Now we know there is a great deal more in the antitype, then in the type, the type is but a shadow of that which is typified; now if the excellency of the estate of the Church under the Law, was but a type of the estate of the Church under the Gospel, then all that is said of the excellency of that condition, is but as a shadow of that which is now, Heb. 10. 1. The law was a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image; The estate of the Church now under the Gospel, is the image of that glory that is to be revealed, but the Law was but a shadow of that image: as a Limner, first draws a dark shadow of a picture in coal, and after makes the Image; look what difference there is in the excellency of that rude draught by a coal, and the beauty of the Image; such there is between all the excellency of the estate ⟨p. 267⟩of the Church under the Law, and that there is under the Gospel: and therefore, that which is to be expected now, is a great deal more, and should inflame the desires of all, to seek after such a privilege.
