This Intercession of Christ is general and particular, for all and every faithful man. I pray not for the world, but for all that thou hast given me, Joh. 17. 9. for all that shall believe, vers. 20. ⟨p. 297⟩Simon, Simon, Satan hath desired to winnow you as wheat, but 1I have prayed for thee, Luk. 22 31, 32. As the high Priest went into the Sanctuary with the names of the twelve Tribes upon his breast: So Christ entered into the holiest of all with our persons in our behalf, and doth carry all his people upon his breast, and presents his desires unto his Father for them.
