I answere; that this Popish manner of Praying, proo∣ueth euidently, that Thomas Becket is to the Papistes, a Mediator not onely of Intercession, but also of Redemp∣tion. I prooue it by sundry meanes and irrefragable rea∣sons. [ 1] First, because there is no Saluation in any, but in Iesus Christ: neither any other Name vnder Heauen,* 1.1 whereby we must be saued. [ 2] Secondly, for that the aun∣cient Catholique Church hath euer desired Remission of sinnes of God the Father, for and through Iesus Christ

his onely Sonne, and our onely Sauiour. [ 3] Thirdly, be∣cause onely the Blood of Iesus Christ,* 1.2 not the Blood of any other, is able to bring vs to Heauen. [ 4] Fourthly, be∣cause Iesus Christ with his owne Blood,* 1.3 (not the Blood of others,) hath perfectly accomplished the saluation of his Elect;* 1.4 and that hath he done once for all. [ 5] Fiftly, be∣cause an Angell came downe from Heauen,* 1.5 and imposed the name Iesus vpon the Sonne of God; yeelding this reason thereof, for that he should saue Gods people from their sinnes. [ 6] Sixtly, because all the workes of God are perfect: Which for all that could not be so, if Beckets Blood be a cause of our going to Heauen. [ 7] Seuenthly, be∣cause all Gods Children are rewarded farre aboue their condigne desertes; as I haue foundly and plentifully prooued, in the Conclusions of the ninth Chapter imme∣diately aforegoing.* 1.6 [ 8] Eightly, because S. Austen affirmeth constantly, that the best liuer vpon earth, shall perish euerlastingly, if he find not Mercie farre aboue his De∣sertes. But doubtlesse, hee that is rewarded aboue his Desertes, and standeth in need of Mercie for his owne Sinnes; that mans Blood is not a fit cause or meane, to bring others vnto Heauen.
