IF we understand Prayer in the sense but now mentioned, what absurdity is it to say, that Christ, as a private man, prayed for the forgiveness of all his persecutors with his whole heart, that is, as intensely, earnestly, vehemently, and zealously as he could, in the utmost degree possible to an humane nature. In Luk. 22. 44. 'tis said, that Christ prayed [Greek or Hebrew] more earnestly, and his Sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground. That this prayer was with the whole heart of Christ, you will not deny, and yet the former part of this prayer (if thou be willing remove this cup from me) was not the prayer of Christ as Mediator, but only an expression of an antecedent or conditional will and desire, like unto this his prayer upon the Cross for the justification of all his persecutors.

That this prayer was with the whole heart of Christ, you will not deny, and yet the former part of this prayer (if thou be willing remove this cup from me) was not the prayer of Christ as Mediator, but only an expression of an antecedent or conditionall will and desire, like unto this his prayer upon the Crosse for the justification of all his persecutors.
