Christ is offered up to his Father after three manners.1 Figuratively, Truly with Bloudsheddinge, and Sacramentally, or Mystically. In Figure, or Signification he was offered in the Sacrifices made to God both in the time of the Law of Nature, and also in the time of the law written. And therefore S. John calleth Christ the Lamb,2 which was killed from the beginning of the world, meaning in Figure. The Sacrifices of Abel, Noah, and Abraham, and all those of the people of Israel commanded by the Law of Moses, figured, and Signified Christ. For which respect chiefly, the law is reported of S. Paul,3 to have the shadow of the good things to come. S. Augustine writing against Faustus the Heretic,4 sayeth: Testamenti Veteris Sacrificia omnia multis, & varijs modis unum Sacrificium,5 cuius nunc memoriam celebramus, significaverunt: Al the Sacrifices of the Old Testament signified by many, and sundry ways this one Sacrifice,6 whose memory we do now celebrate. And in an other place he saith,* That in those Fleshly Sacrifices, there was a Signification of Christs Flesh, which he should offer for sins, and of his Blood, which he should shed for the remission of our sins.
Christe is offered vp to his Father after three manners.
