thus_o if_o any_o man_n sin_n we_o have_v a_o advocate_n with_o the_o father_n jesus_n christ_n the_o righteous_a but_o five_o as_o christ_n as_o advocate_n plead_v for_o we_o against_o satan_n his_o father_n interest_n in_o we_o and_o his_o own_o and_o plead_v also_o what_o right_o he_o have_v to_o dispose_v of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n so_o he_o plead_v against_o this_o enemy_n that_o malice_n and_o enmity_n that_o be_v in_o he_o and_o upon_o which_o chief_o his_o charge_n against_o we_o be_v ground_v to_o the_o confusion_n of_o his_o face_n this_o be_v evident_a from_o the_o title_n that_o our_o advocate_n bestow_v upon_o he_o while_o he_o plead_v for_o we_o against_o he_o the_o lord_n rebuke_v thou_o o_o satan_n o_o enemy_n say_v he_o for_o satan_n be_v a_o enemy_n and_o this_o name_n give_v he_o signify_v so_o much_o and_o lawyer_n in_o their_o plea_n can_v make_v a_o great_a matter_n of_o such_o a_o circumstance_n as_o this_o say_v my_o lord_n we_o can_v prove_v that_o what_o be_v now_o plead_v against_o the_o prisoner_n at_o the_o bar_n be_v of_o mere_a malice_n and_o ha●red_n that_o have_v also_o of_o a_o long_a time_n lie_v burn_v and_o rage_v in_o his_o enemy_n breast_n against_o he_o this_o i_o say_v will_v great_o weaken_v the_o plea_n and_o accusation_n of_o a_o enemy_n but_o say_v jesus_n christ_n father_n here_o be_v a_o plea_n bring_v in_o against_o my_o joshua_n that_o clothes_v he_o with_o filthy_a garment_n but_o it_o be_v bring_v in_o against_o he_o by_o a_o enemy_n by_o a_o enemy_n in_o the_o superlative_a or_o high_a degree_n one_o that_o hate_v goodness_n worse_o than_o he_o and_o that_o love_v wickedness_n more_o than_o the_o man_n against_o who_o at_o this_o time_n he_o have_v bring_v such_o a_o heinous_a charge_n then_o leave_v with_o the_o father_n the_o value_n of_o his_o blood_n for_o the_o accuse_v he_o turn_v he_o to_o the_o accuser_n and_o plead_v against_o he_o as_o a_o enemy_n o_o satan_n thou_o that_o accuse_v my_o spouse_n my_o love_n my_o member_n art_n satan_n a_o enemy_n but_o it_o will_v be_v object_v that_o the_o thing_n charge_v be_v true_a grant_v it_o yet_o what_o law_n take_v notice_n of_o the_o plea_n of_o one_o who_o do_v profess_o act_v as_o a_o enemy_n because_o it_o be_v not_o do_v of_o love_n to_o truth_n and_o justice_n and_o righteousness_n nor_o intend_v for_o the_o honour_n of_o the_o king_n nor_o for_o the_o good_a of_o the_o prosecute_v but_o to_o gratify_v malice_n and_o rage_n and_o mere_o to_o kill_v and_o destroy_v there_o be_v therefore_o a_o great_a deal_n of_o force_n and_o strength_n in_o a_o advocate_n have_v plead_v of_o such_o a_o circumstance_n against_o a_o accuser_n special_o when_o the_o crime_n now_o charge_v be_v those_o and_o only_o those_o for_o which_o the_o law_n in_o the_o due_a execution_n of_o it_o have_v be_v satisfy_v before_o wherefore_o now_o a_o lawyer_n have_v double_a and_o treble_a ground_n of_o matter_n to_o plead_v for_o his_o client_n against_o his_o enemy_n and_o this_o advantage_n against_o he_o have_v jesus_n christ._n beside_o it_o be_v well_o know_v that_o satan_n as_o to_o we_o be_v the_o original_a cause_n of_o those_o very_a crime_n for_o which_o he_o accuse_v we_o at_o the_o bar_n of_o god_n tribunal_n not_o to_o say_v any_o thing_n of_o how_o he_o come_v to_o we_o solicit_v we_o tempt_v we_o flatter_v we_o and_o always_o in_o a_o manner_n lie_v at_o we_o to_o do_v those_o wicked_a thing_n for_o which_o he_o so_o hot_o pursue_v we_o to_o the_o bar_n of_o the_o judgement_n of_o god._n for_o though_o it_o be_v not_o meet_a for_o we_o thus_o to_o plead_v to_o wit_n lay_v that_o fault_n upon_o satan_n but_o rather_o upon_o ourselves_o yet_o our_o advocate_n will_v do_v it_o and_o make_v work_n of_o it_o too_o before_o god._n simon_n simon_n satan_n have_v desire_v to_o have_v thou_o that_o he_o may_v sift_v thou_o as_o wheat_n but_o i_o have_v pray_v for_o thou_o that_o thy_o faith_n fail_v not_o luk._n 22.31.32_o he_o make_v here_o mention_n of_o satan_n desire_n by_o way_n of_o advantage_n against_o he_o and_o doubtless_o so_o he_o do_v in_o his_o prayer_n with_o god_n for_o peter_n preservation_n and_o what_o he_o do_v here_o while_o on_o earth_n as_o a_o saviour_n in_o general_n that_o he_o do_v now_o in_o heaven_n as_o a_o priest_n and_o a_o advocate_n in_o special_a i_o will_v further_o suppose_v that_o which_o may_v be_v suppose_v and_o that_o which_o be_v suitable_a to_o our_o purpose_n suppose_v therefore_o that_o a_o father_n that_o have_v a_o child_n who_o he_o love_v but_o the_o child_n have_v not_o half_a that_o wit_n that_o some_o of_o the_o family_n have_v and_o i_o be_o sure_a that_o we_o have_v less_o wit_n than_o angel_n and_o suppose_v also_o that_o some_o bad_a mind_a neighbour_n by_o tamper_n with_o tempt_v of_o and_o by_o unwearied_a solicitation_n shall_v prevail_v with_o this_o child_n to_o steal_v something_o out_o of_o his_o father_n house_n or_o ground_n and_o give_v it_o unto_o he_o and_o this_o he_o do_v on_o purpose_n to_o set_v the_o father_n against_o the_o child_n and_o suppose_v again_o that_o it_o come_v to_o the_o father_n knowledge_n that_o the_o child_n through_o the_o allurement_n of_o such_o a_o one_o have_v do_v so_o and_o so_o against_o his_o father_n will_v he_o therefore_o disinherit_v this_o child_n yea_o suppose_v again_o that_o he_o that_o do_v tempt_v this_o child_n to_o steal_v shall_v be_v the_o first_o that_o shall_v come_v to_o accuse_v this_o child_n to_o its_o father_n for_o so_o do_v will_v the_o father_n take_v notice_n of_o the_o accusation_n of_o such_o a_o one_o no_o very_o we_o that_o be_v evil_a can_v do_v better_a than_o so_o how_o then_o shall_v we_o think_v that_o the_o god_n of_o heaven_n shall_v do_v such_o a_o thing_n since_o also_o we_o have_v a_o brother_n that_o be_v wise_a and_o that_o will_v and_o can_v plead_v the_o very_a malice_n of_o our_o enemy_n that_o do_v to_o we_o all_o these_o thing_n against_o he_o for_o our_o advantage_n i_o say_v this_o be_v the_o sum_n of_o this_o five_o plea_n of_o christ_n our_o advocate_n against_o satan_n o_o satan_n say_v he_o thou_o be_v a_o enemy_n to_o my_o people_n thou_o plead_v not_o out_o of_o love_n to_o righteousness_n nor_o to_o reform_v but_o to_o destroy_v my_o belove_a and_o inheritance_n the_o charge_n wherewith_o thou_o charge_v my_o people_n be_v thy_o own_o joh._n 8.44_o not_o only_o as_o to_o a_o matter_n of_o charge_n but_o the_o thing_n that_o thou_o accuse_v they_o of_o be_v thou_o thou_o in_o the_o nature_n of_o they_o also_o thou_o have_v tempt_v allure_v flatter_v and_o daily_o labour_v with_o they_o to_o do_v that_o for_o which_o now_o thou_o so_o willing_o will_v have_v they_o destroy_v yea_o all_o this_o have_v thou_o do_v of_o envy_n to_o my_o father_n and_o to_o godliness_n of_o hatred_n to_o i_o and_o my_o people_n and_o that_o thou_o may_v destroy_v other_o beside_o 1_o chron._n 21.1_o and_o now_o what_o can_v this_o accuser_n say_v can_v he_o excuse_v himself_o can_v he_o contradict_v our_o advocate_n he_o can_v he_o know_v that_o he_o be_v a_o satan_n a_o enemy_n and_o as_o a_o adversary_n have_v he_o sow_v his_o tare_n among_o the_o wheat_n that_o it_o may_v be_v root_v up_o but_o he_o shall_v not_o have_v his_o end_n his_o malice_n have_v prevent_v he_o and_o so_o have_v the_o care_n and_o grace_n of_o our_o advocate_n the_o tare_n therefore_o he_o shall_v have_v return_v to_o he_o again_o but_o the_o wheat_n for_o all_o this_o shall_v be_v gather_v into_o god_n barn_n mat._n 13.25_o 26_o 27_o 28._o thus_o therefore_o our_o advocate_n make_v use_v in_o his_o plea_n against_o satan_n of_o the_o rage_n and_o malice_n that_o be_v the_o occasion_n of_o the_o enemy_n charge_n wherewith_o he_o accuse_v the_o child_n of_o god._n wherefore_o when_o thou_o read_v these_o word_n o_fw-la satan_n say_v with_o thyself_o thus_o christ_n our_o advocate_n accuse_v our_o adversary_n of_o malice_n and_o envy_n against_o god_n and_o goodness_n while_o he_o accuse_v we_o of_o the_o sin_n which_o we_o commit_v for_o the_o which_o we_o be_v sorry_a and_o christ_n have_v pay_v a_o price_n of_o redemption_n and_o thus_o if_o any_o man_n sin_n we_o have_v a_o advocate_n with_o the_o father_n jesus_n christ_n the_o righteous_a but_o sixthly_a christ_n when_o he_o plead_v as_o a_o advocate_n for_o his_o people_n in_o the_o presence_n of_o god_n against_o satan_n he_o can_v plead_v those_o very_a weakness_n of_o his_o people_n for_o which_o satan_n will_v have_v they_o damn_v for_o their_o relief_n and_o advantage_n be_v not_o this_o a_o brand_n pluck_v ●ut_v of_o the_o fire_n this_o
