Also in this wise it is reported in the new Testament by authority reduced out of the old, where it is written:1 Every one that calleth upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. And mark how, cum *energia, it is said: upon the name of the Lord, without any sending us, either to S. Christopher (though he be painted never so stout) either to S. Patrick's purgatory in Ireland or to S. James in Galicia, in the year of grace, or yet to any other saint or place: but would us, that we should call upon almighty God, and upon his name, for the love that he beareth to Christ, and is alway our Advocate before our father: to purchase mercy for our sins:3 and not for our sins only quoth S. John. (who is the writer of this saying and testimony) but also for the sins of all the world. S. Augustine upon the same noteth, that S. John in that place, saith: we have an Advocate, and that Christ is Advocate for him, like as he is for all other, to purchase mercy for him, like as he doth for all other that shall be saved: and that Saint John will not be known for our advocate, but that Christ should be taken for Advocate of all.

And marke howe, cum *energia, it is said: vpon the name of the Lord, without any sending vs, either to S. Christopher (though he be paynted neuer so stout) either to S. Patrickes purgatory in Ireland or to S. Iames in Galicia, in the yeare of grace, or yet to anye other sainct or place: but would vs, yt we shuld call vpō almighty God, and vpon his name, for the loue that hee beareth to Christ, and is alway our Aduocate before our father: to purchase mercy for our sinnes:3 and not for our sinnes onely quoth S. Iohn. (who is ye writer of this saying and testimony) but also for the sinnes of all the world. S. Augustine vppon the same noteth, that S. Iohn in that place, sayth: we haue an Aduocate, and that Christ is Aduocate for him, like as he is for all other, to purchase mercy for him, like as hee doth for all other that shall be saued: and that Sainct Iohn will not be knowne for our aduocate, but that Christ shoulde be taken for Aduocate of all.
