Consolation unspeakable and glorious, even to the meanest of the Saints; when they are beset with greatest ⟨p. 20⟩enemies, and that in greatest necessities, and most unable to succour themselves: know there is support that will never fail thee. Thy sins plead against thee; 1 Joh. 2.1, 2. Here is an Advocate, who pleads for thee, and will undoubtedly carry the cause. Thy conscience that accuseth, Satan he condemns; But they all come too late: There is one between them and home, who intercedes and makes perfect satisfaction, and also full communication thereof: therefore Paul flings the gantlet. May be thy Heart and prayers and life and all seem to fail thee: Here is one, who lives always and prays always, and is heard always; and therefore able to save to the uttermost, them that come.
