only_o they_o which_o be_v give_v unto_o christ_n elect_a and_o elect_v of_o god_n have_v part_n in_o the_o mediation_n and_o intercession_n of_o christ._n 1._o so_o the_o apostle_n say_v he_o be_v

for_o they_o that_o by_o he_o shall_v be_v save_v 2._o thus_o our_o saviour_n pray_v for_o peter_n that_o his_o faith_n shall_v not_o fail_v luk._n 22._o 32._o thus_o he_o pray_v for_o lazarus_n

as_o zacharie_n see_v in_o that_o heavenly_a vision_n two_o olive_n tree_n drop_v oil_n through_o the_o pipe_n into_o the_o bowl_n of_o the_o golden_a candlestick_n zach._n 4._o 2._o 3._o so_o christ_n this_o olive_n tree_n do_v not_o convey_v his_o grace_n unto_o any_o by_o the_o virtue_n of_o his_o prayer_n which_o be_v as_o the_o pipe_n but_o to_o those_o that_o belong_v to_o the_o golden_a candlestick_n of_o his_o church_n and_o as_o the_o precious_a ointment_n upon_o aaron_n head_n run_v down_o upon_o his_o beard_n and_o to_o the_o border_n of_o his_o garment_n psal._n 133._o 2._o so_o christ_n our_o head_n give_v influence_n of_o grace_n and_o spirit_n of_o life_n only_o to_o his_o member_n 4._o for_o see_v the_o prayer_n of_o christ_n be_v always_o effectual_a and_o he_o be_v always_o hear_v of_o his_o father_n i_o know_v that_o thou_o hear_v i_o always_o joh._n 11._o 42._o it_o follow_v that_o the_o reprobate_n have_v no_o part_n in_o christ_n holy_a prayer_n because_o they_o receive_v no_o benefit_n by_o they_o christ_n also_o be_v the_o saviour_n of_o his_o body_n ephes._n 5._o 23._o he_o guide_v it_o by_o his_o grace_n and_o preserve_v it_o unto_o

saint_n john_n say_v that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v the_o propitiation_n for_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o whole_a world_n 1._o joh._n 2._o 2._o but_o see_v that_o our_o saviour_n vouchsafe_v not_o to_o comprehend_v the_o world_n in_o his_o prayer_n much_o less_o do_v he_o extend_v unto_o they_o the_o fruit_n of_o his_o death_n he_o will_v not_o offer_v himself_o to_o death_n for_o those_o for_o who_o he_o offer_v not_o his_o prayer_n neither_o can_v they_o be_v admit_v to_o his_o redemption_n that_o be_v exclude_v from_o his_o intercession_n and_o further_o faithful_a whereas_o christ_n be_v say_v to_o take_v away_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o world_n here_o the_o world_n only_o that_o be_v the_o universal_a company_n of_o the_o elect_a which_o be_v take_v from_o all_o degree_n and_o calling_n in_o the_o world_n be_v to_o be_v understand_v as_o where_o our_o saviour_n say_v john_n 14._o 31._o that_o the_o world_n may_v know_v that_o i_o love_v the_o father_n he_o mean_v the_o world_n of_o the_o faithful_a for_o unto_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o world_n christ_n do_v not_o show_v himself_o john_n 14._o 22._o so_o ambrose_n well_o say_v est_fw-la in_o electis_fw-la &_o praescitis_fw-la

of_o christ_n in_o our_o prayer_n three_o this_o doctrine_n give_v unto_o worldly_a mind_a and_o carnal_a man_n a_o fearful_a caveat_n prayer_n that_o they_o look_v unto_o themselves_o and_o in_o

protection_n and_o bar_v from_o his_o prayer_n and_o deprive_v of_o the_o virtue_n and_o efficacy_n of_o his_o holy_a mediation_n to_o they_o therefore_o be_v that_o say_v speak_v in_o the_o psalm_n
