Of the particular fyflem of Christianity; the Appointment of a Mediator., and the Redemption of the World by him. 'THERE is not, I think, any thing -*. relating to Christianity, which has been more objected against, than the Mediation of Christ, in some or other of its Parts.

So that the visible Government, which God exercises over the World, is by the Instrumentality and Mediation of Others. And how far his invisible Government be or be not so, » Tim. ii. 5. it is impossible to determine at all by Reason. Chap. And the Supposition, that Part of it is so, V. appears, to fay the least, altogether as credible, as the contrary.

And the Objection here referred to is urged, not against Mediation in That high, eminent and peculiar Sense, in which Christ is our Mediator; but absolutely against the whole Notion itself of a Mediator at all.
