Secondly, that Christ prayed not for all and every one of his crucifiers, D. Ames confirmeth, from comparison of this text with other places of Scripture. Coron. Art. 2. c. 9. Art. 5. c. 5. Amongst these his enemies there might be some that had committed that great and unpardonable sin against the holy Ghost Math. 12. 24, 31, 32. There were some, by the confession of Arminius himself, that were finally impenitent; and final impenitency in general, and the sin against the holy Ghost, which formally includes final impenitency, are sins unto death, for the pardon of which, if known, prayer is not lawful. 1 John 5. 16. And therefore (saith Austin) if Gods Church knew, who were predestinated to be sent into eternal fire, with the Devil, and his Angels, they would no more pray for such then they would pray for the Devil himself. Now Christ knew who had committed the sin against the holy Ghost, and who would be finally impenitent; for he himself knew full well what was in man. Joh. 2. 28. Yea he knew from the beginning who they were that believed not. Joh. 6. 64. See the Learned and reverend M. Owen in his Treatise of Universal Redemption. p. 44. 45.
Secondly, that Christ prayed not for all and every one of his crucifyers, D. Ames confirmeth, from comparison of this text with other places of Scripture. Coron. Art. 2. c. 9. Art. 5. c. 5. Amongst these his enemies there might be some that had committed that great and unpardonable sinne against the holy Ghost Math. 12. 24, 31, 32. There were some, by the confession of Arminius himselfe, that were finally impenitent; and finall impenitency in generall, and the sinne against the holy Ghost, which formally includes finall impenitency, are sinnes unto death, for the pardon of which, if knowne, prayer is not lawfull. 1 Iohn 5. 16. And therefore (saith Austin) if Gods Church knew, who were predestinated to be sent into eternall fire, with the Divell, and his Angells, they would no more pray for such then they would pray for the Divell himselfe. Now Christ knew who had committed the sinne against the holy Ghost, and who would be finally impenitent; for he himselfe knew full well what was in man. Ioh. 2. 28. Yea he knew from the begining who they were that believed not.
