And therefore he is called indifferently, An Angel, and also adorned with the title of the eternal GOD. Whereof Saint Paul is a sufficient witness, 1which doeth expressly affirm, that it was Christ him self. And Moses him self acknowledgeth the presence of GOD, in the person of the Mediator: for when GOD pronounceth after the calf was made, that he would be no more guide unto the people, and promiseth he would give them one of his Angels, meaning one of the common sort: Moses earnestly entreateth him, that he would not so do. For if the Mediator were taken away, he could not hope that GOD would be merciful. Therefore, it was a singular pledge of Gods favour, that the Prince and head of the ⟨image 31⟩Church, with whom Moses was acquainted, was present with him. And surely, the adoption of GOD could not otherwise be steadfast and ratified, but by the hand of the Mediator.

For if the Mediatour were taken away, he could not hope that GOD would be mercifull.
