In certain of their sacrifices they had a Lamb, they stuck him, they killed him, and made sacrifice of him, this Lamb was Christ the Son of GOD, he was killed, stuck, and made a sweet smelling Sacrifice for our sins. Of him sayeth God himself, This is 1my beloved Son in whom I am well pleased. ⟨image 8⟩Of him saith John, Behold the Lamb 2of God, which taketh away the sins of the world. Of him Saint Peter speaketh, among men there is none other name given under 3heaven, whereby we must be saved. In his righteousness only we are received as righteous, his blood cleanseth us from all sin, there is no other sacrifice wherewith we may be reconciled to GOD our heavenly Father: all these were Allegories, that is to say, certain resemblances and significations of secrete matters. That striking of the Rock, that feeding upon Manna, that lifting up of the Serpent, that killing of the Lamb, were certain mystical kinds of speaking. And let no man think these things are impertinent or from the purpose: they are incident unto the matter, and grow necessarily of the things we have to speak of.
