Which is also manifest out of the Invocation
A brief reply to a late answer to Dr. Henry More his Antidote against idolatry Shewing that there is nothing in the said answer that does any ways weaken his proofs of idolatry against the Church of Rome, and therefore all are bound to take heed how they enter into, or continue in the communion of that church as they tender their own salvation.

of St. Francis in this next Paragraph, Sancte Fran∣cisce properè veni, &c. For St. Francis being de∣sired to hast and come to his people plainly in∣timates it is not a mere Ora pro nobis; (For that he might, one would think, most conveniently per∣form in Heaven before the face of God) but by his Presence and Assistence to his Suppliant to de∣liver him from the ••oul bondage and burden of sin; carnis extincto vitio, he himself having been such an eminent example of Mortification here on Earth, and therefore being now endewed with a peculiar Power of helping men to mortifie sin and to deliver them from that bondage, accordingly as was observed in the former Petition. Which is a boon too great for any but Christ himself to give. So that it is gross Idolatry on that account also. St. Andrew's being crucified on the Cross is supposed likewise to have intitled him to the right and Power of inabling men to bear the Cross. But whether St Nicolas was famous also for incoun∣tring the Devil in his life time I know not. What has been said already on this Paragraph is sufficient to prove that the Invocation of Saints are not a mere Ora pro nobis.
