42 Thegreat Gofpd-Myfiery of the Saints comfort andholinefl: nor no Promife, nor no Example; and yet the Lord Jefus Chrift does not chide her away, does not tell her, fhe had prefumed ; but, 0woman thy faith hath faxed thee, thy faith bath made the whole. Let me fpeake this home, we have a Command now to beleeve in Chrift; and a Promife : Thole that come unto him, he ever liveth to make Inter - ceflion for them : And we have Examples of many that have come unto Jefus Chrift, born themfelves upon his Interceflion, andhave gone away cured : what ! was it no Prefumption for the woman to come and touch Chrift, without a Comrnandement, and a Promife, and an Exam- ple? andhave you Examples, and have you Promifes, and have you Comrnandements to beleeve, and will you fay this is Prefumption ? Be not deceived, it is no Preempti- on for thee, poor foul, to bear thy feifat length upon Jefus Chrift. Secondly, To make this out a little more fully : I fhall difcover who thole are that the Interceflion of yetis Chrift does belong unto. If any man fn, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jefus Chrifi the righteous. You will fay, This is tobe carried upon thofe that were fpoke ofbefore: and thofe were fuch as had fellowfhip with theFather: Trudy, our fellowfhip is with the Father, andwith his Sonne yefue Chrifi ; Chap. z verfe 3. Now ifany manfin, wehave an Advocate with the Father, Jefus Chrifi the righteous. Ifa- ny man that hath fellowfhip with the Father, or Chrift, fin; they havean Advocatewith God the Father. Firft therefore ftand you by I pray, that we will take for gran- ted, all you that ever had any fellowfhipwith God the Fa- ther, or with Jefus Chrift; this Doctrine ofthe Interceffi- on ofJefus Chrift, and thecomfort hereof does belong to you. Moreover, In the 17. Chapter of John, there we find, that our Saviour faies, He prayes for thofe that dobeleeve, and fhould beleeve. Thofethat he prayes for here, he in- tercedes for in Heaven : Neither pray Ifor thefe alone (at the 2O. verfe) but for them altowhichPall beleeve on me through thy word
