at_o the_o present_a i_o be_o to_o seek_v three_o it_o be_v sir_n in_o the_o three_o place_n high_o destructive_a to_o the_o mediation_n of_o christ_n it_o destroy_v both_o his_o glory_n and_o power_n as_o a_o mediator_n between_o god_n and_o man._n our_o divine_n have_v from_o the_o scripture_n satisfy_v those_o over_o who_o they_o by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v make_v overseer_n and_o by_o our_o knowledge_n we_o have_v of_o the_o scripture_n we_o be_v convince_v that_o we_o have_v no_o other_o mediator_n or_o intercessor_n by_o who_o we_o may_v have_v access_n to_o god_n but_o jesus_n christ_n in_o who_o name_n alone_o all_o thing_n be_v obtain_v at_o the_o hand_n of_o his_o eternal_a father_n therefore_o we_o be_v much_o concern_v at_o the_o vanity_n and_o superstition_n we_o see_v in_o your_o church_n not_o only_o that_o your_o mediator_n be_v without_o number_n though_o you_o know_v well_o sir_n that_o st._n paul_n in_o the_o 1_o tim._n 2._o 6._o say_v there_o be_v but_o one_o mediator_n between_o god_n and_o man_n the_o man_n christ_n jesus_n your_o divine_n give_v it_o for_o grant_v that_o there_o be_v but_o one_o mediator_n of_o salvation_n but_o there_o be_v many_o mediator_n of_o intercession_n and_o thus_o with_o this_o fond_a distinction_n they_o convey_v themselves_o away_o as_o if_o they_o have_v sufficient_o act_v their_o part_n but_o sir_n be_v please_v to_o tell_v we_o that_o since_o you_o own_o that_o christ_n alone_o be_v the_o mediator_n of_o salvation_n why_o do_v you_o pretend_v to_o call_v upon_o the_o virgin_n mary_n salva_n omnes_fw-la qui_fw-la te_fw-la glorificant_fw-la save_o thou_o all_o those_o that_o glorify_v thou_o here_o you_o intrude_v upon_o the_o office_n of_o our_o dear_a redeemer_n and_o make_v the_o holy_a virgin_n not_o only_a mediator_n of_o intercession_n but_o also_o of_o salvation_n for_o by_o your_o prayer_n and_o by_o the_o practice_n of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n even_o contrary_a to_o your_o own_o distinction_n you_o desire_v salvation_n of_o our_o lady_n and_o so_o make_v she_o a_o mediator_n not_o only_o of_o prayer_n but_o of_o salvation_n you_o shift_v off_o this_o and_o say_v that_o when_o you_o say_v save_v we_o you_o mean_v no_o more_o but_z pray_v for_o we_o that_o we_o may_v be_v save_v but_o this_o be_v but_o shift_v for_o you_o shift_v from_o save_v to_o pray_v and_o from_o pray_v to_o save_v at_o your_o pleasure_n but_o if_o you_o crave_v nothing_o from_o the_o mother_n of_o jesus_n but_o only_o her_o prayer_n or_o intercession_n i_o pray_v sir_n what_o be_v the_o true_a meaning_n of_o these_o word_n meritis_fw-la &_o praecibus_fw-la suae_fw-la piae_fw-la matris_fw-la here_o be_v not_o only_a prayer_n but_o also_o merit_v you_o still_o say_v that_o the_o only_a thing_n you_o crave_v from_o the_o virgin_n be_v her_o prayer_n what_o then_o will_v you_o do_v with_o those_o word_n so_o often_o mention_v in_o your_o office_n monstra_fw-la te_fw-la esse_fw-la matrem_fw-la show_v thyself_o to_o be_v the_o mother_n and_o let_v he_o know_v it_o that_o be_v to_o say_v command_v he_o he_o be_v thy_o son._n i_o pray_v observe_v a_o command_n can_v be_v prayer_n merit_n can_v be_v prayer_n nor_o salvation_n can_v be_v prayer_n but_o sir_n why_o shall_v your_o divine_n stand_v upon_o this_o distinction_n since_o a_o fictitious_a author_n that_o carry_v the_o name_n of_o st._n ambrose_n in_o serm._n 6._o de_fw-fr s._n margareta_n write_v thus_o reddere_fw-la debemus_fw-la sanctis_fw-la honorificentiam_fw-la qui_fw-la nobis_fw-la salutem_fw-la profusione_n svi_fw-la sanguinis_fw-la pepererunt_fw-la qui_fw-la tam_fw-la sacra_fw-la hostia_fw-la pro_fw-la nostra_fw-la propitiatione_fw-la domino_fw-la sunt_fw-la oblati_fw-la we_o must_v yield_v honour_n unto_o the_o saint_n who_o have_v procure_v salvation_n for_o we_o by_o the_o shed_n of_o their_o blood_n who_o also_o be_v offer_v up_o unto_o the_o lord_n so_o holy_a a_o sacrifice_n for_o our_o salvation_n if_o we_o have_v salvation_n in_o and_o by_o the_o blood_n of_o the_o saint_n then_o be_v not_o our_o bless_a lord_n the_o only_a mediator_n of_o salvation_n therefore_o sir_n how_o shall_v this_o be_v reconcile_v to_o your_o doctrine_n or_o how_o will_v you_o reconcile_v your_o doctrine_n to_o this_o of_o your_o young_a st._n ambrose_n for_o you_o say_v that_o christ_n himself_o be_v the_o only_a mediator_n of_o salvation_n and_o your_o author_n say_v that_o salvation_n be_v procure_v by_o the_o blood_n of_o the_o saint_n also_o by_o which_o you_o may_v perceive_v your_o distinction_n will_v not_o serve_v your_o turn_n upon_o any_o term_n whatsoever_o therefore_o sir_n give_v i_o leave_v to_o offer_v this_o to_o your_o consideration_n that_o the_o end_n and_o office_n of_o christ_n mediation_n of_o intercession_n as_o also_o of_o salvation_n be_v to_o reconcile_v we_o to_o god_n and_o to_o procure_v we_o mercy_n which_o christ_n perform_v for_o he_o reconcile_v we_o to_o god_n he_o present_v we_o unto_o the_o throne_n of_o grace_n and_o therefore_o as_o st._n paul_n say_v rom._n 8._o 34._o that_o he_o be_v at_o the_o right_a hand_n of_o god_n and_o make_v intercession_n for_o we_o and_o that_o there_o be_v one_o mediator_n between_o god_n and_o man_n the_o man_n christ_n jesus_n tim._n 2._o 5._o i_o confess_v that_o god_n have_v command_v his_o saint_n and_o servant_n to_o pray_v one_o for_o another_o but_o st._n paul_n never_o command_v the_o people_n to_o pray_v to_o saint_n i_o pray_v take_v notice_n of_o the_o word_n of_o st._n augustine_n paulus_n non_fw-la facit_fw-la se_fw-la mediatorem_fw-la inter_fw-la populum_fw-la &_o deum_fw-la sed_fw-la rogat_fw-la ut_fw-la pro_fw-la se_fw-la orent_fw-la inuicem_fw-la ontnia_fw-la membra_fw-la

member_n of_o christ_n mystical_a body_n aug._n epist_n parmen_fw-la lib._n 2._o cap._n 8._o and_o of_o st._n john_n he_o say_v si_fw-mi johannes_n ita_fw-la diceret_fw-la hoc_fw-la scripsi_fw-la

this_o i_o have_v write_v unto_o you_o that_o you_o sin_v not_o and_o if_o you_o sin_n you_o have_v i_o your_o mediator_n before_o god_n and_o i_o will_v entreat_v for_o your_o sin_n as_o parmenian_n the_o heretic_n in_o a_o certain_a place_n make_v the_o bishop_n a_o mediator_n between_o god_n and_o the_o people_n what_o good_a and_o faithful_a christian_n can_v abide_v he_o who_o will_v look_v upon_o he_o as_o the_o apostle_n of_o christ_n and_o not_o rather_o think_v he_o to_o be_v antichrist_n thus_o you_o may_v see_v that_o it_o be_v repugnant_a to_o the_o sense_n of_o st._n augustine_n and_o other_o of_o the_o doctor_n of_o the_o church_n that_o christ_n be_v the_o only_a mediator_n of_o salvation_n and_o that_o he_o be_v not_o the_o only_a mediator_n of_o intercession_n for_o whosoever_o take_v that_o upon_o he_o be_v antichrist_n st._n paul_n himself_o not_o assume_v to_o himself_o the_o office_n of_o a_o mediator_n why_o shall_v we_o without_o any_o just_a ground_n judge_n and_o deem_v he_o so_o since_o no_o man_n can_v take_v this_o honour_n to_o himself_o unless_o call_v of_o god_n as_o be_v aaron_n to_o this_o high-priesthood_n of_o intercession_n which_o the_o bless_a lord_n himself_o do_v not_o take_v upon_o he_o till_o he_o be_v thus_o call_v so_o that_o you_o may_v plain_o see_v that_o st._n augustine_n be_v as_o positive_a as_o may_v be_v that_o no_o man_n can_v be_v a_o mediator_n of_o intercession_n but_o christ_n himself_o alone_o who_o ever_o live_v to_o make_v intercession_n for_o we_o and_o your_o young_a st._n ambrose_n he_o say_v that_o christ_n be_v not_o alone_o the_o mediator_n of_o salvation_n therefore_o what_o be_v become_v of_o your_o distinction_n of_o his_o be_v the_o only_a mediator_n of_o salvation_n but_o not_o the_o only_a mediator_n of_o intercession_n and_o by_o the_o by_o be_v please_v to_o observe_v that_o parmenianus_n the_o heretic_n against_o who_o st._n augustine_n write_v never_o think_v that_o the_o bishop_n be_v a_o mediator_n of_o salvation_n and_o yet_o st._n augustine_n say_v that_o if_o st._n john_n will_v have_v say_v so_o much_o of_o himself_o viz._n that_o he_o have_v be_v a_o
