therefore_o the_o lord_n christ_n be_v god_n because_o it_o can_v be_v demonstrative_o prove_v that_o there_o be_v any_o real_a scripture-ground_n for_o pray_v unto_o he_o but_o he_o will_v still_o

they_o must_v ascribe_v to_o christ_n a_o omniscience_n omnipotence_n and_o omnipresence_n which_o be_v the_o very_a attribute_n the_o essential_a attribute_n of_o the_o one_o true_a god_n i_o do_v not_o think_v this_o be_v a_o necessary_a consequence_n they_o do_v not_o make_v another_o god_n by_o their_o pray_v to_o the_o lord_n christ_n it_o do_v not_o follow_v that_o he_o be_v omnipresent_v omniscient_a and_o omnipotent_a because_o it_o be_v suppose_v and_o hold_v that_o he_o may_v be_v pray_v unto_o and_o also_o can_v supply_v all_o our_o want_n first_o for_o omniscience_n it_o be_v the_o general_a opinion_n of_o all_o sect_n and_o party_n of_o christian_n that_o the_o glorify_a saint_n have_v more_o than_o a_o prophetic_a knowledge_n by_o what_o which_o the_o school_n have_v call_v the_o beatific_a vision_n or_o as_o the_o apostle_n speak_v by_o see_v god_n as_o he_o be_v the_o benefit_n of_o the_o beatific_a vision_n shall_v be_v to_o person_n in_o proportion_n to_o their_o labour_n of_o duty_n and_o love_n which_o they_o have_v show_v to_o the_o service_n of_o god_n therefore_o our_o lord_n christ_n in_o his_o present_a glorify_a state_n may_v have_v such_o a_o perfect_a sight_n of_o god_n as_o to_o see_v in_o he_o the_o desire_n and_o prayer_n the_o distress_n defect_n and_o perfection_n of_o such_o as_o call_v upon_o god_n in_o his_o name_n the_o father_n and_o school_n do_v suppose_v that_o the_o saint_n in_o heaven_n know_v very_o many_o thing_n both_o past_a and_o to_o come_v by_o the_o beatific_a vision_n and_o that_o the_o conversation_n in_o heaven_n be_v not_o by_o speech_n or_o word_n but_o by_o intuition_n or_o vision_n or_o some_o the_o like_a way_n it_o be_v not_o therefore_o irrational_a or_o border_v on_o idolatry_n or_o on_o polytheism_n if_o we_o suppose_v that_o by_o the_o same_o beatific_a vision_n our_o prayer_n be_v know_v to_o the_o lord_n christ_n especial_o consider_v that_o he_o be_v the_o appoint_a mediator_n for_o we_o next_o for_o omnipotence_n and_o omnipresence_n the_o lord_n christ_n may_v be_v able_a to_o succour_n we_o in_o want_n both_o temporal_a and_o spiritual_a without_o our_o suppose_v either_o that_o he_o be_v omnipresent_v or_o omnipotent_a for_o the_o omnipotence_n of_o god_n can_v confer_v even_o on_o thing_n insensible_a a_o miraculous_a power_n nay_o such_o a_o power_n as_o can_v effect_v miracle_n at_o the_o great_a distance_n thus_o the_o bone_n of_o the_o prophet_n have_v power_n to_o restore_v a_o dead_a man_n to_o life_n the_o brazen_a serpent_n heal_v such_o as_o

the_o divine_a omnipotence_n have_v a_o ability_n to_o enable_v the_o lord_n christ_n to_o do_v miracle_n as_o far_o as_o from_o heaven_n to_o earth_n and_o such_o miracle_n too_o as_o reach_v the_o mind_n as_o well_o as_o the_o body_n of_o men._n we_o know_v not_o the_o philosophy_n or_o the_o manner_n of_o the_o thing_n but_o as_o it_o be_v undeniable_a not_o impossible_a so_o it_o be_v a_o

this_o question_n for_o we_o have_v see_v that_o he_o may_v be_v the_o object_n of_o prayer_n without_o make_v he_o god_n or_o a_o person_n of_o god_n and_o without_o ascribe_v to_o he_o the_o property_n of_o the_o divine_a nature_n omnipresence_n omniscience_n and_o omnipotence_n nor_o on_o the_o other_o hand_n do_v such_o as_o refuse_v to_o pray_v to_o any_o but_o god_n dishonour_v the_o lord_n christ_n even_o though_o it_o be_v suppose_v that_o he_o may_v be_v pray_v to_o because_o in_o refuse_v to_o pray_v to_o he_o they_o only_o refuse_v what_o they_o suppose_v that_o he_o
