faithful_a arrive_v to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o martyr_n yet_o he_o doubt_v not_o that_o the_o martyr_n pray_v for_o the_o faithful_a which_o be_v all_o that_o can_v be_v prove_v from_o these_o

and_o here_o we_o ●●●st_n remember_v what_o the_o ancient_a father_n mean_v by_o the_o christian_a sacrifice_n not_o only_o the_o oblation_n of_o bread_n and_o wine_n bring_v by_o all_o the_o people_n and_o present_v at_o the_o holy_a table_n with_o the_o prayer_n of_o the_o priest_n nor_o only_o the_o consecration_n of_o those_o element_n afterward_o to_o be_v the_o memorial_n of_o christ_n body_n and_o blood_n which_o they_o first_o lay_v before_o god_n and_o then_o distribute_v to_o the_o faithful_a i_o say_v we_o must_v remember_v that_o they_o do_v not_o only_o mean_v these_o visible_a sacrifice_n but_o likewise_o all_o the_o prayer_n praise_n and_o thanksgiving_n of_o the_o church_n which_o be_v vocal_a sacrifice_n together_o with_o contrition_n of_o heart_n and_o all_o pious_a

be_v this_o that_o the_o faithful_a be_v assemble_v at_o the_o memory_n of_o the_o martyr_n for_o divine_a service_n the_o martyr_n be_v not_o invocate_v by_o the_o priest_n in_o any_o part_n of_o the_o administration_n and_o therefore_o the_o distinction_n of_o sacrificial_a and_o extrasacrisicial_a prayer_n will_v not_o avoid_v this_o testimony_n since_o the_o prayer_n of_o the_o faithful_a at_o their_o religious_a assembly_n be_v all_o sacrificial_a prayer_n as_o be_v part_n of_o the_o christian_a sacrifice_n and_o st._n austin_n who_o testimony_n this_o be_v do_v in_o this_o notion_n

heart_n and_o afterward_o he_o add_v these_o instance_n as_o the_o ancient_n have_v do_v before_o he_o the_o psalmist_n say_v offer_v unto_o god_n the_o sacrifice_n of_o praise_n and_o pay_v thy_o vow_n to_o the_o most_o high_a and_o call_v upon_o i_o in_o the_o day_n of_o tribulation_n and_o i_o will_v deliver_v thou_o and_o thou_o shall_v gl●●●fie_v i_o it_o be_v true_a that_o he_o sometime_o distinguish_v the_o visible_a oblation_n of_o the_o church_n from_o prayer_n and_o praise_n as_o where_o he_o argue_v 19_o ibid._n c._n 19_o that_o the_o visible_a sacrifice_n be_v to_o be_v offer_v up_o to_o god_n only_o who_o visible_a sacrifice_n we_o ourselves_o be_v in_o our_o heart_n as_o in_o vocal_a prayer_n and_o praise_n we_o pray_v to_o god_n and_o praise_v he_o only_o to_o who_o we_o offer_v the_o devotion_n of_o the_o heart_n but_o though_o in_o that_o place_n he_o do_v not_o call_v prayer_n and_o praise_n sacrifice_n as_o he_o do_v elsewhere_o very_o frequent_o yet_o even_o there_o he_o take_v it_o for_o grant_v that_o when_o the_o faithful_a be_v assemble_v for_o pray_v to_o god_n and_o praise_v he_o they_o address_v themselves_o to_o none_o but_o to_o he_o it_o be_v so_o plain_a even_o from_o this_o father_n that_o the_o invocation_n of_o martyr_n and_o saint_n be_v no_o part_n of_o the_o service_n of_o the_o church_n that_o i_o have_v thought_n sit_v to_o

that_o those_o who_o memory_n i_o celebrate_v upon_o earth_n will_v vouchsafe_v to_o pray_v for_o we_o in_o heaven_n now_o let_v we_o hear_v the_o word_n of_o st._n austin_n in_o that_o place_n to_o which_o monsieur_n de_fw-fr meaux_n refer_v but_o we_o do_v not_o appoint_v temple_n priesthood_n holy_a rite_n and_o sacrifice_n to_o the_o martyr_n because_o not_o they_o but_o their_o god_n be_v
