to_o they_o in_o heaven_n than_o whilst_o they_o be_v upon_o earth_n in_o pray_v to_o and_o praise_v of_o they_o be_v a_o expression_n of_o a_o great_a devotion_n to_o they_o now_o than_o then_o

have_v not_o see_v anywhere_o propose_v in_o these_o term_n i_o answer_v that_o the_o first_o proposition_n be_v build_v on_o a_o great_a mistake_n of_o the_o nature_n of_o humane_a act_n which_o though_o they_o ought_v to_o be_v govern_v by_o the_o law_n of_o god_n yet_o when_o they_o swerve_v from_o it_o cease_v not_o to_o tend_v to_o their_o own_o proper_a object_n god_n prohibition_n of_o

it_o forbid_v be_v to_o make_v direct_a prayer_n or_o invocation_n to_o saint_n at_o the_o altar_n because_o the_o council_n speak_v not_o at_o all_o of_o pray_v to_o saint_n but_o only_o ordain_v that_o the_o prayer_n of_o he_o that_o sacrifice_n be_v direct_v to_o the_o father_n and_o not_o to_o the_o son_n he_o say_v indeed_o that_o calvin_n by_o his_o logic_n deduce_v that_o because_o prayer_n be_v to_o be_v direct_v to_o the_o father_n therefore_o the_o saint_n may_v not_o be_v invocate_v and_o then_o far_o that_o the_o council_n decree_v that_o that_o form_n of_o invocation_n holy_a peter_n pray_v for_o we_o shall_v not_o be_v use_v and_o this_o i_o can_v easy_o believe_v be_v calvin_n ultimate_a design_n in_o corrupt_v the_o canon_n of_o the_o council_n but_o where_o do_v bellarmin_n say_v that_o there_o be_v no_o such_o custom_n in_o st._n augustine_n time_n or_o that_o calvin_n say_v there_o be_v no_o such_o custom_n at_o that_o time_n why_o then_o be_v it_o make_v a_o wonder_n that_o if_o i_o see_v the_o word_n in_o calvin_n or_o bellarmin_n i_o will_v produce_v they_o the_o reason_n be_v to_o make_v the_o reader_n believe_v that_o himself_o can_v not_o possible_o be_v guilty_a at_o that_o very_a time_n of_o a_o crime_n which_o he_o impute_v to_o his_o adversary_n but_o whoever_o consider_v the_o nature_n of_o the_o cause_n he_o have_v undertake_v will_v see_v no_o cause_n to_o wonder_v at_o this_o procedure_n because_o it_o be_v the_o natural_a effect_n of_o such_o a_o cause_n to_o put_v the_o maintainer_n upon_o the_o desperate_a shift_n of_o
