Book III, 50: On praying to Saints
From Divine Fancies (1633), Book III
Religion
Not pray to Saints? Is not the Warrant ample,
If back't with Scripture? strengthen'd with example?
Did not that sweltring Dives make complaint
For water? was not Abraham a Saint?
Why should reformed Churches then forbid it?
'Tis true: But tell me; what was He, that did it?
