6. Whether there may be moe Mediators.
6. Whether there may be moe Mediatours.
1There is only one Mediator between God and man: the reason is, because the Son only is Mediator, and can perform the office of the Mediator. And there is but one only natural Son of God. Object. The Saints also make intercession for us; therefore they are Mediators. Answ. There is great difference between the intercession of Christ, and of the Saints, who live in the world, and pray for themselves and others, yea, for their persecutors and enemies: for the Saints depend upon the merit of Christ, Christ on his own merit; and Christ only offered himself a surety and a satisfier, sanctifying himself for us; that is, presenting himself in our stead before Gods judgment seat: which thing can no way be said of the Saints. Object. Where are many means, there is not one Mediator: But there are many means of our salvation: Therefore there is not one only Mediator. Ans. The Major proposition we deny: For it is one thing to be the means, another thing to be the Mediator of our salvation.
