First of truths:1 what is ⟨p. 26⟩the scope of the whole scriptures, but Christ? from the first Promise of the blessed Seed, The Seed of the woman shall break the Serpents head, to the end of the book? What is all the Scriptures without Christ? The Law is a dead letter, yea and so is the Gospel too without Christ, he is that Spirit which gives life unto all the Scriptures; Moses without Christ is but a shadow without a body, or a body without a soul. Take away Christ, what was the Brazen Serpent? What was the Ark? What were the Sacrifices? What is all? Is not Christ all in all these?
