blameless_a undefiled_a separate_a from_o sinner_n and_o make_v high_a than_o the_o heaven_n heb._n 7.26_o as_o the_o apostle_n show_v that_o they_o can_v not_o be_v high_a priest_n who_o have_v need_v to_o offer_v for_o their_o own_o sin_n as_o well_o as_o for_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o people_n heb._n 7.27_o so_o they_o can_v be_v mediator_n who_o have_v need_n of_o a_o mediator_n for_o themselves_o now_o none_o be_v perfect_o just_a but_o only_o one_o the_o saint_n in_o heaven_n howsoever_o they_o be_v full_o justify_v sanctify_a glorify_a yet_o in_o themselves_o they_o be_v

pro_fw-la quo_fw-la nullus_fw-la interpellat_n sed_fw-la ipse_fw-la pro_fw-la omnibus_fw-la 4._o a_o mediator_n must_v be_v a_o propitiator_n that_o be_v bring_v something_o to_o god_n that_o may_v

rot_a distinction_n of_o mediator_n of_o redemption_n &_o intercession_n there_o be_v but_o one_o mediator_n of_o redemption_n say_v they_o but_o many_o mediator_n of_o intercession_n even_o all_o the_o saint_n in_o heaven_n whereunto_o i_o say_v 1._o that_o these_o four_o property_n be_v especial_o require_v in_o a_o advocate_n and_o mediator_n of_o intercession_n rather_o than_o in_o a_o redeemer_n but_o they_o be_v not_o to_o be_v find_v in_o any_o but_o in_o one_o 2._o the_o apostle_n here_o affirm_v that_o there_o be_v one_o mediator_n mean_v rather_o a_o mediator_n of_o intercession_n for_o throughout_o this_o whole_a chapter_n he_o be_v speak_v of_o prayer_n and_o intercession_n 3._o and_o this_o distinction_n be_v idle_a because_o none_o can_v be_v a_o advocate_n or_o mediator_n of_o intercession_n but_o he_o that_o be_v our_o redeemer_n for_o the_o word_n advocate_n be_v borrow_v of_o lawyer_n and_o signify_v he_o only_o that_o do_v plead_v the_o justice_n of_o his_o client_n cause_n a_o stranger_n in_o the_o court_n may_v become_v a_o petitioner_n to_o the_o judge_n and_o entreat_v favour_n for_o the_o guilty_a person_n but_o advocate_n be_v proctor_n and_o patron_n of_o their_o client_n therefore_o he_o alone_o be_v our_o advocate_n who_o be_v our_o redeemer_n can_v plead_v his_o justice_n bestow_v upon_o we_o and_o saint_n though_o they_o be_v petitioner_n to_o god_n in_o our_o behalf_n yet_o because_o they_o redeem_v we_o not_o they_o can_v be_v our_o advocate_n to_o plead_v the_o justice_n of_o our_o cause_n it_o be_v sure_a that_o
