by the rite and ceremony of annoynting and that typically to shadow out that CHRIST was ordained of his father our spirituall King Prophet and Priest Priests were annoynted Leuit. 21. 10. Kings were annoynted 1 Sam. 10. 1. Prophets were annoynted 1 King 19. 16. This name CHRIST therefore teaches that hee is the true annoynted King Priest and Prophet of his Church Acts 4. 27. Thine holy sonne Iesus whom thou hast annoynted Acts 10. 38. God annoynted Iesus of Nazareth with the holy Ghost and with power Psal 45. 7. God euen thy God hath annoynted thee with the oyle of gladnesse aboue all thy fellowes There is his annoynting as King which is also found Psal 89. 20. And CHRIST applying that Isa 61. 1. to himselfe Luk. 4. 18. shewes thereby his annoynting as a Prophet yea and this is to bee marked that the three offices of King Priest and Prophet though they were in some doubled yet neuer had any one all of them ioyntly but CHRIST who was annoynted with the oyle of gladnesse aboue his fellowes MELCHISEDEC was King and Priest SAMVEL was Priest and Prophet DAVID was King and Prophet but onely CHRIST King Priest and Prophet Hee alone was indeede that annoynted One at whom all legall vnctions poynted For the better vnderstanding of this poynt consider breefly foure things 1. The parts of his annoynting They are two First his consecration whereby hee was set a part to doe the office of a Mediatour betweene God and Man For as the Priest vnder the Law Exod. 30. 30. when he was annoynted was thereby separate and set apart for the office of the Preist-hood and consecrated vnto that function So Christs annoynting consists first in this in being from all eternity set apart to be a Mediatour between God and man and the King Priest and Prophet of his Church Secondly the effusion or powring forth the fulnesse of Gods spirit and grace into his man-hood And therefore Isa 61. 1. and Acts 10. hee is sayd to bee annoynted with the Holy Ghost Wherein Christs annoynting excells the annoyntings of all Kings Priests Prophets inasmuch as the oyle wherwith he was annoynted was the spirit of God it selfe 2. The obiect of this annoynting The obiect or subiect is the whole person of Christ God and man He was annoynted in both natures for hee was annoynted as Mediatour now he is Mediatour not as man onely but in both natures and therefore in both natures annoynted But this must rightly bee vnderstood Hee was annoynted in the Godhead onely in regard of the first part which was Consecration by which hee was designed to be Mediatour 3. The manner or measure of his annoynting That we finde Ioh. 3. 34. Hee hath not receiued the spirit by measure that is hee hath receiued the spirit of GOD in a wonderfull extraordinary measure Indeede we all receiue the Spirit in measure Ephes 4. 7. But vnto euery one of vs is giuen grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ But his measure was a measure well heaped and thrust euen so great a measure as a finite nature was capable of Therefore Psal 45. 7. Thy GOD hath annoynted thee with the oyle of gladnesse aboue thy fellowes More grace hath he then all others yea all that others haue they haue from him for of his fulnesse wee all receiue Yet was not this measure infinite for the man-hood is finite 4. The benefits wee haue by his being CHRIST that is Annoynted They are these three 1. Wee are heereby made Kings and Preists Reuel 1. 6. 2. Wee by his annoynting are also annoynted with the gifts of GODS spirit 1 Ioh. 2. 27. and hence GODS Saints are called GODS annoynted Psal 105. 15. and wee called Christians from CHRIST And if CHRIST had not beene annoynted neither should we For the oyle that was powred on AARONS head Psal 133. 2. ranne downe vpon his beard and the border of his garments but yet first vpon his head and then to the garments So wee are annoynted but our head first and so this oyle of grace runnes downe from the head vnto all the parts of this mysticall body 3. Hereby GOD smells a sweet sauor of rest in all our sacrifices duties and seruices CHRIST being annoynted with that sweet oyle and wee being in him are a sweet sauor vnto the Lord yea hence haue our prayers their sweetnesse Whatsoeuer touched any thing that was annoynted with the holy oyle was holy Exod. 30. 29. yea the altar of incense was annoynted with holy oyle CHRIST is that annoynted altar our incense our prayers layd and offered thereon thereby come to be sweet and holy By this mayest thou try whether CHRIST be in Vse 1 thee or no. Hee is Annoynted and the sweet oyle powred out vpon him if hee bee in thee thou shalt know it by the sweetnesse of the oyntment When the box of oyntment was broken vpon CHRISTS feet the sauour thereof filled the whole house How can I then beleeue that CHRIST is in that heart where are nothing but the dunghilly sauours of the world the nasty sauours of rottennesse and corruption and the vile stench of carnall thoughts This sweet oyntment should draw our affections to him Cant. 1. 2. They are wise and blessed virgins Vse 2 that labour to smell the sweetnesse of GODS annoynted and in the sense of the sweetnesse of his graces enflame their affections towards him But the sauour of the earth and the noysome smells of the lusts of the flesh doe so stuffe our heads that we cannot smell any such sweetnesse as should make our affections to long after him That CHRIST our head is annoynted it is great Vse 3 comfort to vs. Thou feelest thy selfe dry and empty of grace but yet remember our head is annoynted with the oyle of grace euen whole riuers of this oyle are powred forth vpon him and that not for himselfe but for vs. Whence we are called Christians because euery one of vs in our measure shall bee made partakers of this vnction If wee be members of CHRISTS body though the meanest the lowest the foot the very skirts of the garments thou canst not misse of thy share in this oyle It will runne downe all the body from the head Thus wee see what a sweet name this name of Christ is his name is indeede as an oyntment powred out Cant. 1. 2. 2. The thing prayed for The grace of c. of this before verse 3. Thus as PAVL begun with prayer so ends he with prayer So should all our actions be both begunne and closed with prayer So Col. 3. 17. And whatsoeuer yee shall doe in word or in deed doe all in the name of the Lord Iesus Therefore the Israelites when they remooued and pitched their tents they did neither without prayer Numb 10. 35. 36. Prayer should beginne and prayer should end the day Then if our actions prooue successefull wee may reioyce in the successe as of GOD of whom wee begged it if not wee
