the Gentiles the Wrestlers were anointed Which may be applied to Christ who was now to wrestle and conflict with all the Prejudices and Difficulties of Man's Salvation But it is rather taken from the Customs of the Ceremonial Law Three sorts of Persons we find to be anointed among the Jews Kings as Saul David Solomon 1 Sam. 9.16 Thou shalt anoint him to be Captain over my People Israel Therefore they were called the Lord 's Anointed 1 Sam. 26.11 Priests All the Priests that ministred in the Tabernacle or Temple chiefly the High-Priest who was a special Figure of Christ Exod. 29.29 And the Holy Garments of Aaron shall be his Sons after him to be anointed therein and to be consecrated in them Prophets 1 Kings 19.16 Elisha the Son of Shaphat shalt thou anoint to be Prophet in thy room As Oil strengthneth and suppleth the Joints and maketh them agile and fit for Exercise so it noteth a designation and fitness for the Functions to which they were appointed So Christ because he was not to be a Typical Priest or Prophet or King therefore he was not typically but spiritually anointed not with a Sacramental but real Unction not of Men but of God immediatly Therefore we shall inquire how Christ was anointed It implyeth two things 1. The giving of Power and Authority Heb. 5.5 Christ glorified not himself to be made an High Priest but he that said unto him Thou art my Son this day have I begotten thee Therefore though Christ be of the same Power and Authority with the Father yet as Mediator he must be appointed Christ took not on him the honour of a Mediator but received it of his Father God needeth not to appoint a Mediator it was his free Grace To save Sinners is not proprietas Divinae Naturae but Opus liberi Concilii This Council had its rise from the Mercy and free Grace of the Father he might have required this punishment of our selves If any had interposed to mediate for us without God's Will and Calling his Mediation would have been of no value a Pledg whereof we have in Moses Exod. 32.32 33. Yet now if thou wilt forgive their Sins and if not blot me I pray thee out of the Book of Life And the Lord said unto Moses Whosoever hath sinned against me him will I blot out of my Book And besides where should we have found a sufficient Mediator unless he should have given us one Therefore there is much in the Father's anointing or appointment therefore is the Mediation of Christ so effectual it is made by his own Will John 8.42 I proceeded forth and came from God neither came I of my self but he sent me John 6.27 Him hath God the Father sealed as a Magistrate hath the King's Broad Seal Which is a great comfort when we go to God we may offer him Christ as authorized by himself thou hast sent thy own Son to be a Mediator for me And we may plead it to our selves in Faith God the Supream Judg the wronged Party hath appointed Christ to take up the Controversy between him and me 2. The bestowing on him the Holy Ghost who might make the humane Nature fit for the Work So Acts 10.38 Him hath God anointed with the Holy Ghost and with Power The humane Nature of Christ was fitted for the Employment for though it were exalted to great Privileges yet it could not act beyond its Sphere and Sanctification is the personal Operation of the third Person Now the Work of the Holy Ghost was in the Womb of the Virgin to preserve the Humane Nature of Christ from the infection of Sin From a Sinner nothing could be born but what was unclean and sinful by this Anointing Christ was made perfectly just strengthned to all Offices especially to offer up himself Heb. 9.14 Who through the Eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God To overcome all Difficulties and Temptations Isa. 42.1 Behold my Servant whom I uphold my Elect in whom my Soul delighteth I have put my Spirit upon him The Work of Redemption was a weighty Work Christ had to do with God Devil and Man to bear the Wrath of God for the whole World 2. To what was Christ anointed To the Office of a Mediator in general particularly to be King Priest and Prophet of the Church To be a Prophet to teach us by his Word and Spirit Mat. 17.5 This is my beloved Son in whom I am well-pleased hear ye him God bespeaketh audience To be a Priest to intercede and die for us To be a King to rule us by his Spirit and to give Grace and Glory to us Vse 1. Let us receive Christ as an anointed Saviour Christ is set over us by Authority Let us come to him as a Prophet denying our own Reason and Wisdom as a Priest seeking all our acceptance with God through his Merit Let us plead Lord Thou hast anointed Christ to offer himself a Sacrifice for me As a King let us give up our selves to the Authority and Discipline of his Spirit God's anointing is the true Reason and Cause why we should come to Christ. Vse 2. Comfort We are anointed too Christ's Ointment is shared amongst his Fellows he was anointed more than we but we have our part Psal. 133.2 Like the precious Ointment upon the Head that ran down upon the Beard even Aaron 's Beard that went down to the Skirts of his Garment 1 John 2.27 The anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you We are made Prophets Priests and Kings Prophets meet to declare his Praises Priests fit for holy ministring Kings to reign over our Corruptions here and with Christ for ever in glory as the Queen is crowned with the King SERMON V. JOHN XVII 4 I have glorified Thee on the Earth I have finished the Work which Thou gavest me to do IN this Verse there is another Argument to inforce the main Request of his being glorified it is taken from the faithful discharge of his Duty and his Integrity in it it was all finished and finished to God's Glory therefore it was not unjust that he should now desire to be glorified When our Work is ended then we look to receive our Wages Now saith Christ I have finished the Work and besides which giveth weight to the Argument I have glorified Thee The Reason of Christ's Request seems to be taken from the Eternal Covenant Do your Work and you shall see your Seed and from those Promises 1 Sam. 2.30 Them that honour me I will honour Prov. 4.8 Exalt her and she shall promote thee she shall bring thee to honour when thou dost embrace her Well Christ sheweth that his Request is not unequal Though this be the general Relation of the Context yet it is good to note the particular dependance between this and the former Verse Christ said that it was Eternal Life to know him that was sent now he sheweth he had discharged that Work for which he was

more that he would be our Husband and yet further that he would be our Head He counted it an Honour and bought it at a dear rate 1. We are given to him to be Subjects of his Kingdom Christ is Lord of all the World but he prizeth to Title like that of King of Saints Rev. 15.3 to rule as Lord in the Church No Throne like the Conscience of an humbled Sinner The Heart is Christ's best Presence-Chamber he loveth to have his Chair of State set there He had an eternal Right together with the Father and the Holy Ghost but he would come and suffer and be crowned with a Crown of Thorns that he might have a new Right as Mediator and have the Crown of Glory put upon his Head in the Church Acts 5.31 Him hath God exalted with his right hand to be a Prince and a Saviour The Father promised it long before upon Bargain and Contract There is never a Subject that Christ hath but is bought and with the dearest Price his Soveraign's own Blood Mat. 20.28 He gave himself 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 a ransome for many Many Subjects die in other Kingdoms that the Prince may be seated in the Throne but here the Prince dieth for the Subjects that he may govern his Spiritual Realm with more Peace and Quietness As the Price was great so the Father hath made him a large Grant 1. Christ's Empire is Universal and spread throughout the World He properly is the Catholick King there are no Bounds and Limits of his Empire Isa. 53.12 Therefore will I divide him a Portion with the great and he shall divide the spoil with the strong Some of all Nations are given to him Isa. 49.12 Behold these shall come from far and lo these from the North and from the West and these from the Land of Sinim North West South Jews and Gentiles The Jews that are now his Enemies shall appoint to themselves a Head as the Tribes flocked to Hebron to crown David Hos. 1.11 Then shall the Children of Judah and the Children of Israel be gathered together and appoint themselves one Head and they shall come up out of the Land There is no King like Christ for largeness of Command and Territory All Monarchs have certain Bounds and Limits by which their Empire is terminated Christ's Empire runneth throughout the whole Circuit of Nature he hath a Multitude of Subjects 2. Christ's Empire is Eternal Of the increase of his Government there shall be no end Isa. 9.7 Kings must die and then their Favourites may be counted Offenders So Bathsheba said to David who yet was a Type of the Reign of Christ 1 Kings 1.21 When my Lord the King shall sleep with his Fathers I and my Son Solomon shall be counted Offenders But Christ liveth and reigneth for evermore But you will say Christ doth not reign for ever but till he hath put all Enemies under his Feet when he shall resign up the Kingdom to the Father 1 Cor. 15.24 I Answer In Kingly Dignity there are two things Regia Cura and Regius Honor Kingly Care and Kingly Honour Kingly Care by which he ordereth and defendeth his Subjects and Kingly Honour which he receiveth from his Subjects Certainly Christ shall be King for ever and ever Luke 1.33 And he shall reign over the House of Jacob for ever and of his Kingdom there shall be no end because he shall always be honoured and adored as King and Mediator He shall resign the Kingdom that is that way of Administration for when the Elect are fully converted and sanctified and their Enemies destroyed there will be no need of this Care Now thus we are given to Christ that he might be a King Universally and Eternally He ruleth us by a sweet Covenant he might rule us by Power Other Kings find Subjects he maketh them He might rule us for he bought us he hath an absolute right over us As there was a Covenant between the Father and Christ so between Christ and the Church He propoundeth no less than a Kingdom Isa. 10.8 Are not my Princes altogether Kings Christ's Title is by Purchase Conquest and Consent All Christ's Subjects were Vessels of Wrath Vessels of Hell in their natural Estate he recovered us from the Devil by Power and Conquest he bought us out of his Father's Hands by Merit and Price In short concerning this Kingdom which belongeth to the second Person The Father appoints it the Son merits it the Holy Ghost as Christ's Vice-Roy governs it The Father chuseth a certain number of Men giveth them to Christ the Son dieth for these Men ransometh them from the Grave and Hell and committeth them to be ruled and governed to the Spirit as Christ's Vicar the Spirit useth the Ministry of Men we are the Holy-Ghost's Overseers Acts 20.28 by which Grace is wrought and so we are united to Christ. Our Work by the Power of the Spirit is to bring them to Christ and Christ bringeth us to God the Father by his Intercession and by final Tradition which is the last Act of Christ's Mediatory Kingdom 1 Cor. 15.24 Then shall he deliver up the Kingdom to the Father God giveth us to Christ Christ to the Spirit the Spirit uniteth us to Christ and Christ bringeth us to God So that if we would enter into this Kingdom we must go to God the Father confess thou art a Traitor and Rebel desire him not to enter into Judgment with thee but seek to be reconciled If thou thus comest to the Father he will send thee to the Son as Job 42.8 God biddeth the Friends of Job to seek his Intercession I will not be pleased with you but in Christ. If I did not regard the presence of Jehoshaphat I would not look to thee nor see thee 2 King 3.14 Go to the Son reflect upon Christ's Merit and Intercession say Lord appear for us before thy Father were it not for thee he would not regard my Face The Son will send you to the Spirit I cannot bring you to God in your Impurity and Rebellion go to the Spirit of my Father that he may wash you and purge you Plead the promise of the Spirit John 16.13 14. Howbeit when he that is the Spirit of Truth shall come he will guide you into all Truth for he shall not speak of himself but whatsoever he shall hear that shall he speak and he will shew you things to come He shall glorify me for he shall receive of mine and shall shew it to you When we come to the Spirit he will send us to Moses and the Prophets hear them The Word is the Rod of his Strength By the Word we are gained by the Sacraments we take an Oath of Allegiance in Prayer we perform our Homages in Alms and Acts of Charity we pay him Tribute Praise and Honour are the Revenues of this Crown Thus I have shewed the Title the largeness of the Grant and the manner of Administration 2. We are

Zin because ye sanctified me not in the midst of the Children of Israel 4. Another Quality to be discerned in the Manner and Form of the Scriptures is the Harmony and Agreement that is to be found in them all along notwithstanding the diversity of Times Places and Persons still there is an increase of Knowledg and Dispensations rise higher and higher as the Light increaseth till Noon-day but there is no difference Luke 1.70 As he spake by the Mouth of his Holy Prophets which have been since the World began One Mouth many Prophets They lived in such distant Ages handled such diversity of Arguments yet all conspired in promoting the same Truth which is now revealed to us in the New Testament There is a great difference of Style some speak with more loftiness and majesty others with greater familiarity and humility of Expression yet all promoting the same thing There is a difference in the manner of Prosecution yet an exact harmony in the Substance and essential Quality of their Writings not only in their general drift and scope to set out the Glory of God and the Good of Mankind but in the matter handled without any spice of secular Vanity as is to be seen in other Writings So that one and the same Spirit appeareth throughout the whole 1 Cor. 12.4 Now there are diversities of Gifts but the same Spirit Yea there is not only a diversity of Style but a different degree of Light according to the increase of God's Dispensations yet there is an Harmony God's Name and Style and the Mystery of Christ was made known to the Church by degrees the solemn Title and Style of God was not one and the same from the beginning of the World but tho they were divers yet they were not one contrary to another but one perfecting the other He is called by Melchisedeck The most High God Possessor of Heaven and Earth Gen. 14.19 Afterwards by reason of his Covenant with Abraham 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 God Alsufficient Gen. 17.1 I am the Almighty God or the Alsufficient God walk before me and be thou perfect Then when he was put to it he made known himself by the Name of Jehovah Exod. 6.2 3. And God spake unto Moses and said unto him I am the Lord. And I appeared unto Abraham unto Isaac and unto Jacob by the Name of God Almighty but by my Name IEHOVAH was I not known unto them And after the appropriation of the Covenant to the Family of the Patriarchs he is called the God of Abraham of Isaac and of Jacob Exod. 3.15 The Lord God of your Fathers the God of Abraham the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob hath sent me unto you This is my Name for ever and this is my Memorial unto all Generations Then upon experience of God's care of them he is called Exod. 20.2 The Lord thy God which hath brought thee out of the Land of Egypt out of the House of Bondage Then the Lord that brought his People out of the North Country Jer. 23.7 8. Therefore behold the days come saith the Lord that they shall no more say The Lord liveth that brought up the Children of Israel out of the Land of Egypt But the Lord liveth which brought up and which led the Seed of the House of Israel out of the North Country and from all Countries whither I had driven them and they shall dwell in their own Land Then when the Sun of Righteousness was risen the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ 1 Pet. 1.3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ which according to his abundant Mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively Hope c. 2 Cor. 1.3 Blessed be God even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ the Father of Mercies and the God of all Comfort Ephes. 1.3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ who hath blessed us with all Spiritual Blessings in Heavenly Places in Christ. So for the Mystery of Redemption First it was revealed to Adam to be by the Seed of the Woman Gen. 3.15 I will put enmity between thee and the Woman and between thy Seed and her Seed It shall bruise thy Head and thou shalt bruise his Heel Then to Abraham by thy Seed Gen. 12.3 In thee shall all the Families of the Earth be blessed which was repeated to Isaac to cut off Ishmael then to Jacob to cut off Esau. Then it was revealed out of what Tribe he should come viz. out of Judah Gen. 49.10 The Scepter shall not depart from Judah nor the Law-giver from between his Feet until Shiloh come Then that he should come of David's Line Isa. 11.1 There shall come forth a Rod out of the Stem of Jesse and a Branch shall grow out of his Roots And that he should be born of a Virgin Isa. 7.14 Behold a Virgin shall conceive and shall bear a Son and shall call his Name Immanuel There is a difference of manifestation yet still an Harmony as there is a difference between a small Print and a great Print but the Matter is the same The Mystery of God manifested in the Flesh is set forth in a fairer Edition 5. There is one Character more in the Form and Manner of these Writings and that is Impartiality Kings and Subjects are bound by the same Laws liable to the same Punishments encouraged by the same Promises If the Scriptures were only a Politick Device to keep Subjects in awe there would be some exemption for Potentates but they are alike obnoxious to God's Judgment and the same Tophet that is provided for the Peasant is provided for the Prince Isa. 30.33 For Tophet is ordained of old yea for the King it is prepared he hath made it deep and large c. Tophet was a Valley where the Idolatrous Jews were wont to burn their Children therefore as a fit Type of Everlasting Punishment it is put for Hell it is capacious enough to receive all King and Subject Now the Scriptures that threaten Potentates as well as others must needs be a Law that cometh from an higher than the Highest Who would presume else to threaten those in Power Rev. 20.12 And I saw the Dead small and great stand before God and the Books were opened and another Book was opened which was the Book of Life and the Dead were judged out of those things which were written in the Books according to their Works On this side the Grave there is a distinction between Man and Man but all are alike obnoxious to Christ's Judgment and all stand in dread of it There is enough in the Scriptures to astonish the Heart of the mightiest Potentate and make it tremble II. Now from the Matter of the Scriptures I am much prevented from what is published on James 1.18 But let me speak something now All that is spoken in the Scripture may be reduced to these five Heads Precepts Promises Doctrines Histories Prophecies Now all these
