2. Another type of Christ was Joseph, who in many things was a type of Christ,1 Joseph was the best beloved of his fathers children; 2so was Jesus Christ,3 the son of his fathers love: Joseph was hated of his brethren, 4and sold for twenty pieces of silver; so was Jesus Christ, he came unto his own, and his own received him not, he was rejected by them, and sold for thirty pieces of silver. 5Joseph was carried into Egypt; and so perfection drove Christ into Egypt presently after he was born. 6Joseph was falsely accused and condemned: 7so was Christ. Josephs troubles ended in his advancement;8 so all the troubles of Christ, wrought for him a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory: 9God having therefore highly exalted him, and given him a name above every name, for now Christ is sate down at the right hand of the Father; But especially in this, Joseph did type out Jesus Christ, that in that dreadful lasting famine in Egypt, 10Joseph had the custody of all the corn in the land, and he had the issuing out of all the Provision for bread, in all the land of Egypt: So the Lord Jesus is the Lord Keeper of all that store of grace, ⟨p. 177⟩with which believers are furnished, which grace is given to help them in time of need. Jesus Christ hath the Key of David, he hath the Key of the treasury of grace.
