3. Those who endeavour to come unto God any other way, but by Christ; as, by Saints and Angels, may do well to consider, whether they have any such Office in Heaven as by virtue whereof they are able to save them to the uttermost. That this is done by those of the Roman Church, cannot with any modesty be denied, yea, it is avowed by them. For when they are charged with the wickedness of their Doctrine and Practice in this matter, evacuating the Mediation of Christ, they reply that they admit of no Mediators of Reconciliation with God, but only of intercession. Be it so, Ability to save to the utmost is here ascribed unto our High Priest upon the Account of his intercession. A respect unto his Oblation whereby he made Reconciliation is included, but it is the efficacy of his Intercession that is expressly regarded. For being reconciled by his Death, we are saved by his Life, Rom. 5. 10. He therefore alone is the Mediator of Intercession, who is able by virtue of his Office to save us to the utmost, through that intercession of his.
