27. Thesis.
The Types whereby the Person of Christ is described unto us, are either men or things; but those whereby the manner of his Mediation is described, are the ⟨p. 369⟩Sacrifices; and the Benefits, they are signified out unto us by earthly benefits, [as namely] by freedom from the Egyptian bondage; by entrance into the Land of Canaan [and the like.] And so the Prophets by the shadows of earthly blessings did express all things; yea verily our Lord Jesus Christ himself to his Sermons made an addition of miracles, (that they might serve) not only to the confirmation of his Doctrineh, but also to the figuring out of those things unto us, in the cures that he wrought upon the body, which he was ready to confer upon us, in the procuring the welfare of our souls.
