For whom Christ hath offered up himself a Sacrifice to put away sin, for them doth he appear before God in heaven: and if he doth appear before1 God for them, he doth also make request for them But Christ prayed not for all men, professeth that he prayed not for the world.2 He prayed for believers and them that should believe hereafter, and testified that he would not pray for the rest. And it must be observed, that he prayeth for them that believe and shall believe, as they were Gods, and of God given to Christ, which formally is not the same with believers, though it be materially.3
