II. Synonymous Terms, (1.) The word Typos used by the Seventy, answers to [Greek or Hebrew], Exod. 25.40. and [Greek or Hebrew] Amos 5.26. but neither of these concern us in this place: yet we may refer to this that general Appellation, [Greek or Hebrew] (Mashal) which denotes a Similitude, or the Comparison of one thing to another: Also a Parable, Proverb, Axiom, dark or figurative Speech: See Ezek. 24.3. In the Arabic Tongue we meet with the word [Greek or Hebrew] (Schibh) which denotes a Similitude, Type, or Parable, from [Greek or Hebrew], he was like, &c. (2.) From Greek Writers, as well Canonical, as Ecclesiastical, we may mention some Synonymous Appellations; as from the New-Testament, we find that the Types of things to come are called, (1.) [Greek or Hebrew], a shadow of things to come, Heb. 8.5. [Greek or Hebrew], shadow of heavenly things, and Heb. 10.1. [Greek or Hebrew], the shadow of good things to come; because Christ, with his Blessings and Works performed for the Salvation of Mankind, was proposed to the Godly in an obscure Way, or a shadowy Description of his Lineaments in the Old-Testament. Hence some think that Rom. 13.12. the Old-Testament is represented by Night (or Darkness) and the New-Testament by Day (or face to face.) (2.) [Greek or Hebrew], an Example or Pattern; the Priests of the Old-Testament are called* [Greek or Hebrew], to serve to those things (that is to be exercised in those parts of Divine Worship) which were Types and Figures of things to be expected in the New; here there may be an Ellipsis of the Preposition [Greek or Hebrew], and so the sense is, that their Priesthood or Ministry expired [Greek or Hebrew] in the Exemplar or Shadow of heavenly things, because by their Priesthood, the Celestial and Spiritual Priesthood of Christ was prefigured as in Types; the like Appellation we have
