[The Name Jesus signifies a Saviour, Mat. 1.21. And the Christ, or Messiah, or Messiah, (which in the Hebrew Language are the same that Christ is in the Greek, and are sometimes used in our Translation, as in Dan. 9.25, 26. Joh. 1.41 . & 4.24.) is in English, The Anointed. We read in John 1.41. thus in the Line, We have found the Messiah, which is, being interpreted, the Christ; but in the Margin, The Anointed. It is to be observed that these terms, Messiah and Christ, are in the Scriptures applied to Jesus two manner of ways. For sometimes they denote his Person; for as Jesus is his Name, so also Christ is used for his Name, Matth. 1.16, 17. So Messiah, Dan. 9.26. He is called in the Scriptures, not only Jesus, and Christ, but also Jesus Christ, Christ Jesus, the Lord Jesus Christ, &c.
