Els vvhen thou shalt blesse vvith the spirit how shall hee that occupieth the rowme of the vnlearned say Amen at thy giving of thankes seeing hee vnderstandeth not vvhat thou sayest Verse 18.

TIm 2.3 For there is one GOD one also Mediator betweene God and men the Man CHRIST IESVS Note then As hee maketh not two sorts of gods but one God so hee admitteth not two sorts of mediators in Heaven but one Mediator onlie Eph. 2.18 For through Him vvee both haue an accesse by one Spirit vnto the Father Heb. 7.25 Wherefore He is able also to saue them to the vttermost that come vnto God by Him-selfe seeing Hee ever liveth to make intercession for them Note then That by Him-selfe and not by others Hee will haue vs come to GOD. 1. Iohn 2.1 If anie man sinne vvee haue an Advocate vvith the Father Iesus Christ the righteous and Hee is the propitiation for our sinnes Note then That to bee our Advocates the Saincts must also bee our propitiation which seeing none is but Christ on●…ie therefore Hee onlie is also our advocate allanerlie 2. Witnessing of Antiquitie AS for all Christian men sayeth Augustine they commende each another in their prayers to Go● but hee for whom no man prayeth but hee himselfe for all men this is the onelie and true Mediator Christ Iesus Aug. lib. 2. contra epist. parmen c. 8.

Authoritie of Scripture ROm. 10.14 How then shall they invocate Him in whom they haue not believed Note then That seeing wee must belieue onlie in God therefore saith Christ Iohn 14.1 Yee belieue in God belieue also in mee therefore also we must only invocate or in-call vpon God For cursed are they vvho trusteth in the creature Ier. 17.5 Rom. 8.15 For yee haue not received the spirit of bondage againe to feare but yee haue received the spirit of adoption vvhereby vvee cry Abba Father Note then That being Gods adopted sonnes wee are exhorted not to feare to goe to Him as to a loving Father and that the spirit of grace in our hearts teacheth vs to cry or in-call vpon none other but vpon God who is our Father Luke 11.2 And Hee saide to them When yee pray say Our Father vvhich art in Heaven c. Remarke then That Christ directeth vs onlie to pray to God Psal 50.15 Call vpon Mee in the day of troubles I vvill d●liver thee and thou shalt glorifie mee Loe Gods owne precept to in-call vpon Him w th His gracious promise of granting our Prayer to encowrage vs and that to H●m o●●ie belongeth the religious worship both of Prayer and Prayse 2 Wi●n●ssing of Antiquitie IT is cleare then sayeth Athanasius that the Patriarch Iacob coupled none other in his praye●s with God than this VVord which hee therefore calleth the Ang●ll because hee onelie revealeth his Fathers will Ath●n contra Arrianos oratione 4. So lykewyse sayeth Augustine the names of the Sainctes are in their owne order rehearsed amongst vs but not invocated by vs. Aug. lib. 22. de civit Dei cap. 10. §. 4. That the Saincts know not our hearts nor our particular necessities and therefore are not to bee prayed vnto 1. Authoritie of Scripture 1. KIngs 8.39 Then heare thou in heaven thy dwelling place and forgiue and giue to everie man according to his wayes whose heart thou knowest for thou even thou onelie knowest the hearts of all the children of men Note then That hee who heareth in heaven must know the heartes and the sinceritie there-of which seeing the Sainctes doe not but God even God onelie therefore they heare not nor can not receiue our prayers Rom. 8.27 And hee that searcheth the hearts knoweth vvhat is the minde of the spirit c. Note then That hee must know the heart and the sinceritie of prayer flowing there-fra on whom wee must call seeing manie tymes ne●ther is our distresse visible nor our prayers vocall but God onelie knoweth the heart 2. Chron. 6.30 For thou o●elie knowest the heartes of the children of men sayeth the Scripture therefore God onlie is to be in-called vpon 2. King 22.19 Because thine heart was tender thou humbledst thy selfe before the Lord when thou heardest what I spake against this Place c. therefore I haue also heard thee sayeth the Lord.
