The application of redemption

The sin of Adam falling from his Creation in which the […] of the Fathers working is especially discovered, in that he is the original in the Deity, first in Order, and Working from himself, and Creation is the Original of things, there they have their beginnings: Hence in Scripture it is said to be […] directly against him, and indirectly against the Son and the Holy Ghost; because that work wherein though they all wrought, yet the manner of the Fathers dispensation did principally appear. 1 Joh. 2. 1. Little Children sin not at all, but if any man do sin, we have an Advocate with the Father. He says not, We have an Advocate with an Advocate: Christ is not properly, and firstly, and directly an Advocate to himself, but an Advocate is to plead with the party offended, in behalf of him who stands guilty and hath offended, and therefore he is said to be an Advocate with the Father, because he was the offended party properly and directly. Christ an Advocate to plead the Cause of his people, the Spirit the Witness to Certify of the Success what the Advocate hath done for them, and what acceptance he hath found with the Father in their behalf.
