christ_n the_o righteous_a 2._o the_o sweet_a agreement_n of_o the_o patron_n and_o judge_n the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n we_o have_v a_o advocate_n with_o the_o father_n christ_n jesus_n 3._o the_o necessary_a condition_n of_o he_o that_o must_v be_v a_o advocate_n intimate_v in_o the_o conjunction_n of_o these_o word_n with_o those_o that_o follow_v we_o have_v a_o advocate_n christ_n

any_o good_a for_o sinner_n and_o we_o have_v sin_v against_o the_o father_n therefore_o our_o advocate_n must_v be_v one_o that_o be_v near_o the_o father_n and_o because_o our_o sin_n cry_v loud_a for_o vengeance_n he_o must_v satisfy_v for_o our_o sin_n that_o will_v be_v hear_v for_o mercy_n there_o be_v no_o mediation_n for_o sinner_n but_o by_o he_o who_o be_v the_o propitiation_n for_o

without_o guile_n the_o sun_n of_o righteousness_n he_o be_v near_o the_o father_n he_o sit_v at_o the_o right_a hand_n of_o god_n he_o be_v the_o only_o beget_v and_o belove_a son_n of_o the_o

therefore_o they_o can_v undertake_v to_o procure_v the_o favour_n of_o god_n to_o our_o prayer_n in_o a_o word_n saint_n be_v not_o advocate_n they_o be_v not_o mediator_n and_o therefore_o not_o

and_o he_o will_v have_v he_o read_v his_o dislike_n in_o his_o countenance_n this_o i_o observe_v out_o of_o the_o passionate_a prohibition_n 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 2._o now_o when_o he_o

by_o the_o way_n note_v the_o vanity_n of_o the_o popish_a distinction_n between_o 〈◊〉_d civil_a and_o religious_a the_o glorious_a triumphant_a angel_n be_v 〈◊〉_d fellow-servant_n to_o the_o
