So Moses did pray for the people when they had sinned, Exod, 32.30, 31. Either pardon them, or let me have no mercy. Thus God would have Job pray for his friends, Job 42.7, 8. So did Jeremiah, ch. 13.17, & 14.17.18. Our Saviours example is a full pattern, Luk. 23.24. Father forgive them, they know not what they do. So Stephen the first Martyr, with a loud voice prayed for his adversaries, Act. 7.60. Lord lay not this sin to their charge.
