2. The omnipotent Efficacy of his Intercession proves that God is fully satisfied. He frees us from the greatest Evils, and obtains for us the greatest Good in the quality of Mediator.1 If any man sin, we have an Advocate with the Father Jesus Christ the Righteous; and he is the propitiation for our Sins, and not for ours only, but for the Sins of the whole world. He disarms the Anger of God, and hinders the effects of his Indignation against repenting Sinners. Now the prevalency of his Mediation is grounded on the perfection of his Sacrifice. The blessedness of Heaven is conferred on Believers according to his Will. Father, I will that those whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am to see my glory. 2His request is effectual, not only because He is Gods Son, and in highest favour with Him, but for his meritorious Sufferings.
