¶Jesus Christ / God & man is mediator.
¶Iesus Christ / God & man is mediator.
For the pure humanity of Christ of it self / might neither make intercession nor satisfaction for us / but God & man in that that he is God / he might complete the will of the father / & in that / that he is man pure and clean / without spot or sin he might offer sacrifice / for purgation of our since & satisfaction of Gods justice / without saints. Have these two godhead equal with the father / & humanity without sin / the office of mediators they may not usurp / Objection but here will be objected / who knoweth not Jesus Christ / to be the only mediator of our redemption / Answer. but that impedeth or letteth nothing. Saints and holy men / to be mediators to make intercession for us / as though that Jesus Christ had been one hour or mediator / & after had resigned the office unto his servants.
