Expositors, especially those of the Roman Church, enquire with many Disputes into the External form of the Intercession of Christ, as namely, whether it be oral and vocal, or no. And they produce many Testimonies out of the Ancients upon the one side and the other. And great weight is laid by some on the Difference and Determination of it. For whereas Ribera grants that the Dispute is more about words and the manner of Expression, than the matter it self; Tena affirms that what he says is most false. And it is evident that the Testimonies produced by themselves out of the Ancients, as Chrysostom, Theophylact, Ambrose, Austin, and so to Ruperu•s and Thomas are expressly contradictory to one another. Now although our principal concernment lieth in the internal form and efficacy of the Intercession of our High Priest, rather than in the outward manner of it: yet so far as that also is revealed, we may enquire into it. And we shall find that the true stating of it tends unto the encouragement and establishment of our Faith. And the things ensuing may be observed unto this purpose.
