you_o have_v receive_v the_o truth_n of_o god_n from_o we_o you_o need_v not_o go_v to_o they_o to_o be_v instruct_v thus_o the_o orthodox_n may_v say_v we_o have_v inform_v you_o in_o the_o sound_a knowledge_n of_o god_n you_o need_v not_o to_o go_v to_o papist_n to_o socinian_o for_o more_o light_n and_o truth_n by_o this_o text_n we_o see_v that_o though_o anoint_v do_v chief_o refer_v to_o the_o work_n of_o grace_n yet_o it_o also_o comprehend_v knowledge_n for_o oil_n be_v use_v to_o keep_v up_o the_o light_n of_o their_o lamp_n and_o therefore_o priest_n and_o prophet_n be_v anoint_v so_o that_o this_o very_a expression_n be_v very_o noble_a and_o magnificent_a you_o be_v the_o anoint_a one_o of_o god_n if_o you_o do_v true_o believe_v you_o have_v a_o unction_n from_o the_o

as_o well_o but_o to_o enlarge_v this_o excellent_a point_n we_o must_v first_o know_v who_o be_v the_o fountain_n of_o this_o spiritual_a ointment_n and_o the_o text_n say_v it_o be_v god_n john_n say_v the_o holy_a one_o that_o be_v the_o lord_n christ_n who_o christ_n therefore_o have_v his_o name_n messiah_n and_o christ_n because_o he_o be_v anoint_v as_o the_o head_n and_o then_o as_o from_o aaron_n head_n it_o run_v down_o to_o his_o member_n he_o be_v the_o anoint_a head_n and_o we_o the_o anoint_a member_n whether_o this_o anoint_v of_o christ_n refer_v to_o his_o divine_a

but_o it_o seem_v more_o genuine_a to_o interpret_v more_o large_o as_o a_o effect_n of_o christ_n death_n to_o believe_a gentile_n as_o well_o as_o to_o the_o jew_n it_o be_v from_o christ_n only_o

that_o they_o choose_v to_o die_v yea_o to_o make_v away_o themselves_o this_o as_o it_o be_v a_o heavy_a temptation_n and_o desertion_n from_o god_n so_o it_o argue_v that_o by_o the_o fear_n of_o

be_v not_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n nor_o the_o fear_n of_o hell_n nor_o the_o fear_n of_o sin_n itself_o but_o a_o bodily_a corporal_a death_n that_o restrain_v man_n from_o sin_n so_o that_o if_o
