must needes goe with this Name Which Oyle of gladnesse is not for Himselfe but for vs not for His vse but for ours So he saith himselfe in his first Sermon at Nazareth vpon his Text out of Esa 61.2 The annoynting this Oyle of gladnesse was vpon him to bestowe it vpon vs and of vs vpon them especially that through a wounded conscience were troubled with the spirit of heauinesse to turne their heauinesse into ioy Glad then that Hee is come that by his office is to saue and come with the good liking of all to saue vs by Oyle and that the Oyle of gladnesse And yet to make our ioy more full the Angel addeth the third A Sauiour Christ the Lord. which is Christ Christ the Lord. For neither is this all He is not Christ onely Wee must not stay there For the Name Christ will agree hath beene and may be imparted to others besides Many a King in Scripture hath had the honour to cary the Name of Christ but with a difference The King Christus Domini the Lords Christ He Christus Dominus the Lord Christ or Christ the Lord. Consider then how great this Childe is Heb. 7.4 whose Anoynted Kings themselues are For if they be Christi Domini the Lords Anointed His they are for He is the Lord. The Lord absolute without any addition ye may put to it what yee will Lord of men and Angels Lord of heauen and earth and all the Hosts of them Dominus Christorum and Dominus Dominorum Lord paramount ouer all But why the Lord Because this name of Christ will sort with men Nay as Hee is Christ that is Anointed He is man onely It is his name as man for God cannot be anointed But Hee that should saue vs would be more then man and so more then Christ. Indeed Christ cannot saue vs. Hee that must saue vs must be the Lord. Heb. 7.28 For such a Sauiour it behooueth vs to haue as might not begin the worke of our Saluation and leaue it in the middest but goe through with it and make an end too which the former Sauiours could not doe Formerly euer their complaint was that their Sauiours their Christs died still and le●t them to seeke their Kings and Priests and Prophets dropt away still Heb. 7.23.24 for they were not suffered to endure by reason of death But this Sauiour this Christ because hee is the Lord endureth for euer hath an euerlasting Priesthood kingdome prophesie and so is able perfectly to saue them that come to God by him This is one reason why hither wee must come at the last to Christ the Lord and till we be at it we be not where we should Els our Sauiours will die and leaue vs destitute But the mayne reason is set downe by Esay Fgosum Egosum Esa 43.11 saith God himselfe praeter me non est seruator It is I I that am the Sauiour I am and besides me there is no Sauiour None indeed no true Sauiour but the Lord. All other are short Vana salus hominis sayth the Psalme mans saluation is vaine any saluation is vaine if it be not the Lords 1. Those Christs that were not the Lord could saue but the bodie and not one of them quicken his owne soule Christ that is the Lord can saue soules and bodies his owne and others both 2. Those Christs that were not the Lord could saue but from carnall enemies with armes of flesh He from our ghostly enemies euen spirituall wickednesses in heauenly places from Abaddon the great destroyer of the bottomles pit 3. They that were not the Lord could saue but from worldly calamities could but prune and take of the twigs as it were He from sinne it selfe and so plucketh it vp by the roots 4. They that were not the Lord put it off but for a time and after it came againe Temporall onely He for euer once for all and is become Authour of eternall saluation Heb 5.9 to all that depend on him And marke that word eternall For none but the Lord can worke eternall saluation 5. They all had need of a Sauiour themselues and of this Sauiour Hee needs none receiues of none imparts to all as being not a Sauiour onely Ver. 30. but Salus ipsa in abstracto Saluation it selfe as Simeon calleth him of whose fulnesse we all receiue Io. 1. To saue may agree to man To be saluation can agree to none but to Christ the Lord. To begin and to end to saue soule and bodie from bodily and ghostly enemies from sinne the roote and miserie the branches for a time and for euer to be a Sauiour and to be Saluation it selfe Christ the Lord is all this and can do all this Now then we are right and neuer till now A Sauiour which is Christ the Lord. But the name Lord goeth yet further not onely to saue vs and set vs free from danger to deliuer vs from euill but to state vs in as good and better condition then we forfeited by our fall or else though we were saued we should not saue by the match To make vs then sauers and not sauers alone but gainers and that great gainers by our saluation he doeth further impart also the estate annexed of this last title euen whatsoeuer he is Lord of himselfe And he is Lord of life sayth S. Peter Act. 3.15 Life then he imparts And he is Lord of Glory sayth Saint Paul 1. Cor. 2.8 Glory then he imparts And he is Lord of Ioy. Intra in gaudium Domini Enter into the ioy of the Lord. Matth. 25.21 Ioy then He imparts Life and Glory and Ioy and makes vs Lords of them of whatsoeuer is within the Name and title of Lord. For hauing thereto a double right by Inheritance as the Sonne Heb. 1.2 And by purchase as a Redeemer for therefore he died and rose againe that he might be Lord of all Rom. 14.9 contenting himselfe with the former He is well pleased to set ouer the latter to vs and admit vs with himselfe into his estate of ioynt purchase of heauen or whatsoeuer he is owner of that in right of it we may enter into the life glory and ioy of our Lord and so be saued and be sauers more then sauers euery way This also is in the word Lord this benefit further we haue by it And now if we will put together Natus and Seruator Seruator and Christus Christus and Dominus Dominus and Natus Borne and Sauiour Sauiour and Christ Christ and the Lord the Lord Borne take them which way ye wil in combination any of the foure then haue we his two natures in one person In Seruator his Godhead None but God is a Sauiour In Christus his Manhood God cānot be anointed Man may In Dominus his diuine againe the Lord from heauen In Natus his humane nature directly borne of a woman Both euer carefully ioyned and to be
