that_o we_o have_v a_o excellent_a high_a priest_n who_o be_v not_o only_o answerable_a to_o the_o type_n in_o die_v but_o also_o in_o intercede_v who_o die_v that_o he_o may_v make_v application_n of_o what_o he_o purchase_v by_o his_o death_n for_o further_o clear_v and_o prosecute_n of_o this_o use_n we_o shall_v speak_v a_o little_a to_o some_o few_o question_n as_o 1._o what_o this_o

way_n of_o supplication_n as_o he_o pray_v when_o on_o earth_n or_o as_o we_o pray_v or_o as_o one_o man_n entreat_v or_o intercee_v with_o another_o that_o way_n of_o intercede_v be_v inconsistent_a with_o his_o exaltation_n his_o humiliation_n be_v perfect_v and_o by_o and_o he_o be_v now_o exalt_v at_o the_o right_a hand_n of_o god_n 2._o it_o be_v no_o verbal_a thing_n no_o bring_n forth_o or_o utter_v of_o word_n there_o be_v no_o such_o language_n in_o our_o lord_n intercession_n and_o so_o we_o be_v not_o to_o conceive_v of_o his_o intercession_n as_o if_o he_o make_v a_o formal_a prayer_n that_o manner_n of_o deal_v or_o proceed_v be_v not_o now_o betwixt_o god_n and_o the_o mediator_n 3._o neither_o do_v this_o his_o intercession_n consist_v in_o any_o new_a particular_a act_n of_o his_o will_n as_o if_o he_o do_v act_n or_o will_v something_o that_o he_o do_v not_o before_o therefore_o he_o be_v say_v to_o live_v for_o ever_o to_o make_v intercession_n and_o to_o

and_o therefore_o 2._o let_v we_o see_v in_o the_o next_o place_n what_o i●_n be_v and_o more_o general_o we_o may_v take_v it_o up_o in_o such_o expression_n as_o the_o scripture_n make_v use_v of_o to_o hold_v it_o b●_n and_o in_o the_o similitude_n and_o analogy_n whence_o it_o be_v borrow_v for_o it_o be_v a_o borrow_a thing_n as_o the_o covenant_n of_o redemption_n be_v from_o compact_n among_o man_n because_o we_o can_v take_v up_o divine_a and_o mysterious_a thing_n except_o they_o be_v express_v after_o the_o manner_n of_o man_n for_o our_o capacity_n such_o be_v this_o as_o if_o a_o king_n son_n be_v interpose_v for_o a_o person_n not_o in_o good_a term_n with_o the_o king_n or_o for_o who_o he_o will_v have_v some_o benefit_n from_o the_o king_n his_o father_n the_o

yet_o he_o do_v not_o advocate_n our_o cause_n verbal_o as_o we_o say_v before_o and_o 1_o tim._n 2.5_o there_o be_v one_o god_n and_o one_o mediator_n between_o god_n and_o man_n where_o the_o

make_v his_o testament_n and_o confirm_v it_o by_o his_o death_n be_v look_v well_o that_o his_o death_n and_o the_o benefit_n purchase_v to_o elect_a sinner_n thereby_o may_v be_v make_v effectual_a and_o be_v as_o it_o be_v lie_v as_o agent_n and_o advocate_n at_o court_n to_o procure_v and_o bring_v about_o this_o business_n according_a to_o that_o john_n 17.19_o 20_o 24._o for_o their_o sake_n

the_o humane_a nature_n only_o which_o lessen_v the_o consolation_n of_o believer_n and_o be_v inconsistent_a with_o the_o union_n of_o the_o two_o nature_n and_o detract_v from_o the_o weight_n that_o his_o godhead_n give_v to_o his_o intercession_n 3_o for_o who_o do_v he_o intercede_v there_o be_v here_o extreme_n on_o both_o hand_n to_o be_v eshew_v 1._o some_o make_v his_o intercession_n

to_o all_o but_o we_o according_a to_o the_o scripture_n acknowledge_v no_o such_o intercession_n to_o belong_v to_o christ_n especial_o as_o mediator_n however_o he_o may_v as_o man_n under_o the_o

consider_v the_o object_n of_o his_o intercession_n as_o mediator_n to_o be_v only_o the_o elect_n as_o indeed_o they_o be_v it_o overturn_v both_o this_o and_o the_o former_a opinion_n if_o he_o
