(2) This confutes them, because they do so cry up the righteousness and holiness and dignity of the Virgin Mary; that they do undervalue the righteousness of ⟨p. 14⟩Jesus Christ her Son; they so dote upon the Virgin Mary; that they make her the great Mediator for us to the Father; whereas we say, and maintain, that Christ is the only mediator, for there is but one mediator between God and Man, the man Christ Jesus.

Ministers had never more need to confute Popish doctrines and opinions then now. For never was Popery more like to increase and flourish in this Land then now it is, and therefore I do the rather give these glances concerning them because there is a great deal of danger, lest people be infected with these Popish fooleries. I speak this upon my own experience; I have been a preacher these 10. years, and in all that time I never perceived so many inclining towards Popery, as I have done within these two months; since these late strange actions that have been done amongst us, I have seen many to stagger about our Religion, and have been strongly tempted to embrace and fall to Popery, which is the reason that induced me to make this digression.
