o be_v because_o he_o have_v desert_v christ_n and_o give_v up_o himself_o unto_o idolatry_n last_o we_o do_v not_o find_v that_o they_o do_v so_o reject_v or_o desert_n christ_n as_o to_o deny_v his_o intercession_n in_o the_o heaven_n but_o only_o upon_o this_o account_n because_o they_o do_v not_o make_v immediate_a address_n to_o he_o for_o as_o st._n paul_n assert_n
