1. A Mediator properly signifies a Midler, a middle Man, a Reconciler,¹ or a Days Man that lays his Hands upon both, [Greek or Hebrew], one that interposeth, to make up the Breach, or Difference that is between disagreeing Parties: Now Jesus Christ is a middle Person, and fit every ways to be a Mediator betwixt God and Man, he is at an equal distance, and equally drawing near to, ⟨p. 46⟩and a like related unto both, he being God and Man in one Person, he is a meet and a proper Reconciler of God to Man, and of Man to God.
