This word of inference Therefore, may also be taken as a manifestation of Gods anointing him, Thus, Christ loved righteousness, therefore it was manifest that God anointed him; as where Christ saith, therefore the Kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain King, Mat. 18. 23. It is manifest that the Kingdom of Heaven is like, &c.
This word of inference Therefore, may also be taken as a manifestation of Gods annointing him, Thus, Christ loved righteousnesse, therefore it was manifest that God annointed him; as where Christ saith, therefore the Kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain King, Mat. 18. 23. It is manifest that the Kingdom of Heaven is like, &c.
This relative Therefore as it noteth a cause hath reference to the former part, thus, God hath anointed thee, therefore thou lovest Righteousness: As it declareth a consequence, it hath reference to the latter part, thus, Thou lovest righteousness, therefore God hath anointed thee, that is, saw it meet to anoint thee.

None of these senses cross the other; but they may well stand together; For God may anoint Christ and depute him to his Function because he loveth righteousness; and Christ may manifest his love of righteousness because God hath anointed him.
