short_a particular_n whereof_o the_o two_o first_o be_v such_o as_o may_v suffice_v of_o themselves_o alone_o to_o resolve_v this_o question_n the_o first_o be_v that_o many_o principal_a protestant_n have_v agree_v with_o we_o in_o this_o point_n for_o the_o opinion_n of_o luther_n in_o his_o own_o word_n be_v this_o that_o follow_v articulorum_fw-la luther_n in_o purgatione_fw-la quorundam_fw-la

protestant_a calendar_n wherefore_o this_o be_v the_o belief_n not_o only_o of_o their_o first_o apostle_n but_o also_o of_o their_o latter_a martyr_n i_o can_v imagine_v how_o it_o may_v stand_v with_o the_o reputation_n of_o a_o zealous_a protestant_n either_o to_o condemn_v we_o or_o to_o mislike_v we_o for_o it_o the_o second_o particular_a which_o i_o will_v have_v thou_o well_o to_o consider_v be_v this_o that_o the_o principal_a ground_n whereon_o the_o protestant_n do_v especial_o build_v their_o denial_n or_o rather_o their_o detestation_n of_o this_o doctrine_n be_v most_o vain_a and_o frivolous_a contend_v invocation_n of_o saint_n to_o be_v altogether_o unlawful_a because_o it_o be_v not_o where_o express_o command_v or_o approve_v in_o holy_a scripture_n for_o i_o will_v but_o ask_v a_o protestant_n where_o he_o read_v hunt_v or_o hawk_v to_o be_v express_o command_v or_o commend_v in_o the_o word_n of_o god_n which_o unless_o he_o love_v hawk_n and_o dog_n better_a than_o saint_n or_o angel_n be_v enough_o to_o make_v he_o see_v the_o impertinency_n of_o this_o position_n in_o a_o word_n i_o will_v demand_v where_o he_o find_v either_o this_o assertion_n itself_o which_o they_o make_v the_o ground_n of_o their_o belief_n to_o be_v express_o deliver_v or_o to_o give_v instance_n in_o some_o other_o particular_n where_o he_o can_v show_v i_o the_o eat_n of_o blood_n and_o strangle_a meat_n the_o celebration_n of_o christmas_n and_o of_o the_o feast_n of_o the_o apostle_n the_o use_n of_o surplice_n cap_n and_o tippet_n in_o the_o service_n of_o christ_n or_o in_o fine_a the_o abrogation_n of_o the_o jew_n saboth_n which_o be_v saturday_n to_o be_v express_o either_o enjoin_v or_o approve_v in_o holy_a writ_n which_o not_o be_v able_a to_o perform_v he_o not_o only_o condemn_v himself_o in_o the_o continual_a practice_n of_o all_o these_o particular_n if_o he_o stand_v to_o his_o own_o ground_n but_o also_o make_v the_o ground_n itself_o to_o overthrow_v itself_o as_o be_v no_o where_o express_o teach_v in_o holy_a scripture_n wherefore_o though_o no_o laudable_a example_n of_o prayer_n to_o saint_n depart_v can_v be_v find_v in_o the_o write_a word_n yet_o this_o be_v no_o sufficient_a cause_n to_o condemn_v it_o from_o whence_o also_o it_o follow_v that_o unless_o y●_z protestant_n can_v show_v which_o they_o will_v never_o be_v able_a to_o do_v that_o prayer_n to_o saint_n be_v evident_o forbid_v either_o by_o the_o word_n of_o god_n or_o light_n of_o nature_n or_o law_n of_o the_o church_n they_o can_v
