Adam as a public person disobeying and communicating guilt and punishment to his seed, was a type,1 Rom. 5.14. of Christ obeying and communicating righteousness and life unto his seed. Did then the first Adam put on the nature of the second, and so become a mediator? or did obedience put on the nature of disobedience? Moses the Minister of the Law dying before he came into Canaan (as M. Ainsworth observeth on Numb. 20.12.) signified the impotency of the Law to save; was therefore Moses no instrument of salvation unto any? Cyrus was a type of Christ, must therefore Cyrus not only be saved, but also put on the nature of a Mediator, who neither then Isa. 45.4.5. nor afterwards for ought that appeared, believed? Who ever reasoned thus before, that in any measure understood the nature of a type?
