That which I shall now do,1 is, to consider the influence of the Priesthood of Christ in those two Grand Acts thereof, his Oblation & Intercession, into the Perseverance of Saints, according to that of the Apostle Heb. 5. 27. Wherefore he is able also to save to the uttermost them that come unto God by him, seeing he liveth ever to make intercession for them. And I will do it the more carefully, because though it be one of the greatest strengths of our Cause, yet I shall walk in a path, wherein none shall meet me, for the most part of the way, to make any opposition.
