me in heaven and in earth.
Matt. 28:I8.

not known me, Philip? he that hath
seen me hath seen the Father; and
how sayeth thou then, Shew us the
Father? John I4:8-o.
And now, o Father, glorify thou
me with thine own self with the glory
which I had with thee before the

him, Thou hast both seen him, and it
