Moses was a Type of Christ in his Person: (1.) He was of mean Parents and Birth: So was Christ in respect of his Flesh, or human Nature, of a poor decayed and dried Stock, being born of a poor Virgin. (2.) Moses was no sooner born, but he was exposed to the Wrath of Pharaoh King of Egypt, who sought to put him to death: So Christ in his Infancy was sought by King Herod to be slain; but both by God's extraordinary Providence were delivered. (3.) Moses was of a meek and sweet disposition, above all that dwelt upon the Earth, yet full of Zeal and Indignation against Sin: So Christ was a Pattern of Meekness and Humility, Learn of me, &c.1

II. Moses in his Office and Function was a Type of Christ. (1.) He was appointed by God, and sent to deliver Israel out of Pharaoh's cruel Bondage: So Jesus Christ was appointed and sent to deliver all the Israel of God from the cruel Bondage of Satan, and heavy Oppression and Burden of Sin. (2.) Moses was sent to lead Israel towards Canaan: So Jesus Christ leads us to Heaven, the Anti-type of Canaan. But in this there is a Disparity: Moses led Israel but unto the Sight of the promised Land; but Jesus Christ leads us quite into Heaven, or the Land of Promise. (3.) Moses was learned in all the Learning of Egypt: Christ was learned to admiration; his Enemies cried out, From whence hath he all this Learning? (4.) Moses gave the Law, having first received it from the hand of God: So Jesus Christ hath given us the Law of the Gospel, as he received it from his Father. (5.) Moses was Mediator of the First Covenant, and as so considered, was both King, Priest, and Prophet: Jesus Christ is Mediator of the Second Covenant, and as so also both King, Priest, and Prophet. (6.) Moses wrought many mighty Miracles in Egypt, at the Red Sea, and in the Wilderness, to confirm the Law, and to show Israel that he was really sent of God: So Jesus Christ wrought many strange and wonderful Miracles, by Sea and Land, in Towns and Deserts, to manifest his Glory, to show he was snt of God, and to confirm his Doctrine. (7.) Moses instituted the Passover: So Christ, the true Moses, instituted the Supper.
