3. 1Christ prays with great enlargement for the good of his Disciples. I do not read in above 3. or 4. verses, that Christ prayed for himself; all the rest of the prayer was for his disciples, that God would keep them in unity & truth, and glorify them, and all other believers with himself in heaven. Here then behold the wonderful affection that Jesus Christ bears unto his Church, and people, that when he was to die, he should pray more for the saving of their souls, then for the saving of his own life, o! herein the superabundant love of Jesus Christ is manifested, who when he was in expectation to die a painful, shameful, ⟨p. 9⟩accursed death, under going the wrath of God, due unto our sins, yet that then he would remember his elect servants, in whose stead he stood, and for whose sins he died, with such enlargement of heart in prayer.
