For Abraham is ignorant of us, and Israel acknowledgeth us not: Nor doth our Saviour himself send us to God any other way but by him, nor direct us to pray in any other Name but in his; nor doth the Scriptures own any more then one Mediatour between God and Men, the Man Christ Jesus. To address ones self to a plurality of Inferior Spirits, and subordinate Mediatours, is down right Heathenism, which Religion Christ came to destroy, and forbad us to Pray, as the Heathens did; and so we are not only to forbear all Battologies and vain Repetitions, which the Pagans used; but also we must declaim all Plurality of Intercessors, which the Pagans believed. And because this is a useful speculation, I would observe unto you these four things, touching the Religion of the Old Heathens, much whereof these Gnosticks in my Text did insert into their Religion, |
