Again, another Scripture for this is the 1. Cor. 2.7. which speaks somewhat of this also, though not altogether so fully as the former. The words are these.

John. you shall find in that chapter many expressions to that purpose; that those that did believe in Christ were such as God the Father had given him: and you may find by divers expressions there apparently, that there was an agreement, a transaction between the Father, and the son, long before the thing was done; verse 16. I have manifested my name to the men thou gavest me out of the world; thine they were, and thou gavest them me, and they have kept thy word; he doth not speak merely of giving them at this time; but of Giving them to e son before now, for he makes that to be the ground of their belief; he
