- Gal 3:16-21 : 16 To Abraham and his seede were the promises made.

It was added because of transgressions, tyl the seede came to whom the promise was made: and it was ordayned by Angels in the hande of a mediatour. 20 A mediatour is not a mediatour of one, but God is one. 21 Is the lawe then against the promise of God? God forbyd. For yf there had ben a lawe geuen which coulde haue geuen life: then no doubt righteousnesse shoulde haue ben by the lawe.
