Robert Traill (The Lord's Prayer, John 17:24), Works 2:276:
Behold and understand Christ’s last design on his people. It is to have them to behold his glory. Christ will never leave any whom the Father hath given him, till he hath brought them to this. Let believers learn to give Christ his will and his way; give him trust, and give him time, and wait patiently. Art thou given to him? art thou a believer on him? Behold with faith what his design upon thee is. It is to bring thee into that place where he is, that thou mayest behold his glory. Many strange and deep ways and methods doth he use to carry it on. Submit to these, and believe the end of the Lord.
