that_o christ_n who_o come_v out_o of_o the_o bosom_n of_o the_o father_n be_v our_o only_a advocate_n not_o saint_n nor_o angel_n for_o here_o be_v many_o thing_n to_o enable_v christ_n for_o that_o

christ_n the_o righteous_a 2._o the_o sweet_a agreement_n of_o the_o patron_n and_o judge_n the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n we_o have_v a_o advocate_n with_o the_o father_n christ_n jesus_n 3._o the_o necessary_a condition_n of_o he_o that_o must_v be_v a_o advocate_n intimate_v in_o the_o conjunction_n of_o these_o word_n with_o those_o that_o follow_v we_o have_v a_o advocate_n christ_n who_o be_v the_o propitiation_n for_o our_o sin_n as_o if_o all_o be_v say_v thus_o we_o be_v all_o sinner_n for_o he_o have_v say_v before_o that_o he_o that_o say_v he_o have_v no_o sin_n be_v a_o

any_o good_a for_o sinner_n and_o we_o have_v sin_v against_o the_o father_n therefore_o our_o advocate_n must_v be_v one_o that_o be_v near_o the_o father_n and_o because_o our_o sin_n cry_v loud_a for_o vengeance_n he_o must_v satisfy_v for_o our_o sin_n that_o will_v be_v hear_v for_o mercy_n there_o be_v no_o mediation_n for_o sinner_n but_o by_o he_o who_o be_v the_o propitiation_n for_o sin_n none_o can_v plead_v for_o we_o but_o he_o that_o bleed_v for_o we_o all_o these_o lead_v we_o by_o the_o hand_n to_o christ_n he_o be_v the_o righteous_a the_o lamb_n the_o true_a israelite_n without_o guile_n the_o sun_n of_o righteousness_n he_o be_v near_o the_o father_n he_o sit_v at_o the_o right_a hand_n of_o god_n he_o be_v the_o only_o beget_v and_o belove_a son_n of_o the_o father_n in_o who_o he_o be_v well_o please_v he_o make_v satisfaction_n for_o we_o and_o therefore_o he_o know_v best_o how_o to_o make_v intercession_n for_o we_o therefore_o he_o be_v our_o only_a advocate_n not_o saint_n 1._o they_o be_v not_o the_o righteous_a not_o 〈◊〉_d righteous_a but_o make_v righteous_a or_o if_o righteous_a not_o the_o righteous_a 2._o they_o be_v not_o the_o only_a

make_v of_o son_n not_o by_o nature_n by_o regeneration_n not_o by_o generation_n 3._o they_o be_v not_o our_o propitiation_n they_o do_v not_o undergo_v the_o wrath_n of_o god_n for_o our_o sin_n therefore_o they_o can_v undertake_v to_o procure_v the_o favour_n of_o god_n to_o our_o prayer_n in_o a_o word_n saint_n be_v not_o advocate_n they_o be_v not_o mediator_n and_o therefore_o not_o to_o be_v invocate_v as_o mediator_n the_o three_o place_n shall_v be_v revelation_n 19_o 10._o and_o i_o fall_v down_o at_o his_o foot_n to_o worship_v he_o but_o the_o angel_n say_v take_v heed_n thou_o do_v it_o not_o for_o i_o be_o thy_o fellow-servant_n and_o worship_n god_n i_o bring_v this_o place_n because_o as_o you_o know_v the_o invocation_n of_o angel_n be_v a_o part_n of_o this_o

his_o vanity_n to_o testify_v his_o reconciliation_n to_o the_o church_n so_o john_n report_v his_o error_n to_o show_v that_o he_o do_v repent_v of_o it_o again_o as_o thomas_n doubt_v of_o the_o

the_o angel_n which_o consist_v 1._o in_o a_o prohibition_n 2._o in_o a_o reason_n the_o prohibition_n be_v see_v thou_o do_v it_o not_o which_o be_v much_o more_o emphatical_a in_o the_o original_a 〈◊〉_d see_v not_o there_o be_v a_o ellipsis_n of_o the_o word_n 〈◊〉_d do_v or_o some_o such_o like_a out_o of_o which_o observe_v 1._o the_o zeal_n of_o the_o angel_n for_o that_o word_n that_o be_v

to_o spend_v so_o idle_o and_o therefore_o the_o angel_n say_v abrupt_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v i_o can_v speak_v till_o you_o stand_v up_o 2._o the_o detestation_n of_o the_o fact_n for_o you_o must_v imagine_v that_o what_o be_v defective_a in_o speech_n be_v supply_v by_o action_n and_o therefore_o think_v you_o see_v the_o angel_n either_o turn_v away_o from_o john_n as_o offend_v or_o raise_v up_o with_o his_o hand_n he_o think_v it_o not_o enough_o to_o express_v his_o dislike_n in_o word_n but_o he_o speak_v more_o effectual_a with_o his_o hand_n and_o he_o will_v have_v he_o read_v his_o dislike_n in_o his_o countenance_n this_o i_o observe_v out_o of_o the_o passionate_a prohibition_n 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 2._o now_o when_o he_o

by_o the_o way_n note_v the_o vanity_n of_o the_o popish_a distinction_n between_o 〈◊〉_d civil_a and_o religious_a the_o glorious_a triumphant_a angel_n be_v 〈◊〉_d fellow-servant_n to_o the_o

without_o respect_n of_o his_o own_o person_n and_o as_o david_n say_v of_o ahimaaz_n he_o be_v a_o worthy_a man_n and_o bring_v good_a tiding_n so_o this_o be_v a_o worthy_a angel_n and_o let_v we_o believe_v he_o and_o if_o any_o man_n or_o angel_n from_o god_n teach_v any_o other_o doctrine_n let_v he_o be_v accurse_v and_o though_o he_o refuse_v his_o worship_n yet_o he_o be_v no_o loose_a by_o the_o bargain_n for_o as_o it_o be_v say_v of_o caesar_n that_o while_o he_o restore_v the_o statute_n of_o pompey_n he_o establish_v his_o own_o so_o while_o he_o reserve_v to_o god_n the_o

be_v not_o to_o be_v adore_v therefore_o much_o less_o invocate_v angel_n be_v not_o to_o be_v adore_v therefore_o much_o less_o saint_n to_o make_v a_o compound_n of_o the_o double_a emphasis_n angel_n be_v not_o to_o be_v adore_v therefore_o much_o more_o saint_n be_v not_o to_o be_v invocate_v the_o four_o place_n be_v 1_o timoth._n 2._o 5._o for_o there_o be_v one_o god_n and_o one_o
