namely_o omnipotence_n and_o omniscience_n and_o immense-presence_n answ_n this_o be_v the_o great_a popular_a argument_n that_o take_v so_o much_o with_o the_o weak_a sort_n of_o people_n who_o measure_n all_o thing_n by_o their_o own_o capacity_n and_o do_v not_o conceive_v how_o saint_n and_o angel_n shall_v hear_v at_o so_o great_a a_o distance_n because_o they_o can_v do_v so_o themselves_o it_o will_v be_v therefore_o requisite_a to_o take_v some_o pain_n to_o clear_v this_o difficulty_n and_o if_o it_o be_v possible_a to_o disabuse_v these_o simple_a but_o well-meaning_a people_n concern_v these_o gross_a and_o carnal_a thought_n which_o that_o i_o may_v the_o more_o plain_o do_v i_o shall_v lay_v down_o these_o know_v and_o evident_a ground_n 1._o that_o angel_n and_o saint_n in_o heaven_n have_v natural_o a_o faculty_n of_o understanding_n and_o communicate_v their_o thought_n that_o be_v a_o power_n connatural_a to_o their_o be_v of_o perceive_v the_o

angel_n and_o saint_n in_o heaven_n do_v neither_o see_v nor_o hear_v in_o the_o sense_n we_o common_o take_v these_o word_n for_o see_v they_o neither_o have_v eye_n nor_o ear_n which_o be_v the_o organ_n of_o see_v and_o hear_v they_o can_v be_v say_v proper_o to_o see_v or_o hear_v but_o only_o to_o vnderstard_n which_o be_v what_o we_o mean_v when_o we_o say_v the_o saint_n do_v hear_v we_o 3._o hence_o follow_v that_o saint_n and_o angel_n may_v hear_v that_o be_v understand_v we_o when_o we_o direct_v our_o thought_n to_o they_o at_o any_o distance_n even_o at_o ten_o million_o of_o miles_n as_o well_o as_o if_o they_o have_v be_v in_o the_o same_o room_n with_o we_o for_o since_o our_o word_n or_o thought_n be_v not_o convey_v to_o they_o by_o mean_n of_o any_o organ_n nor_o by_o the_o motion_n or_o impulse_n of_o the_o air_n as_o it_o happen_v with_o we_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o distance_n or_o nearness_n of_o place_n can_v have_v no_o part_n in_o their_o way_n of_o understanding_n 4._o that_o god-almighty_a be_v able_a to_o reveal_v in_o a_o instant_a all_o our_o prayer_n to_o the_o angel_n and_o saint_n be_v they_o never_o so_o far_o distant_a from_o we_o

to_o all_o intelligent_a being_n or_o that_o god_n reveal_v our_o thought_n to_o they_o we_o do_v not_o ascribe_v any_o of_o the_o incommunicable_a perfection_n of_o the_o divine_a nature_n to_o they_o namely_o omnipotence_n omniscience_n immense-presence_n etc._n etc._n not_o if_o we_o conceive_v that_o they_o understand_v our_o prayer_n by_o that_o natural_a faculty_n which_o be_v

leave_v the_o reader_n to_o judge_v whether_o our_o adversary_n have_v all_o the_o reason_n they_o pretend_v to_o cry_v so_o loud_o 1._o we_o make_v use_v of_o the_o latin_a tongue_n in_o our_o

pious_a forefather_n leave_v we_o the_o scripture_n not_o only_a warrant_n but_o command_v we_o to_o do_v remember_v the_o day_n of_o old_a 32.7_o deut._n 32.7_o consider_v the_o year_n of_o many_o

the_o christian_a religion_n be_v first_o preach_v in_o the_o west_n every_o country_n have_v then_o as_o well_o as_o now_o it_o be_v own_o peculiar_a language_n different_a from_o the_o latin_a which_o though_o it_o be_v cultivate_v by_o man_n of_o letter_n and_o business_n in_o all_o country_n to_o which_o the_o roman_n extend_v their_o conquest_n yet_o the_o common_a people_n or_o native_n be_v general_o ignorant_a of_o and_o it_o be_v no_o less_o evident_a that_o the_o apostle_n and_o apostolical_a man_n who_o preach_v and_o propagate_v the_o christian_a religion_n in_o these_o country_n be_v endue_v with_o a_o power_n of_o work_a miracle_n in_o confirmation_n of_o the_o truth_n of_o it_o and_o by_o their_o readiness_n to_o lay_v down_o their_o life_n and_o to_o shed_v their_o blood_n for_o it_o give_v sufficient_a testimony_n of_o their_o zeal_n and_o charity_n for_o the_o common_a people_n as_o well_o as_o for_o the_o great_a one_o yet_o all_o the_o record_n of_o antiquity_n all_o the_o ancient_n and_o modern_a liturgy_n together_o with_o the_o universal_a tradition_n of_o the_o western_a church_n and_o even_o the_o consent_n of_o our_o adversary_n all_o these_o i_o say_v bear_v witness_n that_o neither_o the_o apostle_n nor_o the_o apostolical_a man_n who_o first_o plant_v the_o christian_a faith_n in_o these_o part_n nor_o any_o succeed_a generation_n of_o catholic_n do_v ever_o use_v in_o the_o public_a liturgy_n of_o the_o church_n any_o other_o language_n than_o the_o latin_a which_o it_o be_v confess_v the_o common_a people_n general_o speak_v of_o all_o country_n except_o italy_n be_v and_o have_v always_o be_v ignorant_a of_o and_o therefore_o i_o think_v we_o may_v very_o safe_o tread_v in_o the_o step_n of_o these_o our_o holy_a ancestor_n and_o be_v content_a with_o the_o liturgy_n and_o language_n they_o leave_v we_o at_o least_o if_o we_o must_v be_v condemn_v for_o so_o do_v we_o have_v the_o comfort_n to_o

this_o language_n because_o we_o conceive_v it_o very_o necessary_a to_o have_v a_o uniformity_n as_o much_o as_o be_v possible_a both_o in_o faith_n and_o practice_n that_o we_o may_v with_o one_o

common_a tongue_n in_o which_o the_o public_a service_n of_o the_o church_n be_v perform_v contribute_v to_o foment_n this_o union_n the_o miserable_a distraction_n and_o division_n of_o our_o modern_a reformer_n who_o have_v as_o many_o different_a religion_n as_o they_o have_v different_a tongue_n do_v but_o too_o manifest_o evince_v all_o the_o member_n of_o the_o catholic_a religion_n

can_v the_o unity_n of_o their_o faith_n and_o communion_n subsist_v now_o it_o be_v hard_a to_o conceive_v how_o all_o this_o can_v be_v perform_v if_o we_o have_v our_o liturgy_n in_o as_o many_o
