Judas's heart, yet he ated not according to his Omniſcience, butas the firſt and prime Miniſter of the Goſpel, ſetting us an example, not to judge of ſecret things, but of things open only. 2. Ir alſo appear- eth from hence, that it is not probable, that this was any other Sup- per than the Paſſover Supper ; for if it were not, the Paſſover Supper muſt be after this, and this ſame Supper preceding it. Our famous Dr. Lightfoot thinks it was a Supper in Becrhany, at two miles diſtance (or near ſo much) from Feruſalem. But then it muſt follow, 1. Thit John ſpeaks nothing of the Paſchal Supper, or the Lords Supper; and 2. it doth by no means appear propable to me, that 7udas after ſuch a diſcovery of him,ſhould come again to cat the Paſſover with Chriſt and his Diſciples. Theſe things, together with whar I noted before, that here is no mention made of more gueſts than the twelve; that the poſture uſed (eſpecially as to leaning) was peculiar to the Paſcial Supper ; That the diſcourſe mentioned by this Evangeliſt, as had at this Supper about the diſcovery of the Traytor, is the ſame 1n {ub- ſtance, (tho' nor in terms) with what Marrhew and Luke report, 3 paſſed at the Paſſover. All theſe things confirm me, that it is the Pa! chalSupper that John ſpeaketh of; wherher 7d was at the Lords Sp per, which we know followed the Paſſover immediately, depends up" on the ſenſe of the Particle *v9ia5, which we tranſl.ite i*nmeats't!) 5 but doth not ſignifi2 neceſſarily ſuch a preſent departure ; but che att on of the Lords Supper might be firſt over, tho' in reaſon it ſeemeth to me more propable, becauſe of thoſe words, having receivea 52), he immediately went out, that it ſhould be here interpreted ſtriflly, and that ſhame and horror ſhould nor ſuffer him ro ſtay ſo long, a5*ill the ation of the Supper was over : tho' whether he were atthe Lords Sup- per ( as I ſaid before) ſignifieth nothing ar all ro the queſtions about mixt Communion, either as to the part of the Miniſter adminiſtring, 0! the peoples Communicating. - | 31 Therefore whenhe was gone out, Jeſus ſai Now: is the Son of man glorified w, and God is glorined 1 him x.

From hence our Lord concludeth, that God ſhould glorifie Chrift in himſelf, ſo as rhe glory of the Father and the Son are the fame, they are mutually glorified each in other : If the Son be glorified, the Fa- ther is alſo glorified ; and if the Father be glorified, the Son is alſo glorified ; the Father and the Son are mutually glorified each in other. 2 And the Father (ſaith our Saviour) in a ſhort time will fur- ther glorifie him, by taking him up into Heaven, and making the whole perſon of the Mediator glorious in Heaven. ; 33 Little children, yet a little while I am with you a, ye ſhall ſeek me: and, as I ſaid to the Jews *, whither

s Qur baviours time of Death being very nigh, ( for it was the next day) he beginneth to ſpeak of it to his Diſciples more freely, and plainly, and to let them know, that he, tho' now dying, bare a Fatherly tender affeQtion to them, he calls them 1:rrle Children ; Pa- rents have a natural affetion to their Children, a more tender affe- Aion to their Children when little, becauſe in their tender age they are more ignorant, and unable to provide for themſelves. We find chis compellation uſed by Chriſts Apoſtles, Gal. 4. 19. and 1 Fobn 2. 1, 28. and he tells them, that he had but now a little time to be with them before his Death, and not long after his ReſurreRion ; in which too, his converſe was not ſuch with them, as it hitherto had been. 4 He told this to the Jews in Chap. 7. 34. and now he tells them the ſame, that they wonld miſs him when he was gone, and ſhould ſeek him; but even the Diſciples at preſent could not follow him to Hea- ven whither he was going: The unbelieving Jews ſhould never fol- low himthither; bnt even thoſe who were his Diſciples, who were born again, and whom he loved as little Children are beloved by their Parents, ſhould not yet follow him; his work in the World was done, but they had yet a. great deal of work in it to do.
