4. What manner of Mediator ours ought to be.
4. What manner of Mediatour ours ought to be.
This question hath good and orderly dependence of the former: for whereas it appeareth, 1. That we must satisfy. 2. That we must satisfy by another. 3. That we ⟨p. 123⟩must satisfy with that satisfaction of our Mediator, which hath already been discoursed of, and described at large. It is well demanded next, 4. What manner of Mediator is required. Our Mediator therefore must be, 1. Man. 2. True man, deriving his nature of our kind, and retaining it for ever. 3. A man perfectly just. 4. True God. In a word, he must be such a person as is God and man, having both natures divine and humane, in the unity of his person, so that he may be truly middle and Mediator between God and men. Now the demonstrations and proofs concerning the person of the Mediator are drawn from his office: for, because such is his office, himself also ought to be such a one. They have been already handled in the Explication of the 15, 16, 17, & 18. Questions of the Catechism, where they may be reviewed.
