This is the Sum and pith of the great request of the Lord Jesus, which he puts up in the behalf of all believers, as the choicest legacy, he would bequeath unto them, and leave with them, and lay in for their behalf; when he was to leave the world: that which he propounds in the first place, before all others, repeats again, and pursues it, as the grand Suit of all, that did concern their good: That they may all be one. If once this can be attained, nothing can be wanting, what ever shall be desired, and is truly good. The unity of Believers is the great privilege, of which they can partake, and for which our Saviour prays.
