6. Moreover, you should know that in the old
Scripture there lies the symbol of this Chrism. For what time
Moses imparted to his brother the command of God, and made him
High-priest, after bathing in water, he anointed him; and Aaron was
called Christ or Anointed, evidently from the typical Chrism. So
also the High-priest, in advancing Solomon to the kingdom, anointed him
after he had bathed in Gihon 1 Kings i. 39.. To them
however these things happened in a figure, but to you not in a figure,
but in truth; because ye were truly anointed by the Holy Ghost.
Christ is the beginning of your salvation; for He is truly the
First-fruit, and ye the mass Rom. xi. 16.; but if the
First-fruit be holy, it is manifest that Its holiness will pass to the
mass also.
