SERMON XIX. Sheweth how a Godly Life (though it merit no good) is a Ground of Comfort at the hour of Death.
JOH. 17.4 I have glorified thee on Earth, I have finished the work thou gavest me to do.
IN this Verse our Saviour addeth a new argument for that Petition mention mentioned v. 1. Glorify me. Why? because I have glorified thee on earth, I have finished my work: Now his work is done, he expects his reward; These words our Saviour doth not speak out of ostentation and boasting, but to show the order God appointed, that by his sufferings when perfected he should enter into glory.
