Chapter VIII: More's reply to the former arguments for the inseparable conjunction of

Christ to be one entire mean respecting the accomplishment of the same proposed end, and to have the same personal object:-- I. From their conjunction in Scripture; II. From their being both acts of the same priestly office; III. From the nature of his intercession; IV. From the identity of what he procured in his oblation with what results from his intercession; V. From their being conjoined by himself, John xvii.; VI. From the sad consequence of separating them, as cutting off all consolation by his death.

More's reply to the former arguments for the inseparable conjunction of Christ's oblation and intercession, viz.:-- I. As to Christ being a double mediator, both general and special, alleged from 1 Tim. ii. 5, iv. 10; Heb. ix. 15. II. As to the tenor of Christ's intercession, according to Isa. liii. 12; Luke xxiii. 34; John xvii. 21-23; Matt. v. 14-16; John i. 9. III. As to Christ being a priest for all in respect of one end, and for some only in respect of all ends, alleged from Heb. ii. 9, ix. 14, 15, 26; John i. 29; 1 John ii. 2; Matt. xxvi. 28.

BOOK II. removes false and supposed ends of the death of Christ, with the distinctions invented to salve the manifold contradictions of the pretended universal atonement, rightly stating the controversy.
