Christ has forbidden the People to Pray for them ••at have sinned that Sin, & therefore will not Pray ••r them himself, but he prays for them that come.
Fourthly, He that hath sinned that Sin Christ is •o him of no more Worth, than it a Man that is •ead. For he hath crucified to him the Son of God▪ Yea, & hath also counted his precious Blood as an unholy thing Heb 6 10. Now he that hath this low esteem of Christ, will never come to him for Life, •ut the Coming Man has an high Esteem of his Per•on, Blood and Merits. Therefore he that is coming has not committed that Sin.

Fifthly, If he that hath sinned this Sin might yet come to Jesus Christ then must the truth of God be overthrown, which saith in one place. He hath never Forgiveness. And n another, I will in no wise cast out. Therefore that he may never have Forgiveness, he shall never have an Heart to come o Jesus Christ. It is impossible that such an one should be renewed either to, or by Repentance
