Answ. Though this be most true, yet can we not say of any particular man, that he belongeth not to Gods election. If he be not now called, he may hereafter. Though he be now a wolf, he may become a lamb, as Paul did. Wherefore to resolve this point distinctly, all men jointly together may not be prayed for, because all belong not to Gods election. Yet all men severally (except before excepted) may and must be prayed for. So as there is not any one excepted. There is not any Country, any sort or condition of people, any one man of whom we can say, he is not to be prayed for.
