De mediatoris invocatione

IV. Who can be the Mediator.
It is also certain that no one can perform the office of Mediator for us before God the Father, except one who is a mediator between God, who is angry at sin, and us, who are guilty of sin: one who is most dear to God and aware of the secret decree concerning our Redemption: one who by the virtue of his merits is an alexikakos averter of evil: who is aware of our affairs and prayers, etc.

V. The Status of the Controversy.
The status of the controversy between our Christian churches and the Jesuits, the triarii elite soldiers in the Roman legion, used here to mean the chief defenders of the Roman Church, is this: whether or not, besides Jesus Christ, the Virgin Mary, the holy Angels, or the spirits of elect men are to be held by us as intercessors before God and for that reason worshipped, or whether they are not. We, with God, defend the negative: the Jesuits, however, the affirmative. Pious and prudent men will be able to easily gather which side feels more rightly and truly from the following disputation.

VI. Definition of the Mediator.
A Mediator between God and men is a theanthropos God-man person, and therefore a Mediator, and homoousios of the same substance with both: one who is especially dear to the Father above all others, so much so that for his sake the Elect in him from eternity, and reconciled men, are dear to the same: who from the beginning has been most benignly present to the Church—by the efficacy of his merits, the hearing of prayers, and the outpouring of the Holy Spirit—as a King, Priest, and Prophet, is present, and will be present until the end of the world: finally, he is the one in whom it has pleased the Father to recapitulate all things. He to whom this definition applies is the only true Mediator.
