mention_v but_o enlarge_v upon_o in_o these_o word_n but_o the_o anoint_v etc._n etc._n the_o right_a understanding_n of_o this_o whole_a verse_n depend_v upon_o the_o genuine_a notion_n of_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d the_o anoint_v once_o and_o again_o here_o speak_v of_o in_o order_n to_o which_o it_o will_v be_v needful_a to_o inquire_v to_o what_o this_o anoint_v allude_v what_o it_o do_v import_v and_o wherein_o the_o analogy_n hold_v the_o jesuit_n in_o their_o comment_n will_v have_v we_o believe_v that_o st._n john_n allude_v to_o the_o anoint_v which_o be_v use_v in_o their_o

the_o use_n of_o anoint_v in_o baptism_n be_v very_o ancient_a as_o find_v it_o mention_v not_o only_o by_o st._n augustine_n but_o st._n cyprian_a 24_o and_o tertullian_n yet_o sure_o i_o be_o it_o

that_o st._n john_n allude_v to_o it_o indeed_o we_o find_v in_o st._n james_n a_o anoint_v of_o the_o sick_a with_o oil_n to_o be_v then_o practise_v though_o by_o the_o way_n that_o of_o a_o far_o

call_v the_o spirit_n and_o the_o ministration_n 8_o of_o the_o spirit_n with_o this_o interpretation_n some_o of_o our_o late_a orthodox_n writer_n accord_n though_o upon_o a_o far_o different_a

this_o exposition_n the_o orthodox_n just_o deny_v any_o new_a revelation_n or_o extraordinary_a inspiration_n now_o to_o be_v expect_v answer_v the_o argument_n which_o euthusia_v bring_v from_o this_o scripture_n by_o this_o interpretation_n for_o my_o own_o part_n i_o be_o very_o unwilling_a without_o great_a cause_n to_o recede_v lo●_n from_o the_o general_o receive_v exposition_n of_o any_o scripture_n and_o as_o to_o this_o particular_a text_n 1_o i_o find_v the_o anoint_v by_o the_o far_o great_a part_n both_o of_o ancient_n and_o modern_a protestant_n and_o popish_a commentator_n to_o be_v expound_v the_o holy_a spirit_n suitable_a to_o which_o it_o be_v that_o the_o latter_a anoint_v be_v read_v spirit_n in_o the_o aethiopic_a version_n his_o spirit_n teach_v you_o of_o all_o aethiop_n thing_n 2_o there_o be_v several_a consideration_n which_o render_v the_o common_a exposition_n most_o rational_a in_o as_o much_o as_o 1_o usual_o where_o the_o scripture_n speak_v of_o anoint_v l●●_n it_o be_v mean_v of_o the_o spirit_n as_o appear_v in_o the_o former_a discourse_n upon_o the_o twenty_o verse_n 2_o it_o be_v not_o here_o say_v the_o anoint_v which_o we_o to_o wit_n apostle_n have_v receive_v of_o he_o for_o than_o it_o may_v most_o probable_o have_v refer_v to_o the_o visible_a descension_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n upon_o they_o nor_o yet_o be_v it_o say_v the_o anoint_v which_o you_o have_v receive_v of_o we_o for_o than_o it_o may_v just_o have_v be_v construe_v as_o the_o same_o with_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d that_o which_o you_o have_v hear_v this_o evangelical_n doctrine_n which_o be_v deliver_v by_o the_o inspire_a apostle_n but_o in_o as_o much_o as_o it_o be_v the_o anoint_v which_o you_o have_v receive_v of_o he_o it_o be_v most_o rational_o construe_v of_o that_o spiritual_a illumination_n which_o every_o christian_a receive_v in_o some_o measure_n from_o christ._n 3_o add_v to_o this_o that_o our_o apostle_n in_o this_o verse_n manifest_o intend_v to_o mind_v the_o christian_n what_o a_o singular_a help_n christ_n have_v provide_v for_o they_o against_o seducer_n whereby_o they_o may_v be_v enable_v to_o continue_v in_o that_o which_o they_o have_v hear_v and_o therefore_o it_o can_v rational_o be_v look_v upon_o as_o one_o and_o the_o same_o with_o that_o which_o they_o have_v hear_v but_o rather_o the_o enlighten_v grace_n of_o his_o spirit_n be_v to_o be_v understand_v than_o which_o there_o can_v be_v a_o strong_a antidote_n against_o error_n final_o as_o by_o this_o exposition_n this_o scripture_n become_v a_o sharp_a sword_n against_o the_o socinian_o so_o as_o shall_v appear_v in_o the_o handle_n it_o will_v not_o hereby_o become_v a_o buckler_n for_o the_o anabaptist_n and_o therefore_o i_o shall_v acquiesce_v and_o adhere_v to_o it_o as_o most_o genuine_a 3_o as_o to_o the_o last_o enquiry_n how_o fit_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n be_v compare_v to_o and_o resemble_v by_o oil_n and_o anoint_v the_o answer_n have_v be_v already_o return_v in_o the_o discourse_n upon_o the_o former_a clause_n of_o the_o twenty_o verse_n whither_o i_o refer_v the_o reader_n nor_o shall_v i_o add_v any_o thing_n further_o but_o only_o that_o as_o the_o holy_a ointment_n be_v make_v of_o several_a spice_n mix_v with_o the_o oil_n &_o whatsoever_o thing_n or_o person_n be_v anoint_v therewith_o be_v legal_o sanctify_v by_o it_o so_o we_o be_v here_o to_o understand_v by_o this_o anoint_v not_o the_o illumination_n of_o the_o spirit_n which_o be_v ofttimes_o find_v alone_o and_o be_v vouchsafe_v to_o the_o unregenerate_a but_o that_o which_o be_v as_o it_o be_v make_v up_o of_o the_o several_a grace_n of_o the_o spirit_n whereby_o not_o only_o the_o mind_n be_v enlighten_v but_o the_o whole_a man_n be_v sanctify_v have_v give_v you_o this_o account_n of_o the_o anoint_v which_o be_v as_o it_o be_v the_o hinge_n upon_o which_o the_o whole_a verse_n turn_v it_o now_o remain_v that_o i_o go_v on_o to_o consider_v what_o be_v here_o affirm_v concern_v this_o unction_n and_o because_o i_o have_v already_o trace_v the_o metaphor_n of_o oil_n and_o our_o apostle_n be_v please_v to_o insist_v upon_o another_o similitude_n of_o teach_v i_o shall_v follow_v that_o and_o according_o you_o may_v conceive_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n who_o be_v the_o anoint_v to_o be_v
