find_v the_o chief_a answer_n give_v be_v this_o that_o they_o do_v not_o attribute_v the_o same_o kind_n of_o excellency_n to_o saint_n which_o they_o give_v to_o god_n but_o suppose_v only_o a_o

thus_o frame_v if_o the_o supposition_n of_o a_o middle_a excellency_n between_o god_n and_o we_o be_v sufficient_a ground_n for_o formal_a invocation_n than_o the_o heathen_n worship_v of_o their_o

from_o they_o in_o two_o thing_n 1._o in_o the_o object_n 2._o in_o the_o manner_n of_o their_o worship_n 1._o the_o person_n who_o they_o worship_v he_o say_v be_v such_o as_o be_v endow_v with_o supernatural_a gift_n of_o grace_n in_o this_o life_n and_o glory_n in_o heaven_n who_o prayer_n by_o consequence_n be_v acceptable_a and_o available_a with_o god_n but_o the_o supreme_a deity_n of_o

therefore_o there_o can_v be_v no_o consequence_n that_o because_o the_o heathen_n be_v idolater_n in_o the_o worship_n of_o these_o though_o they_o pretend_v not_o to_o give_v they_o the_o worship_n proper_a to_o jupiter_n the_o supreme_a god_n therefore_o the_o catholic_n must_v be_v guilty_a of_o idolatry_n in_o desire_v the_o servant_n of_o the_o true_a god_n to_o pray_v for_o they_o to_o he_o 2._o as_o to_o the_o manner_n of_o worship_n he_o say_v if_o any_o of_o they_o do_v attain_v as_o the_o platonist_n to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o true_a god_n yet_o as_o st._n paul_n say_v they_o do_v not_o glorify_v he_o as_o god_n but_o change_v his_o glory_n into_o a_o image_n make_v like_a to_o corruptible_a man_n adoring_z and_o offer_v sacrifice_n due_a to_o god_n alone_o to_o the_o

heathen_n as_o to_o their_o excellency_n but_o the_o true_a state_n of_o the_o question_n be_v whether_o the_o heathen_n be_v only_o too_o blame_v in_o make_v a_o ill_a choice_n of_o those_o they_o worship_v as_o in_o worship_v jupiter_n and_o venus_n and_o vulcan_n who_o be_v suppose_v to_o have_v be_v wicked_a wretch_n or_o else_o in_o give_v divine_a worship_n to_o any_o beside_o the_o true_a

the_o heathen_n worship_v be_v fit_a object_n for_o such_o adoration_n in_o this_o latter_a they_o triumph_v over_o they_o with_o a_o great_a deal_n of_o eloquence_n lay_v open_a the_o impiety_n of_o those_o who_o they_o common_o worship_v but_o withal_o know_v that_o the_o wise_a among_o they_o have_v another_o notion_n of_o these_o deity_n under_o the_o common_a name_n than_o the_o vulgar_a have_v they_o therefore_o charge_v they_o with_o idolatry_n in_o give_v the_o worship_n proper_a to_o god_n to_o any_o creature_n let_v it_o be_v never_o so_o excellent_a and_o serviceable_a to_o
