§. 133. Of restraining the benefit of Christs Offices to the Elect.
The whole reason thus set down, Which God hath given me, implieth a restrain of the efficacy of Christs Prophetical Office to them alone whom God hath given him. It intendeth that all they shall partake of the benefit of Christs Prophetical Office: and thereby be brought to God: and none but they. To the […] purpose saith Christ, All that the Father giveth me shall come to me, Joh. 6. 37. Th• phrase is both extensive and exclusive. It extendeth it self to every one of God Elect, who are given by God to Christ: and it excludeth all but them. So much […] intended by this phrase, As many as were ordained to eternal life, believed, (Acts 13. 48.) All they and none but they. This exclusive restraint Christ doth somewhat more expressly set down where he saith to his Disciples, Unto you it is gi• to know the mysteries of the Kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given, Mat. 13. 1•. See more hereof §. 113.
