The text.

This Moyses, whom they denied, saieng, who hath appoin∣ted thee prince and captaine? him God sent prince and ∴ re∣deemer with the hand of the angell that appeered to him in the bush.

The note.

Christ is our redeemer, and yet Moyses is here called a redeemer, so Christ is our mediator and aduocate, and yet we may haue saints our inferiour mediators and aduocates also, See Annot. 1. Io. 2. 1.

The answer.

You would faine finde some what to excuse, and hide your in∣tolerable sacriledge, and robbing Christ of his honor. Moyses is called a redéemer in two respects: One in that he was a figure of Christ, and bare therefore the name of him, whom he figured. Secondly bicause he was Gods minister, and instrument raised to redéeme, and deliuer the people of Israell from the seruitude of Pharao, and thraldome of Egypt. What is this to those that neither are figures of Christ, neither yet haue deliuered vs from any temporall bondage? But if you could, you would leaue Christ nothing proper or peculiar to himselfe. Your annotation shall elsewhere be considered of.
