9. A man may as lawfully join Saints or Angels in his mediation 1with Christ, as graces. Why is that doctrine of making Angels and Saints mediators and intercessors so odious, but because it joineth Christ and others together in that great work? Dost not thou the like, when thou joinest thy love and grace with Christs obedience? The Papist saith, Let such and such an holy Saint save ⟨p. 26⟩me; and thou sayest, Let my holy love, let my holy repentance save me. What advantage then hast thou, if thou criest down Saints, and then makest thy self one in a Popish way? Could therefore thy graces speak, they would say as the Angel to John that would worship him, Worship thou God, worship thou Christ, put thy trust in Christ; he hath only born our sins, so as to take them away: and therefore, as gross Idolatry makes the works of God a god; so doth more subtle Idolatry make the works of Christ, a Christ.
