24. Again, you may read in the forty-fourth
psalm Ps. xlv. in Bible and Prayer-book. how the prophet not only calls the Father
“God” but also proclaims the Son as God, saying:
“Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever.” Ps. xlv. 6. And further on: “God,
even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy
fellows.” Ps. xlv. 7. This God
Who anoints, and God
Who in
the flesh is anointed, is the Son of God. For what fellows in His
anointing hath Christ, except such as are in the flesh? You see,
then, that God is by God anointed, but being anointed in taking upon
Him the nature of mankind, He is proclaimed the Son of God; yet is the
principle of the Law not broken.
