7. Nevertheless, I tell you the Truth; It is expedient for you, that I go away: for if I go not away, the ComFORTER will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will fend him unto you. 8. And when he is come, he will reprove the World of Sin, and of Righteousness, and of Judgment: 9. Of SIN, because they BELIEVE not on me; 10. OF RIGHTEOUSNESS, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more; 11. Of JUDGMENT, because the Prince of this World is judged. 12. I have yet many Things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. 13. Howbeit, when he the SPIRIT OF TRUTH is come, he will guide you into all Truth: for he shall not speak of himself: but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you Things to come. 14. He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you. 15. All Things that the Father hath, are mine: Therefore faid 1, that he shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you. 16. A little while, and ye shall not fee me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me: because I go to the Father. 17. Then faid some of his Disciples among themselves, What is this that he faith unto us, A little while and ye shall not fee me: and again, A little while and ye shall see me: and, Because I go to the Father ? 18. They faid therefore, What is this that he faith, A little while? We cannot tell what he faith. 19. Now Jejus knew that they were defirous to ask him, and faid unto them, Do ye inquire among your selves of that I faid, A little while and ye shall not see me: and again, A little while and ye shall see me ? 20. Verily, verily I say unto you, that ye shall weep and lament, but the World shall rejoice: and ye shall be forrowful, but your Sorrow shall be turned into Joy. 21. A Woman when she is in travail, hath Sorrow, because her Hour is come: but as foon as she is delivered of the Child, she remembreth no more the Anguish, for Joy that a Man is born into the World. 22. And ye now therefore have Sorrow: but I will fee see you again, and your Heart shall rejoice, and your Joy no Man taketh from you. 23. And in that Day ye shall ask me nothing: Verily, verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye * shall Ask the Father in my Name, he will GIVE it you. 24. Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my Name: Afk, and ye shall receive, that your Joy may be full. 25. These Things have I spoken unto you in Proverbs: the Time cometh when I shall no more speak unto you in Proverbs, but I shall shew you plainly of the Father. 26. At that Day ye shall ASK in my NAME: and I say unto you, that I will pray the Father for you : 27. For the Father himself loveth you, because ye have loved me, and have believed that I came out from God. 28. I came forth from the Father, and am come into the World: Again, I leave the World, and go to the Father. 29. His Disciples faid unto him, Lo, now speakest thou plainly, and speakest no Proverb. 30. Now are we fure that thou knowest all Things, and needest not that any Man should ask thee: by this we believe that thou camest forth from God. 31. Jefus answered them, Do ye now believe ? 32. Behold, the Hour cometh, yea, is now come, that ye shall be scattered, every Man to his own, and shall leave me alone: and yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me. 33. These Things have I spoken unto you, that in me ye might have PEACE. In the World ye shall have TRIBULATION: but be of good cheer, I have overcome the World. * See pag. Ixiii. Of the Efficacy of PRAYER, in the APOLOGY to the Harmony of the PSALMS. 1 CHAP. CHAP. XVII. This Chapter contains the folemn Address of our Saviour to his Almighty Father just before his Passion; wherein be prays that his Disciples might have Eternal Life, consisting in the Knowledge of God, and might be preserved in Unity and Truth; and that they and all other Believers might be glorified with him: which seems to be the Pattern or Model of his Eternal Intercession in the Heavens. Ver. 1. THESE Words fpake Jefus, and lift up his Eyes to Heaven, and faid, FATHER, the Hour is come; GLORIFY thy Son, that thy Son also may GLORIFY thee. 2. As thou hast given him POWER overall FLESH, that he should give ETERNAL LIFE to as many as thou hast given him. 3. (a) And this is LIFE ETERNAL, that they might KNOW thee the only true GOD, and Jesus Christ whom thou hast fent. 4. I have glorified thee on the Earth; I have finished the Work which thou gavest me to do. 5. And now, Ο Father, glorify thou me with thine own felf, with the GLORY which I had with thee before the World was. 6. I have MANIFESTED thy NAME unto the Men which thou gavest me out of the World: thine they were, and 26. Even so, Father, for so it seemed good in thy fight. 27. All Things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no Man. KNOWETH the Son but the Father: neither KNOWETH any Man the Father, fave the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him. 28. COME unto me, all ye that LABOUR, and are heavy laden, and I will give you REST. 29. Take my YOKE upon you, and learn of me, for I am meek and LOWLY in Heart, and ye shall find REST unto your Souls. 30. For my Yoke is EASY, and my Burden is LIGHT. John xiv. 6. Jefus faith unto him, I am the Way, and the Truth, and the Life. Rom. vi. 22. But now being made free from SIN, and become Servants to God, ye have your Fruit unto Holiness, and the End everlafting Life. 23. For the Wages of SIN is Death: but the GIFT of GOD is Eternal Life, through Jesus Chrift our Lord. Fer. xxxi. 34. And they shall teach no more every Man his Neighbour, and every Man his Brother, faying, I pray for them: I pray not for the World, but for them which thou hast given me, for they are thine. 10. And all mine are thine, and thine are mine, and I am glorified in them. 11. And now I am no more in the World, but these are in the World, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own Name, those whom thou haft given me, that they may be ONE, 21. Because that when they knew God, they GLORIFIED him not as God. I Cor. i. 21. For after that, in the WISDOM of God, the World by WISDOM knew not God, it pleased God by the Foolishness of Preaching to SAVE them that believe. 2 Cor. iv. 6. For God who com manded the LIGHT to shine out of DARKNESS, hath shined in our Hearts, to give the LIGHT of the KNOWLEDGE of the Glory of God, in the Face of Jesus Chrift. John x. 27. My Sheep hear my VOICE, and I know them, and they follow me. 28. And I give unto them Eternal LIFE, and they shall never perish, neither shall any pluck them out of my Hand. Ephef. i. 17. That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of Glory, may give unto you the SprRIT OF WISDOM and Revelation in the Knowledge of him: 18. The Eyes of your Understanding being enlightned; that ye may know what is the Hope of his Cat * See Page 21. in the Abstract of the Old Testament, of the Excellency of the Word of GOD. might have my Joy fulfilled CALLING, and what the RICHES in themselves. 14. I have given them thy WORD; and the World hath hated them, because they are not of the World, even as I am not of the World. 15. I pray not that thou shouldst take them out of the World, but that thou shouldst keep them from the EVIL. 16. They are not of the World, even as I am not of the World. 17. SANCTIFY them thro' thy Truth: thy WORD is Truth. pose which he 18. As of the GLORY of his Inheritance in 19. And what is the exceeding Chap.ii. 13. But now in Chrifi Fofou, ye who were fometimes far off, are made NICH by the Blood of Chr ft. 18. For through him we both have an Access by one Spirit unto the Father. Chap. iii. 8. Unto me, who am less than the least of all Saints, is this Grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the un searchable Riches of Chrift. 9. And to make all Men see, what is the Fellowship of the Mystery, which from the Beginning of the World hath been hid in God, who created ALL THINGS by Fifu Chrift: 10. To the Intent that now unto the Principalities and Powers in heavenly Places, might be known by the Church the manifold WisDOM of Gon, 11. According to the eternal Pur. Tourpofed in Chrift Fefus our Lord : 12. In whom we have Boldness and Access with Confidence by the Faith of him. Phil. iii. 8. I count all Things but Loss, for the EXCELLENCY of the KNOWLEDGE of Christ Felus my Lord: for whom I have fuffered the Loss of ALL THINGS, and do count them but Dung that I may win Chrift, 9. And be found in him, not having mine own RIGHTEOUSNESS, which is of the Law, but that which is through the FAITH of Chrift, the Righteousness which is of GOD by FAITH: 10. That I may KNOW him, and the Power of his Refurrection and the Fellowship of his Sufferings, being made CONFORMABLE unto his Death. 11. If by any means I might attain unto the Resurrection of the Dead. Col. iii. 3. For ye are dead, and your LIFE IS HID with Chrift in God. 4. When Chrift, who is our LIFE, shall appear, then shall ye also ap pear with him in GLORY. Chap. i. 9. For this Cause we also since the Day we heard it, do not ceafe to pray for you, and to defire that ye might be filled with the Knowledge of his WILL, in all Wisdom and spiritual Understanding. 10. That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being. fruitful in every good Work, and increasing in the KNOWLEDGE Of Gon. 2. Pet. i. 2. Grace and Peace be multiplied unto you through the Knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord, 3. According as his DIVINE POWER hath given unto us all Things that pertain unto LIFE and GODLINESS, through the Knowledge of him that hath called us to GLORY and VIRTUE. 5.
