Thirdly, this proveth that no prayer can lawfully be made to the1 2virgin Mary, or to any other Saint departed; for he alone is to be called upon in prayer, who sees in secret: but God only sees in secret, neither the virgin Mary, nor any other of the Saints can see in secret; and therefore prayer is to be made to none but to God alone. The Papists3 answer, that Saints departed see in secret, though not of themselves, yet by God, and in God; but that is false: the Angels before their fall saw not their own future fall, nor the fall of man.
