Spiritus est vicarius Christi in terra. The poore mans garden, wherein are flowers of the scriptures, and doctours, very necessarie and profitable for the simple and ignoraunt people to reade: / truely collected and diligently gathered together, by Iohn Northbrooke, minister and preacher of the worde of God. Seene and allowed, according to the order appointed in the Queenes iniunctions..

¶ Christ is onely our mediatour and inter∣cessour, to God the father.

COme vnto mée, all that are wearie, and laden,* 1.1 and I will ease you.

And there was a voice from heauen, saiyng,* 1.2 thou art my beloued sonne, in thee I am pleased.

Uerely, verely, I saie vnto you, he that entreth* 1.3 not in by the doore into the sheepefolde, but climeth vp an o∣ther waie, he is a thief and a robber.

I am the doore: by mée if any man enter in, he shal be saued,* 1.4 and shall goe in and out, and finde pasture.

Iesus saide vnto hym, I am the waie, and the trueth, and* 1.5 the life. No man commeth vnto the father but by mée, verely, verely, I saie vnto you: whatsoeuer ye shall aske the father in* 1.6 my name, he will giue it you.

If God be on our •…•…ide, who can be against vs? Who spared* 1.7 not his owne sonne, but gaue hym for vs all to death, how shal he not with hym giue vs all thynges also?

Who shall condemne? it is Christ whiche is dead, yea ra∣ther,* 1.8 whiche is risen againe, who is also at the right hande of God, and maketh request and intercession for vs.

Whosoeuer shall call on the name of the Lorde, shall bee* 1.9 saued.

Ye are of hym in Christe Iesus, who of God is made vnto* 1.10 vs, wisedome, and righteousnes, and sanctification, and redem∣ption.

There is one God, and one mediatour, betweene God and* 1.11 man, whiche is the man Christ Iesus.

This man, bicause he endureth for euer, hath an euerla∣styng* 1.12 Priesthoode.

Wherfore he is able also perfectly to saue theim that come* 1.13 vnto God by hym, seeyng he euer liueth, to make intercession for theim.

My Babes, these thynges write I vnto you, that ye synne* 1.14 not: And if any man sinne, we haue an aduocate with the fa∣ther, Iesus Christ the iuste,

And he is the reconsiliation for our sinnes: and not for ours* 1.15 onely, but also for the synnes of the whole worlde.
