Darkness, and to be shut up in Prison is also a great Discouragement to us; But our Advocate is for giving us Light and for fetching us out of our Prison. True, he that Joseph chose to be his Advocate to Pharaoh remembered not Joseph but forgot him, Gen. 40.14, 23. but he that has Jesus Christ to be his Advocate shall be remembered before God. He remembered us in our low Estate, for his Mercy endureth forever, Mich. 7.8, 9, 10. Psal. 136.23. Yea, he will say to the Prisoners show your selves, and to them that are in the Prison-House go forth.
