Now put these two together; namely that Jesus Christ is righteous, and will not swerve in Judgment: Also that he pleads for us by the new Law, with which Satan hath nothing to do, nor (had he) can he by it, bring in a Plea against us, Jer. 31.29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34. Ezek. 36.25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30. Heb. 8.8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13. because that Law ⟨p. 120⟩in the very body of it, consists in free Promises of giving Grace unto us, and of an everlasting Forgiveness of our Sin. O Children your Advocate will stick to the Law▪ to the new Law, to the new and everlasting Covenant, and will not admit that any thing should be pleaded by our Foe, that is inconsistent with the Promise of the Gift of Grace, and of the Remission of all Sin. This therefore is another Privilege that they are made Partakers of who have Jesus Christ to be their Advocate. He is just, he is righteous, he is Jesus Christ the righteous. He will not be turned aside to judge awry, either of the Crime, the Law, or for Favour or Affection. Nor is there any sin, but what is pardonable, committed by those that have chosen Jesus Christ to be their Advocate.
