Wherefore saints must be honoured by following them, but not by honouring them of devotion. &c. 349. col. 2

1Chrysostom saith, Dost thou see this woman which was unworthy, but by her perseverance was made worthy? wilt thou learn also, that we praying unto God in our own persons, do more profit, than when other men do pray for us. This woman did cry, and the disciples came and prayed him that he would speed her, for she crieth on us. But to them he answered, I am not sent but unto the sheep which are perished of the house of Israel. But when she came her self and did persevere crying and saying, Yes Lord, for the whelps do eat the crumbs that fall from their masters tables: then did he give her the benefit and said, be it unto thee as thou wilt. Dost thou not see how he did repel her, when other men prayed for her? but when she came her self and cried, he did grant her. Unto them he said. I am not sent but unto the lost sheep. But unto the woman he saith, be it unto thee as thou wilt. &c. 350. col. 1

Also Chrysostom saith, We have no 1need of Patrons before God, nor need of much process to speak fair unto other men, but though thou be alone and wantest a patron, but prayest God by thy self, yet for all that shalt thou have thy desire.
