Demonstrations from Christs last Fare-well to his Disciples.
IT was long before that Christ did break his mind to his Disciples, that he was to leave them, and to go away to heaven from them, (for Joh. 16. 4. he says, he had forborne to tell it them from the beginning:) But when he begins to acquaint them with it, he then at once leaves with them an abundance of his heart, and that not only how it stood towards them, and what it was at the present, but what it would be when he should be in his glory. Let us (to this end) but briefly peruse his last carriage, and his Sermon at his last Supper which he did eat with them, as it is on purpose penned and recorded by the Evangelist John; ⟨p. 6⟩and we shall find this to be the drift of those long Discourses of Christs, from the 13. to the 18. Chap. I will not make a Comment on them, but only briefly take up such short observations, as do more specially hold forth this thing in hand.
