Why is he called Christ, that is, anointed?

Because he was ordained of the Father, and anointed of the holy Ghost^a the chief Prophet^b and Teacher, who^c hath opened unto us the secret Counsel, & all the will of his Father concerning our Redemption, and the high Preist, who with that one only Sacrifice of his Body^d hath redeemed us, and doth^e continually make Intercession to his Father for us; and a King, who ruleth us by his Word and Spirit, and defendeth^f and maintaineth that Salvation which he hath purchased for us.
