1. Like phrases have a like sense and interpretation. But all these phrases are accounted for like; namely, for sacramental forms of speech, wherein the names or proper effects of the things signified, are attributed to the sign: as, Circumcision is the Govenant of God. The Lamb is the Passover of the Lord. 1The Sabbath is the Covenant of the Lord. The Levitical sacrifices are an expiation or doing away of sin. The blood of sacrifices is the blood of the Covenant. The covering of the Ark is the mercy seat. The Rock was Christ. The bread is the body of Christ. The cup is the New Testament. Baptism washeth away sin. Baptism is the washing of the new birth. Baptism saveth us, &c. Therefore their interpretation is alike. Now God himself interpreteth some of them thus; Circumcision is a sign of the Covenant. The Lamb is a sign and memorial of the Passover. The Sabbath is a sign of the Covenant: Therefore we may justly interpret the rest on the same manner. The Levitical sacrifices signify the atonement for sins, made by the Messiah. The blood of sacrifices is a Sacrament ⟨p. 446⟩or sign confirming the Covenant; or a sign of Christs blood, whereby the Covenant was established. The covering of the Ark signifieth the Mercy-seat. The Rock signifieth Christ. The bread is a Sacrament of the body of Christ. The cup is a Sacrament sealing the new Covenant. Baptism is a Sacrament of the washing away of sins, and of our regeneration and salvation.
