Of Communion with God the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost

3. A teaching by the Spirit of Consolation, making sweet, useful, and joyful to the soul the discoveries that are made of the mind and Will of God in the light of the Spirit of Sanctification. Here the oil of the Spirit, is called the Oil of gladness That which beings Joy and Gladness with it; And the name of Christ hereby discovered, is a sweet ointment poured forth, that causeth Souls to run after him with joy and delight, Cant. 1. 2. We see it by daily experience, that very many have little taste and sweetness and relish in their Souls of those Truths, which yet they savingly know and believe: But when we are taught by this unction, oh how sweet is every thing we know of God? As we may see in the place of John, where mention is made of the teaching of this unction, it respects peculiarly, the Spirit teaching of us the Love of God in Christ, the shining of ⟨p. 288⟩his Countenance, which as David speaks, puts Gladness into our hearts, Psal. 4. 6, 7.
