IESVIT.

I answer, That the Primmar or Office (so tearmed) of our Ladie, is not an Office properly and principally directed vnto her, but an Office containing praises of God, taken out of holy Scripture, wherein commemoration of her is made, [ D] so as I dare say, That the Prayers of the Office of our Ladie that are directed towards her, make not the hundred part thereof. And seeing it is most certaine, that the Christian Church in her best times, did frequently pray vnto Saints; what reason haue wee to thinke, that in her set forme of Prayers she did not vse to craue the intercessions of Saints? If it be lawfull, pious, and profitable, when we pray vnto God, to pray also to Saints, by their Mediation offering [ E] our Prayer to him, why should any dislike the doing of this in a set forme, that is allowed by the Church? why should this displease rather than an extemporall forme?

But further wee can prooue, That the Church in her [ A] best times, did pray vnto Saints in set formes, as Catho∣lickes now doe, euen with a kinde of Lettanies, a forme of Prayer acknowledged and confessed by the Magdebur∣gians, * 1.1 to haue beene in vse euen in the fourth age after Christ. Jn which age the foure first generall Councells were held.
