this_o discharge_n from_o sin_n go_v all_o along_o under_o the_o notion_n of_o grace_n and_o free_a grace_n and_o pardon_v how_o can_v this_o be_v if_o it_o be_v mere_o a_o act_n of_o justice_n for_o god_n to_o forgive_v sin_n this_o may_v easy_o be_v reconcile_v with_o a_o distinction_n discharge_v from_o sin_n in_o respect_n of_o we_o or_o what_o we_o can_v bring_v by_o way_n of_o recompense_n for_o the_o sin_n commit_v be_v mere_o free_a grace_n we_o can_v bring_v nothing_o at_o all_o also_o in_o respect_n of_o christ_n as_o he_o be_v allow_v to_o stand_v in_o the_o room_n of_o we_o it_o be_v grace_n too_o but_o three_o christ_n be_v allow_v and_o admit_v and_o the_o lord_n have_v take_v the_o full_a payment_n he_o can_v ask_v at_o the_o hand_n of_o christ_n and_o acknowledge_v satisfaction_n upon_o such_o payment_n this_o act_n of_o christ_n make_v it_o a_o act_n of_o justice_n and_o right_n that_o god_n shall_v forgive_v sin_n and_o therefore_o the_o apostle_n in_o the_o first_o chapter_n of_o this_o epistle_n of_o john_n tell_v we_o that_o the_o blood_n of_o jesus_n christ_n the_o son_n of_o god_n cleanse_v we_o from_o all_o our_o sin_n and_o therefore_o he_o conclude_v that_o he_o be_v faithful_a and_o just_a to_o forgive_v we_o our_o sin_n but_o i_o can_v insist_v upon_o what_o i_o have_v former_o deliver_v now_o peradventure_o some_o though_o i_o confess_v a_o little_a overcurious_a desire_v to_o understand_v how_o christ_n be_v now_o in_o heaven_n do_v execute_v this_o office_n of_o advocateship_n or_o in_o what_o sense_n he_o be_v say_v to_o plead_v the_o cause_n of_o his_o people_n i_o call_v it_o a_o curious_a query_n because_o the_o scripture_n be_v very_o spare_v in_o declare_v the_o manner_n of_o christ_n manage_v this_o office_n that_o he_o be_v a_o advocate_n be_v clear_a enough_o how_o he_o do_v deal_v with_o god_n in_o the_o execution_n of_o it_o be_v more_o obscure_a frequent_a mention_n be_v make_v indeed_o of_o christ_n intercession_n in_o heaven_n be_v ever_o live_v to_o make_v intercession_n for_o we_o as_o the_o apostle_n testify_v he_o do_v intercede_v for_o the_o saint_n say_v the_o holy_a ghost_n yet_o though_o this_o be_v so_o frequent_o mention_v and_o the_o comfort_n of_o god_n people_n much_o lay_v upon_o this_o n●●ely_o this_o intercession_n yet_o the_o scripture_n be_v very_o spare_v what_o kind_n of_o intercession_n he_o make_v whether_o he_o pray_v to_o his_o father_n in_o heaven_n as_o he_o do_v upon_o earth_n or_o no_o the_o like_a i_o say_v o●_n this_o business_n of_o advocateship_n some_o few_o passage_n of_o scripture_n there_o be_v that_o will_v give_v some_o ●int_n at_o least_o to_o have_v some_o glimmering_n of_o the_o very_a manner_n of_o christ_n advocateship_n and_o the_o execution_n of_o it_o in_o heb._n 11.4_o there_o be_v something_o that_o will_v give_v we_o some_o light_n b●_n faith_n say_v the_o apostle_n abel_n offer_v a_o more_o excellent_a sacrifice_n than_o cain_n whereby_o he_o receive_v or_o obtain_v witness_n of_o god_n that_o he_o be_v righteous_a by_o which_o he_o be_v dead_a et_fw-fr speak_v that_o be_v by_o which_o sacrifice_n he_o be_v dead_a yet_o speak_v the_o sacrifice_n you_o know_v they_o be_v christ_n in_o the_o antitype_n for_o all_o the_o life_n of_o sacrifice_n from_o which_o person_n obtain_v testimony_n of_o god_n that_o they_o be_v righteous_a be_v christ_n himself_o and_o it_o be_v christ_n in_o sacrifice_n that_o speak_v even_o when_o the_o sacrifice_n itself_o be_v offer_v i_o conceive_v therefore_o belove_v as_o sacrifice_n speak_v in_o respect_n of_o a_o prevail_a power_n they_o have_v with_o god_n when_o he_o sit_v in_o judgement_n we_o be_v to_o conceive_v likewise_o of_o the_o advocateship_n of_o christ_n which_o i●_n nothing_o else_o but_o the_o speak_n of_o christ_n be_v in_o such_o a_o kind_n manage_v after_o such_o a_o manner_n christ_n speak_v as_o sacrifice_n speak_v for_o indeed_o christ_n as_o

of_o the_o new_a covenant_n and_o to_o the_o blood_n of_o sprinkle_v that_o speak_v better_a thing_n than_o the_o blood_n of_o abel_n here_o you_o see_v whereas_o the_o apostl_n in_o the_o former_a chapter_n import_v a_o voice_n or_o a_o plea_n in_o the_o mouth_n of_o sacrifice_n in_o this_o chapter_n and_o verse_n he_o speak_v more_o plain_o and_o put_v a_o voice_n or_o plea_n to_o that_o which_o be_v the_o life_n of_o sacrifice_n namely_o the_o blood_n of_o sprinkle_v the_o blood_n of_o jesus_n christ_n we_o be_v come_v unto_o the_o blood_n of_o sprink_v and_o this_o blood_n be_v that_o which_o speak_v better_a thing_n than_o the_o blood_n of_o abel_n you_o know_v that_o there_o be_v a_o strong_a plea_n in_o the_o blood_n of_o abel_n which_o cry_v from_o earth_n to_o heaven_n till_o it_o bring_v vengeance_n upon_o the_o head_n of_o cain_n the_o blood_n of_o christ_n have_v a_o strong_a plea_n and_o have_v a_o strong_a cry_n and_o be_v for_o better_a purpose_n so_o that_o under_o favour_n for_o in_o this_o i_o shall_v not_o contend_v much_o so_o far_o as_o i_o can_v see_v the_o value_n and_o work_v and_o desert_n and_o preciousness_n of_o the_o bloodshed_n of_o christ_n that_o be_v the_o plea_n that_o christ_n make_v as_o advocate_n in_o heaven_n that_o when_o a_o believer_n do_v commit_v sin_n the_o efficacy_n of_o this_o bloodshed_n be_v fresh_a in_o the_o pretence_n of_o the_o lord_n in_o the_o behalf_n of_o that_o poor_a wretch_n that_o have_v thus_o sin_v i_o say_v the_o blood_n be_v present_a and_o the_o whole_a efficacy_n power_n and_o virtue_n of_o that_o blood_n be_v fresh_a in_o the_o thought_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o as_o it_o be_v thus_o effectual_a and_o powerful_a it_o procure_v the_o discharge_n and_o bring_v the_o discharge_n and_o

and_o present_a with_o he_o yea_o present_a before_o he_o when_o the_o sin_n that_o a_o believer_n commit_v be_v present_a and_o the_o counterplea_n of_o the_o value_n of_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n overcome_v the_o natural_a plea_n of_o the_o sin_n itself_o but_o i_o will_v not_o dwell_v upon_o this_o but_o rather_o hasten_v to_o a_o second_o thing_n very_o considerable_a which_o be_v who_o cause_n it_o be_v that_o christ_n do_v plead_v with_o the_o father_n or_o for_o who_o the_o value_n and_o virtue_n of_o his_o blood_n do_v plead_v i_o remember_v the_o disciple_n when_o christ_n

when_o he_o fall_v foul_o when_o he_o fall_v it_o may_v be_v through_o the_o weakness_n of_o his_o faith_n make_v he_o suspect_v that_o christ_n will_v be_v silent_a in_o his_o cause_n in_o regard_n of_o such_o fail_n and_o sinfulness_n i_o say_v he_o be_v then_o as_o proper_o the_o advocate_n of_o such_o a_o person_n a_o believer_n who_o peradventure_o fall_v into_o some_o scandalous_a evil_n at_o that_o very_a time_n when_o this_o person_n that_o be_v a_o believer_n fall_v thus_o mark_v but_o the_o apostle_n if_o any_o man_n sin_n we_o have_v a_o advocate_n with_o the_o father_n he_o
