They hold and teach, that the Saints in heaven, as the virgin Mary, Peter, Paul, &c. do make intercession to God for particular men according to their several wants: and that having received particular mens prayers, they present them unto God. But this doctrine we flatly renounce upon these grounds and reasons.

I. Isa. 63.16. The Church saith to God, doubtless thou art our father, though Abraham be ignorant of us, and Israel know us not. Now if Abraham knew not his posterity, neither Mary, nor Peter, nor any other of the Saints departed know us and our estate: and consequently they cannot make any particular intercession for us. If they say that Abraham & Jacob were then in Limbo, which they will have to be a part of hell: what joy could Lazarus have in Abraham's bosom. Luk. 16.25. & with what comfort could Jacob say on his death bed: O Lord I have waited for thy salvation. Gen. 46.18.
