5. The Blood was to be sprinkled upon the Posts of the door, that Death might not enter into their Houses. That sacred Ceremony was typical: for the sign it self had no resemblance of sparing, and certainly the Angel could distinguish between the Israelites and the Egyptians without the bloody mark of Gods Favour: but it had a final respect to Christ. We are secured from destruction by the blood of sprinkling. They were to eat the whole Flesh of the Lamb, to signify our entire taking of Christ upon the terms of the Gospel to be our Prince and Saviour.
