The third day was from Abraham to David, 1wherein that precious and express promise of blessing all Nations in Abraham's seed, was made: wherein also Israel was brought out of the Egyptian bondage, (a type of the redemption of the Church from her spiritual bondage under sin and Satan.) In this day the Tabernacle, with the many other types of Christ, his offices and benefits to his Church were first ordained, and Israel settled in the land of Canaan, a type of their heavenly rest. Thus did this third day far exceed the former in glory.

The fourth was from David to the carrying of Israel into captivity.1 Herein a royal government was given to Gods people (a type of Christs royal Kingdom.) Herein most of the extraordinary Prophets (special types of Christs prophetical office) were raised up: and most clear prophecies made of the better things to come in the Christian Church. Herein also Solomons Temple was built, and sundry new and more glorious types of Christ were made, then in the Tabernacle. So much therefore as this Temple of Solomon excelled the Tabernacle of Moses, and the Cherubins, Tables, Altars, Pillars, and all manner of sacred instruments in the Temple, surpassed them that were in the Tabernacle: so much more did Gods goodness in this day exceed the goodness of former days.
