[Vers. 5] VERS. 5. For many shall come in my Name saying; I am CHRIST: and shall deceive many.

Our Saviour in saying here, that many shall come in his name, saying, they are CHRIST, seemes to imply, that many Antichrists under the name of Christ shall deceive many. Whence these questions may be demanded; namely,

[Quest. 1] How many wayes is the name CHRIST ta∣ken, that our Saviour saith here, Many shall come in his Name, saying, they are Christs?

[Answ. 1] First, it is taken sometimes Commonly; and thus the name of Christ belongeth to all that are anointed of God; and that either to the speciall calling of a King, Prophet, or Priest, or to the ge∣nerall calling of a Christian. And in this sense it is taken, either

I. More largely for the whole body of those who professe the name of Christ, whereof some are members of Christ in title and profession one∣ly. Or,

II. More strictly for the society of the Elect, the Citizens of heaven, who have the marke of God (Revel. 9.4.) and are not onely in shew and profession, but also indeed and in truth members of the mysticall body of CHRIST.

[Answ. 2] Secondly, the name of Christ is taken sometimes properly, and peculiarly 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 and signifieth JESVS the Sonne of God, who was anointed with the oyle of gladnesse above all his fellowes, and is the head after a generall manner, of all Christians, but more especially of the Elect.
