i_o be_o afraid_a that_o a_o angel_n shall_v be_v angry_a if_o i_o serve_v he_o not_o in_o stead_n of_o my_o god_n but_o he_o will_v be_v offend_v when_o a●_n thou_o will_v serve_v he_o for_o he_o be_v good_a and_o love_v god_n and_o as_o the_o devil_n wax_v angry_a when_o they_o be_v not_o serve_v so_o angel_n grow_v angry_a when_o they_o be_v serve_v by_o way_n of_o religion_n in_o stead_n of_o god_n thereof_o and_o in_o his_o meditation_n upon_o the_o 96._o psalm_n let_v we_o behold_v say_v he_o the_o holy_a man_n which_o be_v like_a to_o the_o angel_n when_o thou_o have_v find_v out_o

we_o be_v man_n subject_a to_o passion_n as_o you_o be_v consider_v then_o these_o example_n which_o show_v that_o godly_a man_n hinder_v such_o as_o will_v serve_v they_o by_o way_n of_o religion_n for_o god_n and_o have_v rather_o that_o one_o only_a god_n be_v serve_v one_o only_a god_n worship_v and_o that_o to_o he_o alone_o oblation_n be_v make_v and_o so_o all_o saint_n and_o angel_n seek_v not_o but_o the_o glory_n of_o this_o only_a god_n who_o they_o love_v they_o have_v no_o other_o study_n then_o to_o inflame_v we_o and_o to_o draw_v by_o force_n all_o those_o that_o they_o love_v to_o his_o service_n to_o his_o contemplation_n and_o to_o the_o invocation_n of_o his_o holy_a name_n the_o angel_n declare_v this_o alone_a god_n and_o not_o themselves_o for_o for_o that_o cause_n be_v they_o call_v angel_n that_o be_v to_o say_v messenger_n of_o god_n because_o they_o be_v his_o soldier_n they_o seek_v nothing_o but_o the_o glory_n of_o their_o captain_n if_o they_o

for_o the_o deliverance_n of_o which_o the_o mediator_n between_o god_n and_o man_n which_o be_v the_o man_n christ_n jesus_n be_v not_o necessary_a and_o in_o his_o second_o book_n of_o the_o

for_o our_o sin_n now_o as_o s._n austin_n preach_v this_o doctrine_n to_o the_o hipponians_n for_o the_o space_n of_o forty_o year_n to_o wit_n from_o the_o year_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n about_o 391_o unto_o the_o year_n 430_o so_o will_v he_o confirm_v it_o by_o his_o write_n which_o i_o have_v allege_v and_o by_o many_o form_n of_o prayer_n which_o he_o make_v to_o god_n only_o which_o here_o i_o can_v cite_v except_o i_o shall_v bring_v in_o some_o of_o his_o whole_a book_n which_o be_v in_o no_o wise_a necessary_a see_v that_o by_o those_o piece_n and_o parcel_n which_o

etc._n and_o it_o be_v no_o marvel_n among_o so_o many_o people_n leave_v off_o in_o time_n then_o i_o pray_v you_o from_o detract_n the_o catholic_a church_n in_o blame_v the_o fashion_n of_o such_o as_o itself_o do_v condemn_v and_o daily_o seek_v to_o correct_v they_o as_o unto_o ward_n child_n and_o in_o his_o answer_n to_o the_o false_a accusation_n of_o a_o certain_a philosopher_n call_v

that_o the_o christian_a catholic_n of_o who_o even_o in_o your_o town_n there_o be_v a_o church_n establish_v do_v not_o serve_v religious_o any_o of_o the_o dead_a nor_o worship_n in_o stead_n of_o

of_o his_o son_n jesus_n christ_n he_o expound_v it_o as_o though_o the_o apostle_n have_v there_o make_v a_o express_a mention_n of_o our_o saviour_n intercession_n as_o you_o may_v perceive_v by_o those_o word_n of_o his_o second_o book_n contra_fw-la parm._n cap._n 8._o the_o mutual_a prayer_n say_v he_o of_o all_o the_o member_n which_o yet_o labour_n upon_o the_o earth_n aught_o to_o

will_v be_v so_o also_o and_o so_o there_o will_v be_v many_o mediator_n which_o will_v not_o agree_v with_o that_o which_o elsewhere_o he_o say_v that_o there_o be_v one_o mediator_n between_o god_n and_o man_n the_o second_o cause_n concession_n why_o you_o confess_v that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v call_v the_o only_a mediator_n be_v because_o he_o be_v not_o only_o so_o by_o reason_n of_o that_o office_n whereby_o he_o mediate_v for_o we_o and_o reconcele_v we_o unto_o god_n but_o by_o reason_n also_o of_o his_o nature_n for_o he_o be_v in_o the_o midst_n between_o god_n and_o man_n be_v both_o god_n and_o man_n together_o which_o the_o saint_n be_v not_o and_o for_o this_o cause_n he_o be_v call_v the_o only_a intercessor_n like_v as_o the_o good_a and_o holy_a father_n in_o time_n past_a have_v teach_v we_o to_o wit_n s._n austin_n in_o the_o nine_o book_n of_o the_o city_n of_o god_n and_o 17._o chapter_n s._n cyril_n in_o his_o 12._o book_n s._n fulgence_n in_o his_o second_o

say_v that_o it_o make_v whole_o for_o us._n and_o tertullian_n or_o as_o some_o think_v novatianus_n which_o in_o those_o day_n be_v priest_n to_o the_o roman_a church_n propose_v we_o this_o reason_n incommunicable_a to_o the_o saint_n in_o the_o book_n of_o the_o trinity_n chap_n 13._o 16._o to_o show_v we_o that_o if_o christ_n be_v only_a man_n as_o the_o saint_n be_v he_o can_v not_o be_v out_o mediator_n not_o hear_v and_o succour_v we_o unto_o god_n his_o father_n through_o his_o intercession_n if_o say_v he_o christ_n be_v man_n only_o how_o be_v he_o present_v every_o where_o be_v call_v upon_o see_v it_o be_v not_o the_o nature_n of_o man_n but_o of_o god_n that_o he_o can_v be_v present_a in_o all_o place_n and_o if_o christ_n be_v man_n only_o why_o be_v a_o man_n invocate_v in_o our_o prayer_n for_o a_o mediator_n see_v the_o invocation_n of_o a_o man_n be_v judge_v to_o be_v forceless_a to_o perform_v salvation_n if_o christ_n also_o be_v only_a man_n why_o be_v confidence_n put_v in_o he_o see_v that_o the_o hope_n which_o be_v place_v in_o man_n be_v accurse_v wherefore_o he_o which_o be_v declare_v to_o be_v make_v medtatour_n between_o god_n and_o man_n be_v find_v to_o have_v unite_v in_o himself_o both_o god_n and_o man._n the_o three_o reason_n which_o you_o allege_v that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v call_v the_o only_a mediator_n be_v because_o that_o he_o be_v mediator_n in_o such_o a_o sort_n for_o all_o man_n that_o he_o have_v no_o need_n of_o any_o mediator_n either_o for_o himself_o or_o for_o other_o now_o the_o saint_n aswell_o in_o this_o world_n as_o in_o the_o other_o though_o they_o be_v mediator_n and_o intercessor_n for_o we_o in_o reconcile_a we_o to_o god_n through_o their_o prayer_n have_v nevertheless_o needs_o of_o

jesus_n christ_n say_v s._n paul_n without_o the_o interposition_n of_o any_o other_o go_v unto_o god_n of_o himself_o to_o make_v intercession_n for_o us._n this_o reason_n have_v be_v note_v by_o saint_n austin_n that_o great_a doctor_n of_o the_o church_n negation_n when_o he_o say_v thus_o the_o christian_n pray_v one_o for_o another_o but_o be_v for_o who_o no_o man_n make_v intercession_n and_o who_o make_v intercession_n for_o all_o be_v the_o true_a and_o only_a mediator_n we_o also_o admit_v of_o this_o three_o reason_n that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v the_o only_a mediator_n because_o that_o he_o have_v no_o need_n of_o any_o other_o mediator_n either_o for_o himself_o or_o for_o other_o but_o we_o deny_v that_o which_o you_o affirm_v without_o any_o proof_n out_o of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n to_o wit_n that_o the_o saint_n aswell_o in_o this_o world_n as_o in_o the_o other_o anticipation_n be_v our_o mediator_n and_o intercessor_n for_o albeit_o the_o scripture_n command_v the_o saint_n live_v in_o this_o world_n to_o pray_v the_o one_o for_o the_o other_o yet_o you_o can_v in_o no_o wise_a from_o thence_o conclude_v that_o they_o be_v our_o mediator_n and_o
