to compleat all the rest, Herod confin'd John in prison.

the bridegroom is he that hath a right to the bride: as for the friend of the bridegroom, who is nigh his person and heareth him, he greatly rejoyces at the voice of the bridegroom: upon this account my joy is compleat.

These things have I spoken to you, that you might have some present comfort, and that hereafter your joy might be compleat.

hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be compleat.

now that I am coming to thee, while I am here, I make these requests for them, that their joy in me may be compleat.

compleat my joy, by pursuing the same view, living in mutual love, by being unanimous, and cultivating that harmony.

I had many things to write to you, but I don't think it proper to commit them to paper and ink, because I hope to make you a visit, and deliver them by word of mouth; that so our joy may be compleat.
