A lamb is a token of innocency, and from the beginning appointed for sacrifices. Abel offered up a Lamb, after the law was offered a daily sacrifice, in the morning a lamb, and at evening a lamb. For christ is the expiation of them, which were in the beginning of the world, and which in the end shall be. The Paschal lamb in the .12. of Exodus. ⟨p. 164⟩Whose blood prohibited the Angel destroyer from the houses and tents, represented the figure of Christ, by whose precious blood we are reconciled to God. This exposition of the Paschal lamb S. Peter him self in the .1. Pet. 1. and S. Paul in the .1. to the Corinth. 5. have brought. Isaiah accordeth with them in the .53. chapter. And so expounded by the Apostle S. Philip in the 8. of the Acts. Finally S. John Baptist, which with the finger stretched out and pointing to Christ, exclaimed: behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sins of the world. Let us therefore believe, that the same Jesus Christ, unto whom all power is given of the father, to be our deliverer, our expiation, reconciliation, innocency, sanctification, justification and everlasting salvation: as he whom we shall hear in the xiii. chapt. to have ben slain from the beginning of the world, for so much as his only death, & one oblation made from the beginning of the world, and continually to the worlds end, doeth sanctify all those that are sanctified Which the Apostle also affirmeth in the .10. to the Hebrews.
