Of Inuocation of Saints.
ARNOVX.
[Section. 71] The Sonne of God is the onely Mediator which maketh inter∣cession for vs, and he alone it is who speaking for vs cannot be de∣nied or refused; and he onely, without whose mediation all others can preuaile nothing before God; and he onely that neuer ceasseth to intermediate for vs, and that by his onely and proper merits. But whither do they runne which thinke or imagine, that none others but onely the Sonne of God can implore the bounty and mercy of God by the merits of Christ: seeing they agree with vs, that we may obtaine all whatsoeuer we aske for our selues in his Name and that we shall not be denied for others?

He speaks according to his accustomed manner, which is, neuer to report the truth of our beleefe. We say nothing of all that which he maketh vs to say; we know well that others besides Iesus Christ may implore the bounty and mercy of God by the merits of Iesus Christ.
ARNOVX.
[Section. 72] Why sooner, or rather in this life then in the other, shall we haue this credite?
MOVLIN.
This also makes vs say things farre differing from our be∣leefe. Our Confession defineth not what we shall do in the life to come, nor whether we shall pray for those that are li∣uing after vs vpon the earth. That is not our difference. The question is, whether when we shall be in heauen, men that are on earth ought to pray vnto and call vpon vs. It is one thing to enquire or to seeke to know what the Saints do in heauen, and another thing to know what we should do here on earth. But M. Arnoux not vnderstanding the question, mixeth those two things together, which are much differing one from the other.
ARNOVX.
[Section. 73] Haue the Saints in heauen lesse knowledge of our necessities, or lesse charitie then we?
