The one sayeth: Christ sitteth on the right hand of his father, and prayeth for us.
The one sayeth: Chryste sitteth on the ryght hand of hys father, and prayeth for vs.
The other saith: he is our advocate, that is, a spokesman, comforter, intercessor, and mediator. Now would I ask them, seeing that Christ is a mediator of intercession, as I am sure they will grant: whether he be sufficient or no.
The other sayth: he is our aduocate, that is, a spokesman, cō forter, intercessor, and mediator. Now would I aske them, seyng that Chryst is a mediator of intercessyon, as I am sure thei wil graunt: whether he be sufficient or no.
If they say no, then all men will know they lye. But if they say yea, then may I ask, why they are not content with sufficient. What fault find ye with him? Is there any more merciful, than he: Any, more desirous to do us good, than he? Any, that knoweth our grief and need, so much as he?
If they say no, then all mē wil know they lye. But if they saye yea, then maye I aske, whie they are not content wyth sufficient. What fault fynde ye wyth him? Is there any more mercyful, thē he: Any, more desyrous to do vs good, thē he? Any, that knoweth our grefe and nede, so muche as he?
