2. Moses was a Type of Christ in his Education; he was bred up a while at Court, and (as Josephus saith) Pharaohs Daughter set a Crown of Gold upon his Head; but leaving the Court he went and lived in the Land of Midian, Exod. 2.15. so Christ left the Royal Court of Heaven to come and live in the World.
3. Moses was a type of Christ in his Office; he was a Prophet, Deut. 34.10. and there arose not a Prophet since in Israel like unto Moses. He acquainted Israel with the mind of God, he gave them the two Tables of the Law. So Jesus Christ is a Prophet, Luke 24.19. he reveals to his people ⟨p. 336⟩the mysteries of salvation, He unseals the Book of Gods decree*, and makes known his Will, Rev. 5.5. He is counted worthy of more glory then Moses, Heb. 3.3.
