Haue those Angels which neuer sinned neede of Christ the Mediator?
The Angels had need of a Mediator, indeede not of redemption from sinne (for in that sense Christ is the Mediator betweene God and mena 1.1) but of conseruation in goodnes and grace, and of * com∣bining them againe vnder one head, to wit, that they might be a∣gaine vnited with the elect vnder one and the same head Christ, that so they might cleaue vnto God inseperably, and without all danger of falling in time to come. And so by this meanes that their righteousnes and integritie which is imperfect in the sight of Godb 1.2 might be couered before God with that most perfect and infinite righteousnesse of Christ: for which cause it is said, Ephes. 1.10. that God did purpose with himselfe to gather together againe as it were vnder one head all things which be in heauen and earth: that is,* 1.3 to bring them againe vnder one common head, to gather them againe together, and as it were to recall them backe againe to their head and to their beginning.
