Keep through thine own Name, those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one as we are Father, I will that those wh•r• thou hast given me▪ may be with me where I am; that they may be, hold my Glory which thou hast given me; for thou lovedst me before the Foundation of the World, Joh. 6.39 Chap. 10 28. Chap. 17.26 9 10 24.
All these Sentences are of the same in port with the Text; and the Alls and Manys. These They, &c in these their several Sayings of Christ, are the same with all the Given in the Text. All that the Father giveth.
So that (as I said before) the Word all, as also other Words, must not be taken in such sort as our foolish Fancies, or groundless. Opinions will prompt us to; but do admit of an Enlargement, or Restriction, according to the true Meaning and Intent of the Text. We must therefore diligently consult the meaning of the Text, by comparing it with other the Sayings of God; so shall we be better able to find out the Mind of the Lord in the Word which he hath given us to know it by.
