In Heb. 10. ver. 1. He says of the good things of the Gospel, that what the Law held forth, were but the Shadows of those good things to come, as Canaan of Heaven, Chap. 4, &c. the like 2 Col. 17. And why may it not be also said, that as all the good things under the Law, the best were but shadows of those good things to come, so that the highest and worst of outward evil things executed then, were in like manner but shadows of those evil things which the Gospel brings to Light, as the Punishment of Sin. And we may see in his succeeding ⟨p. 42⟩Discourse in this same Chapter, how he having first instanced in the Good, he after instanceth in the highest of Evil, in these Words I am upon, ver. 27, 28, 29, 30, 31. And in like manner the like extraordinary Judgments then, are expressly said to have happened to them as Types, (so in the Greek and Margin) 1 Cor. 10. 111. Types not merely monitory of like Events, but withal prefigurative of Punishment of an higher kind, &c. What Death could be outwardly sorer, than 2to be destroyed of Serpents? ver. 9. and those fiery too, Numb. 21. 6. the Effects of whose Stings are described to be as dolorous as being burnt alive. But under the Gospel, Sin and the Law, and so God's Wrath, these as the substance are set out to be the Sting of that Death to come, 1 Cor. 15. 55. *Again, ver. 10. destroyed of the Destroyer. Who was the Destroyer then? Angels. So Heb. 11. 28. And what Destruction or Destroyer under the Gospel is it, that is typified out by these? even God Himself: who, as by Christ, is said to kill the Soul, and destroy Body and Soul in Hell: So, ere the Apostle took off his Pen from prosecuting that Argument, in the very same Chapter, he in full effect says as much, in setting afore them, how it was God's Power
