prayer_n either_o the_o one_o great_a way_n or_o the_o other_o 1._o not_o by_o revelation_n for_o confess_o there_o be_v no_o revelation_n unless_o a_o legendary_a will_v pass_v currant_n or_o some_o

must_v be_v at_o a_o loss_n and_o stand_v if_o this_o way_n be_v suppose_v because_o he_o can_v be_v assure_v that_o god_n be_v please_v to_o reveal_v his_o prayer_n to_o they_o and_o he_o be_v sure_a if_o god_n do_v not_o they_o can_v take_v no_o notice_n or_o cognisance_n of_o they_o and_o so_o their_o prayer_n become_v fruitless_a and_o unprofitable_a because_o he_o know_v not_o whether_o god_n will_v reveal_v his_o prayer_n and_o if_o he_o do_v how_o far_o 3._o how_o can_v they_o be_v proper_a mediator_n for_o man_n who_o can_v know_v what_o man_n desire_v of_o they_o without_o the_o

jesus_n who_o need_v no_o mediator_n to_o inform_v he_o 4._o what_o a_o strange_a circular_a motion_n must_v be_v observe_v in_o follow_v this_o way_n first_o the_o petitioner_n must_v make_v his_o suit_n to_o angel_n and_o saint_n than_o god_n must_v reveal_v they_o and_o their_o content_n to_o the_o angel_n or_o saint_n if_o he_o please_v or_o else_o they_o be_v for_o ever_o ignorant_a of_o they_o then_o the_o angel_n and_o saint_n must_v back_o again_o and_o present_v they_o to_o god_n but_o if_o the_o petitioner_n mistake_v his_o angel_n guardian_n or_o tutelar_a saint_n as_o very_o likely_a he_o may_v than_o it_o be_v to_o be_v doubt_v whether_o the_o angel_n or_o saint_n will_v own_v the_o client_n though_o god_n shall_v reveal_v his_o prayer_n 2._o not_o by_o virtue_n of_o the_o beatifical-vision_n the_o other_o suppose_a way_n for_o 1._o the_o scripture_n say_v no_o man_n know_v the_o thing_n of_o god_n the_o purpose_n and_o thought_n but_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n

the_o beatifical_a vision_n which_o do_v not_o confer_v on_o they_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o thing_n of_o god_n for_o this_o we_o know_v that_o the_o angel_n do_v not_o know_v the_o mystery_n of_o
