Thesis 22.
Learned Junius goes before us herein, and points out the Type affixed to that Sabbath; For, besides the first institution of it in Paradise, he makes two other causes which he calls Accessory, or affixed and added to it. 1. One was Civill or Civil;1 that men and beasts might rest from their toilsome labour every week. 2. Ceremonial or Ceremonial; for their solemn Commemoration of their deliverance out of Egypt, which we know typified our deliverance by Christ, Deut. 5.15. Some think indeed that their deliverance out of Egypt was upon the Sabbath day; but this I do not urge; because though it be very probable, yet it is not certain; only this is certain, that they were to Sanctify this Day because of this their Deliverance; and 'tis certain this Deliverance was Typical of our deliverance by Christ: and hence 'tis certain that there was a Type affixed to this Sabbath; and because the Scripture is so plain and express in it, I […] inclined to think the same which Junius doth, that this is the Type rather then any other I have yet heard of: against which I know many things may be objected; only it may be sufficient to clear up the place against that which Mr. Brabourne answer• to it.
