Now there lieth in these two truths, two things to be enquired into; as,
1, What the Apostle should here mean by sin.
2. And also what he here doth mean by an Advocate. If any man sin, we have an Advocate.
There is ground to enquire after the first of these, because, tho here he saith, they that sin have an Advocate; yet in the very next Chapter, he saith, such are of the Devil, have not seen God, neither know him, nor are of him.
