Hereby may we also gather, that the invocations of Saints which the Papists use,1 are Idolatrous. For they give unto saints that which longeth only unto God, namely that they being absent should hear our prayers, or that they can be present at one time, either every where, or else in many places, thereby to succour those which call upon their names in divers parts of the world. Augustine in his Epistle to Dardanus durst not affirm that,2 no not even of the soul of Christ, namely that at one time it might be in many places Wherefore that which Christ said unto the thief: This day shalt thou be with me in Paradise, he expoundeth the same to be understand as touching his divine nature, for that the body of Christ should the same day be laid in the sepulchre, and his soul should be in hell.3 Neither could that soul be both in Paradise and in hell at one time Basilius also de spiritu sancto, & also Didimus would not grant this unto the Angels, that they can at one time be in divers places, affirming that that solely is to be granted unto the only nature of God. But they which do call upon saints, they believe that they do hear them, and that they are present with them, which without doubt is to attribute more unto them than the strength and order of a nature created can suffer.
Hereby may we also gather, that the inuocations of Saintes which the Papistes vse,1 are Idolatrous. For they geue vnto sayntes that which longeth onely vnto God, namelye that they being absent shoulde heare our praiers, or that they can be present at one time, either euery wher, or els in many places, therby to succour those which call vpon their names in diuers partes of the worlde. Augustine in his Epistle to Dardanus durst not affirme that,2 no not euen of the soule of Christ, namely that at one time it might be in many places Wherfore that which Christ said vnto the theefe: This daye shalt thou be with me in Paradise, he expoundeth the same to be vnderstand as touching his diuine nature, for that the bodye of Christ should the same daye be layde in the sepulchre, and his soule should be in hell.
