his_o petition_n be_v the_o hour_n be_v at_o hand_n that_o be_v to_o say_v the_o hour_n of_o my_o death_n be_v at_o hand_n therefore_o it_o be_v time_n that_o i_o shall_v be_v glorify_v let_v i_o not_o lie_v for_o ever_o will_v he_o he_o say_v in_o that_o terrible_a and_o ignominious_a and_o offensive_a death_n but_o after_o the_o death_n after_o that_o shame_n and_o ignominy_n that_o i_o shall_v suffer_v immediate_o glorify_v i_o then_o the_o next_o argument_n be_v glorify_v thy_o son_n father_n that_o thy_o son_n may_v glorify_v thou_o i_o shall_v glorify_v thou_o again_o will_v he_o say_v and_o in_o my_o exaltation_n and_o glorify_v i_o thou_o shall_v be_v glorify_v and_o so_o the_o whole_a glory_n shall_v redound_v to_o thou_o therefore_o father_n glorify_v i_o in_o this_o text_n which_o we_o have_v now_o read_v follow_v the_o third_o reason_n of_o his_o petition_n why_o he_o desire_v that_o the_o father_n shall_v glorify_v he_o the_o third_o reason_n be_v that_o i_o may_v give_v life_n everlasting_a to_o they_o that_o thou_o have_v give_v to_o i_o as_o he_o will_v say_v father_n glorify_v i_o and_o i_o shall_v give_v life_n everlasting_a to_o thy_o choose_a it_o shall_v not_o be_v for_o nothing_o but_o as_o my_o glory_n shall_v redound_v to_o thy_o glory_n so_o it_o shall_v redound_v to_o the_o salvation_n of_o thy_o choose_a to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n ere_o he_o come_v to_o the_o argument_n he_o lay_v down_o the_o ground_n of_o it_o which_o be_v the_o authority_n that_o the_o father_n have_v give_v to_o he_o thou_o have_v give_v i_o authority_n over_o all_o flâ—sh_n say_v the_o lord_n this_o ground_n of_o the_o gift_n of_o life_n everlasting_a be_v a_o power_n and_o authority_n which_o the_o father_n have_v give_v to_o the_o son_n whosoever_o give_v life_n he_o must_v have_v a_o great_a authority_n and_o a_o great_a than_o all_o this_o earth_n have_v all_o the_o king_n in_o the_o world_n have_v not_o authority_n to_o give_v life_n to_o a_o gnat_n indeed_o the_o authority_n of_o a_o king_n may_v take_v away_o the_o life_n but_o they_o have_v no_o power_n no_o if_o it_o be_v but_o to_o give_v this_o life_n natural_a let_v be_v life_n everlasting_a and_o so_o that_o power_n must_v be_v great_a to_o give_v life_n everlasting_a so_o this_o princely_a and_o kingly_a authority_n the_o lord_n jesus_n have_v receive_v of_o his_o father_n you_o know_v his_o office_n his_o kingly_a office_n his_o priestly_a and_o prophetical_a office_n life_n everlasting_a and_o the_o gift_n of_o it_o be_v ground_v on_o that_o kingly_a authority_n which_o the_o lord_n have_v get_v from_o his_o father_n but_o how_o far_o extend_v it_o thou_o have_v give_v i_o authority_n over_o all_o flesh_n never_o man_n nor_o woman_n be_v
