we_o not_o profess_v to_o all_o the_o world_n that_o we_o look_v upon_o the_o saint_n not_o as_o god_n but_o as_o the_o friend_n and_o servant_n of_o god_n that_o be_v as_o just_a man_n who_o prayer_n

of_o god_n be_v worship_v who_o heart_n we_o judge_v prepare_v to_o lose_v their_o life_n for_o the_o truth_n of_o the_o gospel_n where_o then_o lie_v the_o heathenism_n where_o lie_v the_o idolatry_n have_v the_o doctor_n hold_v himself_o to_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n which_o term_v the_o invocation_n of_o saint_n a_o fond_a thing_n vain_o invent_v and_o ground_v upon_o

of_o idolatry_n in_o the_o invocation_n of_o saint_n be_v this_o 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

to_o the_o supreme_a god_n which_o be_v as_o much_o as_o be_v pretend_v by_o the_o devout_a papist_n in_o justification_n of_o the_o invocation_n of_o saint_n to_o this_o i_o answer_v two_o way_n in_o my_o reply_n 1._o by_o show_v the_o disparity_n of_o catholic_n worship_n from_o that_o of_o the_o heathen_n in_o two_o thing_n 1._o in_o the_o object_n where_o i_o say_v that_o by_o person_n of_o a_o middle_a excellency_n we_o understand_v person_n 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 the_o heathen_n be_v know_v to_o be_v jupiter_n and_o their_o inferior_a devit_n venus_n mars_n bacchus_n vulcan_n and_o the_o like_a rabble_n of_o devil_n as_o the_o scripture_n call_v thâ—m_n and_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 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 in_o the_o manner_n of_o worship_n because_o i_o say_v if_o any_o of_o the_o heathen_n 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 statue_n themselves_o or_o the_o inferior_a deity_n they_o suppose_v to_o dwell_v or_o assist_v in_o they_o which_o st._n austin_n upon_o the_o 96._o psalm_n prove_v to_o be_v devil_n or_o evil_a angel_n because_o they_o require_v sacrifice_n to_o be_v offer_v to_o they_o and_o will_v be_v worship_v as_o go_n what_o he_o mean_v by_o formal_a invocation_n i_o say_v i_o do_v not_o well_o understand_v but_o catholic_n i_o tell_v he_o understand_v no_o more_o by_o it_o in_o this_o matter_n but_o desire_v or_o pray_v the_o saint_n to_o pray_v for_o they_o and_o if_o this_o be_v idolatry_n we_o must_v not_o desire_v the_o prayer_n of_o a_o just_a man_n even_o in_o this_o life_n because_o this_o formal_a invocation_n will_v be_v to_o make_v he_o a_o inferior_a deity_n 2._o i_o answer_v that_o the_o same_o calumny_n be_v cast_v upon_o the_o catholic_n in_o st._n augustine_n time_n and_o be_v answer_v by_o he_o and_o his_o answer_n will_v serve_v as_o well_o now_o as_o then_o in_o his_o twenty_o book_n against_o faustus_n chap._n 21._o who_o himself_o hold_v such_o formal_a invocation_n a_o part_n of_o the_o worship_n due_a to_o saint_n as_o be_v evident_a from_o the_o prayer_n he_o make_v to_o st._n cyprian_n after_o his_o martyrdom_n l._n 7._o de_fw-fr bapt._n c._n donat._n c._n 1._o and_o calvin_n himself_o confess_v it_o be_v the_o custom_n at_o that_o time_n to_o say_v holy_a mary_n or_o holy_a peter_n pray_v for_o us._n this_o indeed_o be_v my_o answer_n and_o to_o disprove_v it_o he_o undertake_v to_o show_v two_o thing_n 1._o that_o the_o disparity_n between_o catholic_n worship_n of_o saint_n and_o the_o heathen_n worship_v of_o their_o inferior_a deity_n 139._o be_v not_o so_o great_a as_o to_o excuse_v they_o from_o idolatry_n 2._o that_o the_o answer_v give_v by_o st._n austin_n do_v not_o vindicate_v they_o now_o as_o well_o as_o then_o §_o 3._o 1._o concern_v the_o disparity_n 1._o as_o to_o the_o object_n of_o worship_n he_o abhor_v from_o his_o heart_n to_o parallel_v the_o hâ—ly_a angel_n and_o saint_n with_o the_o impure_a deity_n of_o the_o heathen_n as_o to_o their_o excellency_n no._n he_o have_v more_o honour_n for_o they_o than_o not_o to_o think_v they_o more_o excellent_a than_o devil_n or_o wicked_a wretch_n i_o suppose_v in_o case_n they_o have_v the_o testimony_n of_o scripture_n for_o their_o sanctity_n otherwise_o it_o may_v go_v hard_a with_o the_o best_a of_o they_o shall_v he_o proceed_v in_o the_o same_o form_n with_o all_o the_o rest_n as_o he_o do_v a_o little_a below_o with_o st._n ignatius_n but_o suppose_v they_o at_o present_a to_o be_v more_o excellent_a than_o the_o impure_a deity_n of_o the_o heathen_n yet_o if_o the_o idolatry_n of_o the_o heathen_n say_v he_o lay_v not_o only_o in_o this_o that_o they_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 but_o in_o this_o that_o they_o give_v divine_a worship_n to_o any_o beside_o god_n than_o this_o disparity_n can_v excuse_v catholic_n from_o be_v idolater_n behold_v here_o the_o ground_n upon_o which_o he_o intend_v to_o build_v his_o charge_n of_o idolatry_n viz._n that_o catholic_n give_v divine_a honour_n to_o the_o holy_a angel_n and_o saint_n this_o be_v what_o the_o reader_n must_v suppose_v otherwise_o his_o argument_n be_v at_o a_o end_n and_o have_v lay_v this_o false_a and_o scandalous_a supposition_n instead_o of_o prove_v it_o he_o undertake_v to_o show_v out_o of_o the_o
