The advocateship of Jesus Christ clearly explained, and largely improved, for the benefit of…

Christ also is made the Mediator of that Covenant, and therefore an Advocate by that: For his Priestly Office, and Advocateship are included by his Mediation. Wherefore, when Satan pleads by the Old, Christ pleads by the new Covenant, for the Sake of which, the Old one is removed. In that he saith, A new Covenant, he hath made the first Old; now, that which decayeth and waxeth old, is ready to vanish away, Heb 8.13. So then, the Ground of Plea is with Jesus Christ, and not with our Accuser. Now what doth Christ plead, and what is the Ground of his Plea? Why, he pleads for Exemption and Freedom from Condemnation, tho by the Law of Works, his Children have deserved it: And the Ground for this his Plea, as to Law, is, the Matter of the Covenant it self. For thus it runs, For I will be merciful to their Unrighteousness, and their Sins and Iniquities will I remember no more, ver. 12. Now here is a Foundation, a Foundation in Law, for our Advocate to build his Plea upon; a Foundation in a Law not to be moved, or removed, or made to give Place, as that is forced to do, upon which Satan grounds his Plea against us.
