answer_v i_o never_o know_v you_o to_o this_o end_n also_o s._n gregory_n bishop_n of_o rome_n say_v because_o oft_o time_n miracle_n be_v do_v through_o the_o inspiration_n of_o the_o devil_n

pray_v beneath_o on_o earth_n to_o be_v hear_v of_o the_o depart_a saint_n into_o heaven_n which_o according_a to_o the_o scope_n of_o your_o writing_n be_v the_o second_o point_n which_o we_o have_v yet_o to_o examine_v it_o be_v to_o be_v wish_v that_o in_o this_o examination_n you_o be_v more_o discreet_a and_o sincere_a you_o consider_v not_o that_o in_o term_v we_o heretic_n because_o we_o

the_o catholic_a church_n to_o say_v and_o teach_v that_o this_o be_v a_o thing_n more_o than_o reasonable_a yea_o and_o most_o profitable_a for_o man_n to_o invocate_v the_o saint_n which_o the_o

clear_a sight_v wise_a or_o better_o replenish_v with_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n than_o all_o the_o ancient_n the_o reason_n and_o most_o ordinary_a argument_n which_o they_o bring_v against_o this_o doctrine_n be_v this_o it_o be_v say_v they_o to_o do_v wrong_a and_o injury_n unto_o god_n to_o address_v ourselves_o to_o any_o other_o then_o to_o he_o loe_o this_o be_v that_o great_a piece_n of_o

first_o epistle_n to_o timotheus_n the_o second_o chapter_n and_o five_o verse_n say_v that_o he_o call_v jesus_n christ_n our_o one_o and_o only_a mediator_n our_o intercessor_n and_o our_o bishop_n let_v we_o cite_v the_o word_n of_o the_o apostle_n for_o there_o be_v say_v he_o one_o god_n and_o one_o mediator_n between_o god_n and_o man_n which_o be_v the_o man_n christ_n jesus_n these_o word_n of_o saint_n paul_n will_v say_v that_o there_o be_v one_o sovereign_a mediator_n which_o be_v jesus_n christ_n in_o that_o he_o be_v man_n but_o that_o hinder_v not_o but_o there_o may_v be_v

and_o preacher_n will_v reply_v and_o answer_v we_o but_o how_o can_v these_o thing_n agree_v together_o that_o jesus_n christ_n shall_v be_v the_o only_a mediator_n and_o sole_a intercessor_n for_o

evermore_o confessse_n that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v our_o true_a mediator_n and_o intercessor_n unto_o god_n for_o we_o but_o we_o say_v also_o on_o the_o other_o side_n that_o the_o saint_n may_v be_v likewise_o mediator_n and_o intercessor_n for_o us._n reason_n and_o if_o you_o ask_v i_o again_o if_o the_o saint_n may_v also_o be_v call_v mediator_n and_o be_v so_o indeed_o how_o be_v it_o then_o that_o we_o call_v jesus_n christ_n the_o only_a mediator_n i_o answer_v thereunto_o that_o it_o be_v for_o certain_a cause_n and_o reason_n which_o my_o master_n the_o minister_n be_v either_o ignorant_a of_o or_o malicious_o hide_v and_o conceal_v they_o from_o the_o people_n they_o be_v three_o in_o number_n the_o first_o cause_n why_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n be_v call_v the_o only_a mediator_n though_o the_o saint_n be_v likewise_o after_o their_o manner_n be_v because_o he_o alone_o have_v tread_v upon_o the_o grape_n in_o the_o wine_n press_v and_o with_o the_o price_n

which_o we_o do_v owe_v which_o the_o saint_n have_v not_o do_v nor_o can_v do_v for_o he_o alone_o have_v redeem_v us._n and_o for_o this_o cause_n we_o call_v he_o the_o only_a mediator_n that_o be_v of_o ransom_n and_o of_o redemption_n and_o this_o be_v that_o which_o the_o apostle_n saint_n paul_n will_v have_v say_v in_o the_o place_n allege_v for_o after_o he_o have_v say_v that_o we_o have_v one_o mediator_n between_o god_n and_o man_n which_o be_v the_o man_n christ_n he_o explain_v himself_o present_o add_v these_o word_n qui_fw-la dedit_fw-la redemptionem_fw-la semetipsum_fw-la
