JOH. 17.9. I pray not for the world.
The controversial part being dispatched so far as was convenient in this place, we now come to the practical: We lead you out of the Camp that ye may gather honey; For you may ask To what purpose is all this Disputation? What matter is it whether Christ had a special or an universal love in his Death? I acknowledge it is very good to keep within the bounds of Sobriety and Piety, and not to be so disputative about the universality of Christs Death as to be solicitous whether we are in the number of those for whom he died▪ for whether he died for all or for some, If we repent not and believe there will be little comfort or advantage for us either way.
