§. 120. Of the fit resemblance of anointing with Oil.
§. 120. Of the fit resemblance of annointing with Oyl.
Very fitly is this Metaphor of anointing with oil used, to set out the mystery of the Spirit and the gifts thereof; especially if it be extended to the mystical body of Christ, in reference both to the head thereof and also to the members: For the oil wherewith Christ was anointed was like the oil poured on Aaron's head, It ran down upon the beard, and went to the skirts of his garment, Psa. 133. 2, 3. So the Spirit poured on Christ as head of the Church, ran down upon his body and upon the several members thereof.
VEry fitly is this Metaphor of annointing with oyl used, to set out the mystery of the Spirit and the gifts thereof; especially if it be extended to the mysticall body of Christ, in reference both to the head thereof and also to the members: For the oyl wherewith Christ was annointed was like the oyl poured on Aarons head, It ran down upon the beard, and went to the skirts of his garment, Psa. 133. 2, 3. So the Spirit poured on Christ as head of the Church, ran down upon his body and upon the severall members thereof.
This is to be observed, because many of the particular resemblances here following cannot be applied to the anointing of the head alone; but may be applied to the anointing of the body and members.
