And all real types, he is the true Mercy-seat wherein God would be 1heard, and prayed unto: for he covers the Law, the curse of it, as the Mercy-seat did. He is the true brazen Serpent, that whosoever looks on him with the eye of faith, shall not perish, but have everlasting life. He is the true Manna, the bread of life, that type had its yea in Christ. He is the true sacrifice, the Passover Lamb, the Lamb of God that takes away the sins of the world: if our hearts be sprinkled with his blood, the destroying Angel hath nothing to do with us. The Passover hath its yea in him, therefore that which is affirmed of the Pass-over is affirmed of him, Not abone of it shall be broken; that is attributed to Christ, that was performed in the type: that is applied to Christ that was spoken of the Passover: to signify the identity of the type, and the thing signified. He was the yea of that, & of all comfortable types that were real, & personal, all have their yea in him.
