The Angel in prescribing to the woman, that she should drink no 1wine, nor eat no unclean thing said so, because the child that she should bear, should be a Nazarite to the Lord: who (by the law of the Nazarite) was himself to be tied to certain ceremonies, for that time of his so being: the one was that he should (also) abstain from wine; secondly, that no razor should come on his head; thirdly, that he should not touch or come near any dead body: of this read further in the book of Numbers. Now a Nazarite was one that was separated from others, and more particularly 2such a one as served the Lord in a more strict manner then other did: as for Samson, who was to continue this estate throughout his life, he was a peculiar person and therefore a type of Christ, not only in death, and that ⟨p. 616⟩most victorious, but even in life, wherein our Saviour fulfilled all righteousness.
