the same spirit can breath no where so freely as in such holy aire The new Creature was borne under the Ordinances of the Gospell and is nursed and brought up under them Faith came first by hearing and Faith groweth and receiveth strength being nourished by the same Doctrine by which it was at first planted They who have heard and learned of the Father come unto Christ and know not whether to goe from him because he hath the words of eternall life The Apostle in 2 Cor. 3. 8. calleth the ministration of the Gospel the ministration of the spirit as being that by which the soul doth receive and grow up in this divine and heavenly life Therefore the Author of this Epistle writing to anointed ones tels them that as they had heard so it should be that Antichrist would come and that they should abide in the Truth whereby he doth commend them and their Teachers for their great care and diligence in searching out and receiving the Truth I need not spend time in shewing the lawfulness conveniency and necessity of Gospell Ordinances such as are Hearing the word prayer breaking of bread to shew forth the Lords death and the rest which are of the like institution Onely this I would speak by way of admonition as it is a serious and generall observation which holy men have made That no sooner do men cast off the use of the Ordinances and appointments of Jesus Christ but at the same time they doe cast off God and godliness and laying the Reins upon their own necks they set the foot upon the holy Law running desperately upon further mischeif Thus hath divine Iustice branded those who would not humbly submit to such sacred Institutions Such is the Majesty and Authority of these things that almost every man in the use of them doth finde an awe upon his conscience and feel himselfe commanded into a moderate and sober modesty a modest sobriety and moderation Having thus layd downe these foure particulars by way of prevention give me leave to explaine the sence of the Doctrine in these seven following propositions First The Lord Iesus as head of his Church was first anointed with the divine spirit Here began this holy Unction Jesus Christ was the first Receiver of the Spirit The eternall spirit powred forth an abundance of this ointment upon the person of our Lord Jesus He was anointed with the oyle of gladness above his Fellowes In the ancient anointings God had appointed certaine measures of this oyl to be spent upon the persons anointed Saul was anointed with a Cruise of oyle as not like to continue in the throne long David was anointed with a horne of oyle his Kingdome being to remaine longer but it pleased the Father that in Jesus Christ should all fulness dwell so that in Isai. 10. he is called The anointing and such is the savour of his good ointments that his Name is as ointment powred forth therefore doe the Virgins love him The Lord Jesus did Receive this fulness for our sakes that from it we might receive and grace for grace Hee was to be the head of his Church propter eminentiam influentiam not onely for superiority but also for influence and conveyance so that upon this account Hee was first considered in the business of anointing that he might be usefull for conveyance of this spirit to his people The ointment poured upon the head of the high Priest ran downe upon his beard and to the skirts of his clothing leaving a sweet fragrancie and savour behinde it so doth this spirit of our Lord Jesus flow from him down to all his saints and perfumes them with his owne sweetness And as the Prophet Elijah when hee went to heaven let his mantle and spirit fall upon Elisha so did our blessed Lord and Saviour after his ascention send forth his owne spirit to dwell with his Disciples as their solace and comfort in his necessary absence Secondly Iesus Christ as a second Adam doth begett Children after his owne Image The first Adam brought forth children in his owne likeness deriving to them the same naturall spirit which was in himselfe so doth the second Adam propagate his posterity and give unto them his owne spirit which is supernaturall and heavenly The Picture doth not so exactly resemble the face as the regenerate soule doth resemble her everlasting Father This Notion lyeth very obvious in the 5. of the Romans Where the Apostle discourseth of the two Adams and their two posterities with their severall advantages or prejudices that they received from their head As by one man sinne entered into the world and death by sinne and death passed upon all for asmuch as all have sinned which words referre to the whole posterity of the first Adam so by one man came life by one came forgiveness by one came such a universall reparation that as in Adam all dyed so in Christ all are made alive all the posterity of the second Adam are as much yea more advantaged by their Head Jesus Christ then all the posterity of the first Adam were damnified by his Apostacy and the influence that it had upon them The Lord Jesus findes the children of the first Adam in their naturall capacity and maketh them the subjects of his grace but Hee bringeth forth upon their minds and spirits a new creation which he did not finde in them no not in semine not in the seeds or root of it Hee cometh by his spirit to doe some thing in man which could not be done by the sublimation or improvement of those Rudera naturae those reliques and remainders of Shipwrackt nature for if so then what meaneth that bitter Cup what meant that pomp of bloody sufferings which Jesus Christ did undergoe What need was there that he should come endowed with so much spirit If Naturall principles which yet remaine in the broken posterity of the first Adam could have brought forth that which now is the great designe and undertaking of Christ in the world Hee seemeth to have come in the flesh and to have suffered such contradction of sinners and so shamefull accursed death upon the Cross upon too smal and too inferiour account Doth Jesus Christ after all this effect no more upon men then what the scattered peices of decayed nature being gathered together could effect upon them Surely Brethren Hee doth more then so for hee begetts children unto himselfe as a Father and uniteth members unto himselfe as an Head Hee transplanteth soules into an other soyle and they live in him deriving sap and spirit from him as from their better soyle their new Root The Apostle in Gal. 4. doth thus exprese it My little children with whom I travaile in birth {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} untill Christ be formed in you that is until the spirit of our Lord Jesus comes to be that to your soules which your soules are unto your bodies The reasonable soule in
