John Trapp on John 17:13

Verſe 13. And theſe things I speak in the world.] Not for his own or his Fathers ſake, but for the comfort of his Diſciples; to cure them of their anxiety and anguiſh, when they heard him praying and providing ſuch things for them. For this alſo it was, that he prayed thus in their preſence (when at other times he went apart) for their conſolation doubtleſſe and inſtruction. Mr Bradford Martyr, when he ſhifted himſelf in a clean ſhirt, Act. and Mon. ſol. 1548. made for his burning, he made ſuch a prayer of the wedding-garment, that ſome of thoſe that were preſent, were in ſuch great admiration, that their eies were as truly occupied in looking on him, as their cars gave place to hear his prayer.
