MEDIATE, POWERS. Those incident to primary powers, given by a principal to his agent. For example, the general authority given to collect, receive and pay debts due by or to the principal is a primary power. In order to accomplish this it is frequently required to settle accounts, adjust disputed claims, resist those which are unjust, and answer and defend suits; these subordinate powers are sometimes called mediate powers. Story, Ag. Sec. 58. See Primary powers, and 1 Camp. R. 43, note 4 Camp. R. 163; 6 S. & R. 149. |

He also said that expanding the role of the Archbishop of Canterbury, as recommended by the report, could work if the incumbent is given "more of a conciliatory and mediatory role" but not the authority to, say, overrule decisions. The linkage between creation and salvation is explained in the active and mediatory function of Wisdom, which is reminiscent of the mediatory Wisdom figure in Ben Sira. Because the narrative "I" is not used in "Esther," the narrator appears to lose his mediatory role, adopting instead realistic, grotesque, comic descriptions, and symbolic representation, though still relying (through Esther herself) on self-conscious moments. |
