Inference 2.
1Hence also be informed, how great an evil it is to join any other Mediators either of reconciliation, or meritorious intercession with Jesus Christ. O this is an horrid sin, and that which both pours the greatest contempt upon Christ; and brings the surest and forest destruction upon the Sinner. I am ashamed my Pen should English what mine Eyes have seen in the writings of Papists,2 ascribing as much, yea more to the mediation of Mary than to Christ, with no less than blasphemous impudence, thus commenting upon Scripture. What is that which the Lord saith, I have trod the Wine-press alone, and of the People there was no Man with me? true Lord, there was no man with thee, but there was a Woman with thee; who received all these wounds in her Heart, which thou receivedst in thy Body. I will not blot my Paper with more of this, but refer the learned Reader to the Margin, where he may (if he have a mind to see more) be informed, not only what blasphemy hath dropped from single Pens, but even from Councils to the reproach of Jesus Christ, and his Blood.
