All the Rests therefore that Moses gave them, and that Joshua gave them too, were but typical of another day, in which God would give them rest, vers. 9, 10. And whether the day to come, was Christ, or Heaven, it makes no matter: 'Tis enough that they before did fail, as always Shadows do, and that therefore mention by David is, and that afterward, made of another day. There remains therefore a rest to the people of God. A Rest to come, of which the Seventh day in which God rested, and the Land of Canaan, was a type; which Rest begins in Christ now, and shall be consummated in glory.
And in that he saith, There remains a Rest, referring to that of David, What is it, if it signifies not, that the other Rests remain not? There ⟨p. 52⟩remains therefore a Rest; a Rest prefigured by the Seventh day, and by the Rest of Canaan, though they are fled and gone.
There remains a Rest; a Rest which stands not now in signs or shadows, in the Seventh day, or Canaan; but in the Son of God, and his Kingdom, to whom, and to which the weary are invited to come for rest. Isai. 28. 12. Matth. 11. 28. Heb. 4. 11.
