There were three sorts of Functions in the Old Testament, into which they were instituted by Ointment, Kings, Priests, and Prophets; Kings, 1 Sam. 13.10, 11. so Priests, Exod. 29.7. so Prophets, 1 King. 19.16. now Christ being ordained to be King, Priest, and Prophet, therefore he is called the Anointed, [Greek or Hebrew] Joh. 12.15. Luke 1.32, 33. Heb. 6.20. Heb. 7.24. Acts 3.22, 23. all other Unctions were but types of him, therefore he is said to be anointed with the oil of gladness above his fellows, Psal. 45.7. he was not only gladded himself, but all the ends of the earth were made glad by him therefore he is called [Greek or Hebrew]; now because he was not a type, but the person typified, he was not anointed with material oil, but with the Spirit of God which is the true Unction, Acts 10.38.
