The first clause, If I go, its a good note that Calvin hath on these words, this conditional Particle ought to be resolved into an Adverb of time, If I go; It is not a note of dubitation, if Christ should go to heaven or no, or a supposition, peradventure he may go to Heaven, peradventure not, but it serves for limitation of time when Christ doth go to Heaven. A like phrase you have, John 12 32. And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me. This he spake of what death he should die, if he be lifted on the Cross, he should save many by his death. The word if, doth not note a dubitation or a supposition, it may be, or it may not be, but it notes an Adverb of time, ⟨p. 116⟩when I am lifted up, and so in my Text, And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto my self, that where I am, there ye may be also. There is no difficulty in the first expression, If I go and prepare a place for you, from which words there are two observations, If I go.
