First are the words most sure of Paul / a mediator is not the mediator of one / that is / wheresoever is required a mediator / there are also two parties / to wite one party offendant & the other party / which is offended which parties by themself may in no wise be reconciled.
FIrst are the wordes most sure of Paule / a mediatoure is not the mediatour of one / that is / wheresoeuer is required a mediator / there are also two parties / to wyte one party offendant & the other party / which is offendid whiche partise by thēselfe maye in no wise be reconsiled.
Secondly the mediator / 1which taketh upon him the reconciling of these two parties / must be such one as have trust and favour of both parties in some things / And differ from both / and must be clean and innocent / also of the crime / committed against the party offended / let this be more plain by this subsequent declaration.
