First, It is Expressly said, No man can come to me, Except the Father which hath sent me, draw him. By this Text, there is not only insinuated, that in man is want of power, but also of will, to come to Jesus Christ, they must be drawn; they come not, if they be not drawn: and observe, it is not man, no nor all the Angels in Heaven, that can draw one sinner to Jesus Christ. No man cometh to me, except the Father which hath sent to me, draw him. Joh. 6. 44.

Secondly, Again, No man can come to me, except it were given him of my Father. Joh. 6. 65. It is an heavenly gift that maketh man come to Jesus Christ.
Thirdly, Again, It is written in the Prophets, they shall be all Taught of God; every one therefore that hath heard and learned of the Father, cometh to me. Joh. 6. 45.
