2. Though Angels and Saints in heaven be more perfect then men on earth, yet are they not worthy of such an office, as to be Mediators & Intercessors to God for others. Or this office of Intercession is too much vilified, or celestial creatures too much dignified and deified by accounting them Intercessors in relation to God.

3. Christ himself is deprived of one of his prime functions, and honours, by ascribing it to others: or at least he hath co-partners, and assistants joined with him. Which to do is intolerable presumption.
3. Christ himselfe is deprived of one of his prime functions, and honours, by ascribing it to others: or at least he hath co-partners, and assistants joyned with him. Which to do is intollerable presumption.
4. The love of Christ to man is thereby exceedingly impeached. For he was made like to his brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful High-Priest in things pertaining to 1God, &c. This end of his taking our nature on him, is frustrated, if we need other Mediators to him. To what end is he made man, if there need other Mediators to present us to him? Wherein appears he to be so merciful, if of our selves we may not have access to him, who was made as our selves, a Son of man?
