I may say, that God did in a manner tie up the Church of the Jews to Types, Figures and Similitudes, ⟨image 3⟩I mean to be butted and bounded by them in all external parts of Worship. Yea, not only the Levitical Law and Temple, but as it seems to me, the whole Land of Canaan, the Place of their Lot to dwell in, was to them as Ceremonial, or a Figure. Their Land was a Type of *Heaven, their passage over Jordan into it, a similitude of our going to Heaven by death. The Fruit of their Land was said to be uncircumcised, as being at their first entrance thither unclean, in which their Land was also a Figure of another thing, even as Heaven was a Type of Sin and Grace.

Again, The very Land it self was said to keep Sabbath, and so to rest a holy rest, even then when she lay desolate, and not possessed of those to whom she was given for them to dwell in.
Yea, many of the Features of the then Church of God, were set forth, as in Figures and Shadows, so by Places, and things in that Land.
