is well represented reason, which is the superior part of the mind. Of this we shall speak in the sixth book also, under the head of Easter Eve, in which confirmation is treated of. [Footnote 502] But this is the reason that before baptism one is anointed with consecrated oil, and after baptism with holy chrism; because chrism is competent to a Christian alone. [Footnote 495: Habakkuk ii, 4.] [Footnote 496: Romans x, 10.] [Footnote 497: S. James ii, 26.] [Footnote 498: Gal. v, 6.] [Footnote 499: This clause does not occur in the _Princeps_ Edition.] [Footnote 500: S. Peter iii, 15.] [Footnote 501: Ecclesiasticus ii, 14.] [Footnote 502: The passage referred to speaks of the diverse graces conferred by the several unctions, and does not illustrate our more particular object.] 7. For Christ is so named from _chrism_, or rather _chrism_ is so called from Christ, not according to the form of the name only, but according to the rational order of faith. For _Christians_ are called from Christ, as _the anointed_ would be derived from the Anointed One, namely, Christ; so that all may unite in the odour of that unguent, namely, Christ, Whose name is as oil poured out: but according to the power of the word, _Christians_ are called so from _chrism_, according to Isidorus. [Footnote 503] This subject is treated in the introduction to the second book. [Footnote 504] [Footnote 503: 'For Christ is named of _chrism_, and meaneth the Anointed One. For it was commanded the Jews to make a holy unguent for such as were called unto the priesthood or the kingdom: and as now the vestment of purple is unto kings the mark of kingly power, so upon these did the unction with sacred unguent bestow the name and kingly power: and hence were they called _Christi_, from _chrism_, which is unction. For _chrisma_ in Greek is _unctio_ in Latin. And this unction did aptly give this name unto our Lord, because He was anointed of the Father by the Spirit, as is said in the Acts of the Apostles, "Against Thy Holy Child Jesus, Whom Thou hast anointed, were they gathered together": not, that is, with visible oil, but with the gift of grace, which is denoted by the visible oil.'
