Now, the anointing of Jesus Christ is, §11. The ordaining of the Son of God to the office of the chief Prophet, Priest, and King of the Church. §22. The special communicating of the gifts of the holy Ghost necessary for his office. §33. Gods approbation and prospering of this office. The Lord would break him, 1and make him subject to infirmities: when he shall make his soul an offering for sin, be shall see his seed, and shall prolong his days, and the will of the Lord shall prosper in hid hand: He shall see of the travel of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities: Therefore will I give him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil. Jesus then, the Son of God and Mary,2 is called Messiah, or Christ, or Anointed: §11. Because he was appointed of his Father from everlasting, the Mediator, that is, the chief Prophet, Priest, and King of the Church. This is confirmed by this reason: He that is to be a Prophet, a Priest, and a King, and is called Anointed, he is in respect of those three called Anointed. But the Mediator, which was called Messiah, or Anointed, was to be the chief Prophet, Priest, and King of the Church: Therefore he is in respect of those three, called Anointed, or Christ. Again, the same is showed by many places of Scripture.3 I came not of my self, &c. I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, 4but his will which hath sent me. Christ took not to himself this honour to be made the High Priest; but he that said unto him, Thou art my Son, this day begat I thee, &c. The Lord swore, 5thou art a Priest for ever, after the order of Melchizedek. Jesus Christ yesterday, and to day, the same is also for ever. The Lamb slain from the beginning of the world. Christ is made of God unto us, wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption. So he is often called the Angel of the covenant, sent of old unto the Church.
