us but Je^us Christ alone, and neither Mary, nor any prophet,
nor apostle, nor other saint are to be prayed unto, but the one
God alone in the name of Christ his son.
M. What honour then shalt thou give to the saints and to Mary?
L), I may give them the greatest praise. I may praise God for
their election, and their salvation by his grace and mercy,
when they merited nothing but damnation, and after that for
their holy lives, which they lived as God willed to pour his
grace upon them.
M. How then shalt thou deal with thy patron or thy national
saint if thou pray not to him, as thy forefathers did ?
D. I do not pray to him, and it was error in my forefathers
and want of Knowledge of the Divine Scriptures, for if they
were not ignorant, they would have no patron but Christ,
for it is fiom him we derive the name of Christians
