The use of all: Containing some Encouragements for weak Believers, from Christs Intercession, out of HEB. 7. 25.
The use of all: Containing some Encouragements for weake Beleevers, from Christs Intercession, out of HEB. 7. 25.
Now for a Conclusion of this Discourse I will add a brief Use of Encouragement; and this, suited to the lowest Faith of the weakest Believer, who cannot put forth any act of Assurance, and is likewise discouraged from coming in unto Christ. And I shall confine my self only unto what those most comfortable words (as any in the book of God) do hold forth, which the Apostle hath uttered concerning Christs Intercession (the Point in hand;) [Wherefore he is able to save to the utmost, those that come to God by him: seeing he ever liveth to make Intercession for them,] words which I have had the most recourse unto in this Doctrinal part, of any other, as most tending to the clearing of many things about Intercession: And which I would also commend to, and leave with poor Believers to have recourse unto for their comfort, as a sufficient Abundary of Consolation unto ⟨p. 195⟩their Souls, and as a Catholicon or universal Cordial against all faintings and misgivings of spirit whatsoever.
