A prudent and secure choice. Worthy of due consideration being a sure land-mark to all those who have been tossed to and fro in these wavering times. / Written by H.G. Gent.

CHAP. 6.

16. Securely wee commend our selves to the intercession of Saints.

TO justifie this, it is sufficient if wee prove it conformable to reason, and no injurie to Christ. Saint Paul commended himselfe to the prayers of Christians; what must be answered in his excuse will secure us, since wee goe to Saints, as Intercessors, not as Givers, and so truly goe to Christ. You say Saints cannot heare us. How know you this? Not by Scripture. It witnesseth that many Prophets saw objects, not only absent, but not existent untill many hundred yeares after their time, only by Divine inspiration, and shall wee now deny this to Saints in∣joying God face to face? Nor by reason: for if their hearing were by corporall eares, there might be some difficultie; yet since their hearing is understanding, which is indifferent to conceive objects, as well absent as pre∣sent,

this difficultie is vaine, since wee know not how our soule understands, nor how our eyes see, or eares heare; What hindereth then, but that securely I may believe it.
