And that such Saints are but as Dij Tutelares of the Gentile Idolatours. The said Richard Mountague hath notwithstanding in the Booke afore mentioned entituled,
* 1.1A Treatise concerning the Invocation of Saints, affirmed and maintained: That Saints haue not onely a memorie, but a more peculiar charge of their friends, And that it may bee admitted, that some Saints haue a peculiar patronage,* 1.2 Custody protection and power,* 1.3 as Angels also haue over certaine per∣sons and Countries by especiall deputation, And that it is no impietie so to beleeue.
Note that hee saith in his Appeale (108. and 109.) Shew me that the Saints haue knowledge of vs here, And J will not doubt to pray to them. So that hence it wilbe evident, That Mountagn holds it lawfull to pray to Saints.
