IT is both faithfully &1 manifestly taught in the gospel, & the writings of the Apostles, that Christ doth pray for his universal church, and for all faithful, and is their only intercessor, advocate, and mediator to God his heavenly father. For Christ himself in the Gospel, saith: Verily, verily, I say unto you, what so ever you shall ask of my father in my name, he vvill give it you? Hitherto you have not asked any thing in my name, now ask and you shall receive it. And again. Come unto me all you that do labour ⟨image 70⟩and are heavy laden, and I vvill refresh you.

These words therefore of Christ, do all the faithful in the universal church believe, & acknowledge Christ to be their only intercessor to God the1 father, & therefore come they unto him only. For they steadfastly believe that he is the Christ, that is to say, the anointed and ordained King and Priest at the right hand of God, who hath delivered us, and hath ascended into the heavens, even unto the right hand o God, that he might always appear before his heavenly father for us, like as Paul saith, that Christ is entre into the heaves, that he might appear in the sght of God, and make intercession, and pray for us.
