Scripture mistaken the ground of Protestants and common plea of all new reformers against the ancient Catholicke religion of England : many texts quite mistaken by Nouelists are lay'd open and redressed in this treatis[e] by Iohn Spenser.

The first Proof mistaken. The word mediatour, misapplyed against vs.

THis text speakes of a mediatour of Re∣demtion only as appeares by the words following v. 6. One mediatour &c. who gaue him∣selfe a ransome for all,* 1.1 which all Romain Catho∣likes grant to be but only one, to wit, our Sauiour. If any man sin, we haue an Aduocate with the Father, Iesus Christ the righteous:* 1.2 and he is the pro∣pitiation for our sins, and not for ours, but also for the sins of the whole world: It is Christ that dyed, yea rather that is risen againe, who is euen at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for vs.
