That now there is a Sauing Office erected one Anointed to that ende a professed Sauiour to whom all may resort Wee shall not be to seeke there is a Name giuen vnder Heauen Act. 4.12 whereby wee may be sure of saluation the name of Christ 3. That to this our sauing we haue the ioynt consent good will of all parties in this Name Christ. Christ that is he Anoynted what person is He The Sonne the second Person Anoynted by whom By the Father Quem vnxisti Acts 4.27 the first Person Anoynted with what With the holy Ghost Acts 10.38 the third Person So a concurrence of all Persons in this Name all willing and well pleased with the worke of our Saluation 4. If we would be saued we would be saued vnctione by oyle not by vineger Et vnguentum effusum nomen eius Cant. 1.2 And his Name is Christ one that saueth by anoynting 5. And if by Oyle there be hot Oyles with a gentle lenitiue Oyle And the Oyle which he vseth wherewith he is anoynted is the Oyle of gladnesse Gladnesse therefore must needs 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 Esay 61.2 The anoynting this Oyle of gladnesse was vpon him to bestow 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 He 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 3 Christ the Lord. And yet to make our ioy more full the Angel addeth the third A Sauiour which is Christ Christ the Lord. For neither is this all Hee is not Christ onely We must not stay there For the Name Christ will agree hath beene and may bee 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 Hee Christus Dominus the Lord Christ or Christ the Lord. Heb. 7.4 Consider then howe great this Childe is whose Anoynted Kings themselues are For if they bee Christi Domini the Lords Anointed His they are for He is the Lord. The Lord absolute without any addition yee 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 Anoynted Hee is man onely It is His name as man for God cannot be Anoynted But Hee that should saue vs would bee more then man and so more then Christ Indeede Christ cannot saue vs. Hee that must saue vs must bee the Lord. Heb. 7.28 For such a Sauiour it behooueth vs to haue as might not beginne 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 left 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 wee be not where wee should Else our Sauiours will die and leaue vs destitute But the mayne reason is set downe by Esay Esay 43.11 Egosum Egosum 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 saith the Psalme mans saluation is vaine any saluation is vaine if it bee not the Lords 1. Those Christs that were not the Lord could saue but the body 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 Hee from our ghostly enemies euen spirituall wickednesses in heauenly places from Abaddon the great destroyer of the bottomlesse pit 3. They that were not the Lord could saue but from worldly calamities could but prune and take off 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 neede of a Sauiour themselues and of this Sauiour He needes none receiues of none imparts to all as being not a Sauiour onely but Salus ipsa in abstracto Saluation it selfe as Simeon calleth him Verse 30. Ioh. 1. of whose fulnesse we all receiue 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 body 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 doe all this Now then wee 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 euil 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 saith S. Peter Acts. 3.15 Life then he imparts And he is Lord of Glory saith S. Paul 1. Cor. 2.8 Glory then he imparts And he is Lord of Ioy. Intra in gaudium Domi●● Enter into the ioy of the Lord. Matth. 25.21 〈◊〉 then Hee imparts Life and Glorie and Ioy and makes vs Lords of them and of whatsoeuer is within the Name and title of Lord.
