CXLV expository sermons upon the whole 17th chapter of the Gospel according to St.…

Secondly, As Christ in a Mediatory way did thus receive equally every one to his charge and trust, so in the discharge of it, he had an equal respect to all. Christ did not will the salvation of one believer more than another: he did not intend his blood in the efficacy of it, more for Paul or Peter, then he did for Mary Magdalen a great sinner, if then we speak quoad affectum and intentionem, not quoad efficaciam, and fructum; So Christ was equally a Mediator to all that are given him by the Father. Though we judge that a most unsavoury and unthankful Doctrine, that holds, Christ did intentionally and equally die for all; for Judas as well as Peter; That Christ had no more love in his death to one then another; yet if we speak of those who are interested in him spiritually; so it's true, Christ died equally for all that are his, he made no difference in his Mediatory acts, his eye and love, with all that he did was to one, as well as another. None can say, he is my Christ more then another's, he intended me in his death more then another. This you heard proved by the Apostle, when he said, in Christ Jesus, there was no respect of persons, relations, or other differences.

Christ did not will the salvation of one beleever more than another: he did not intend his blood in the efficacy of it, more for Paul or Peter, then he did for Mary Magdalen a great sinner, if then we speak quoad affectum and intentionem, not quoad efficaciam, and fructum; So Christ was equally a Mediatour to all that are given him by the Father. Though we judge that a most unsavoury and unthankfull Doctrine, that holds, Christ did intentionally and equally die for all; for Judas as well as Peter; That Christ had no more love in his death to one then another; yet if we speak of those who are interessed in him spiritually; so it's true, Christ died equally for all that are his, he made no difference in his Mediatory acts, his eye and love, with all that he did was to one, as well as another. None can say, he is my Christ more then anothers, he intended me in his death more then another. This you heard proved by the Apostle, when he said, in Christ Jesus, there was no respect of persons, relations, or other differences.
