35. On an Advocate.

O happy Mary for whom Jesus pleads,
Judas condemns, but he commends thy deeds
Judas accuse, and slander while thou wilt,
Jesus acquits, and clears us of our guilt.
Earth judges evil, what Heav'n pronounceth good
The moving Rhet'rick of our Advocates blood,
Pleads strongly for us, and we need not fear,
Though all the Devil's in Hell against us were.
Our Sav'ours bloud which on the Cross was spilt,
Quenches Gods wrath, and satisfies for guilt.
Such as for help unto the Mother run,
Shall have but little succor from the Son.
