And likewise again, if Gods Word be not yea, and nay, that is, not unconstant, 1then whatsoever is unconstant, and thwarts it self in contradictions, is not Gods Word. Popery is full of inconstancy, full of contradictions to it self.
And likewise again, if Gods VVord be not yea, and nay, that is, not unconstant, 1then whatsoever is unconstant, and thwarts it self in contradictions, is not Gods VVord. Popery is full of inconstancy, full of contradictions to it self.

For Christ to be a perfect Redeemer, and yet notwithstanding to need the help of other Mediators and Intercessors, here is yea, and nay: it is a contradiction.
For Christ to be a perfect Redeemer, and yet notwithstanding to need the help of other Mediatours and Intercessours, here is yea, and nay: it is a contradiction.
