Resp. Isa. 53.12. He made intercession for the transgressors. Did Christ open his sides for thee, and will he not open his mouth to plead for thee?
Quest. But I have offended my High-Priest by distrusting his Blood, abusing his Love, grieving his Spirit, and will he ever pray for me?
Quest. But I have offended my High-Priest by distrusting his Bloud, abusing his Love, grieving his Spirit, and will he ever pray for me?

If so much Bowels in Aaron who was but a Type of Christ, how much more Bowels is in Christ, who will pray for them who have sinned against their High-Priest? Did not he pray for them that crucified him, Father forgive them?
