Answ. A Type is a person or thing having or not having some Physical aptnesse thereunto instituted of God to signifie a spiritual truth.
Of types some do signify but not exemplify, as Hosea's three children whose name signified but did not exemplify the truth to be fulfilled in the Antitype; of such as both signify and exemplify, some exemplify without any sense or feeling of the thing exemplified,1 as Jeremies Girdle, Chap. 13. some exemplify with suffering, yet so as holding less proportion with the truth signified, so the wounding of the Prophet prefigured the death of Ahab, 1 King. 20.37, some hold more proportion, as the present Lamb slain and roasted, typified Christs sufferings of the wrath of God, yet still so as the Antitype hath more then the type.
