3. [Greek or Hebrew] a Sign, Mat. 12.39. where Christ applies the three days stay of Jonah in the Whales Belly, as a Type of himself, [Greek or Hebrew], the Sign of the Prophet Jonah. Here Christ accommodates his Speech to the words of the Scribes and Pharisees, who asked a Sign of him; otherwise a Sign and a Type differ in Signification, the one being of a larger, the other of a narrower Signification: Every Type is a Sign, but every Sign is not a Type: Every Sign may represent the thing signified although unlike; but the condition of a Type, is that it must bear a Parity, Proportion, or Likeness to the thing typified.
3. 〈non-Latin alphabet〉 a Sign, Mat. 12.39. where Christ applies the three days stay of Jonas in the Whales Belly, as a Type of himself, 〈non-Latin alphabet〉, the Sign of the Prophet Jonas. Here Christ accommodates his Speech to the words of the Scribes and Pharisees, who asked a Sign of him; otherwise a Sign and a Type differ in Signification, the one being of a larger, the other of a narrower Signification: Every Type is a Sign, but every Sign is not a Type: Every Sign may represent the thing signified altho unlike; but the condition of a Type, is that it must bear a Parity, Proportion, or Likeness to the thing typified.
4. [Greek or Hebrew], a Parable, Heb. 9.9. which Term in the Hebrew Books of the Old-Testament frequently answers the word [Greek or Hebrew], but is put in this place for such typical or prefigurative Things, and Actions, as are related in the Old-Testament: So Heb. 11.19. the Phrase of Abraham's receiving his Son in a Figure, (which Son was by him adjudged as good as dead) [Greek or Hebrew] in a Parable or Similitude, is well expounded, that he was a Type or Similitude of Christ. In Ecclesiastical Writers we meet with the same Appellations, or such as are very near, only we are to take notice, (1.) That they confound the Allegory with the Type frequently: So Augustine Tom. 1. oper. lib. de vera Relig. cap. 56. says, an Allegory (under which Term undoubtedly he comprehended Types) is fourfold, viz. respecting History, Fact, Preaching, and Sacraments. (2.) Gregory Nazianzen puts the Antitype for the Type, Orat. 42. [Greek or Hebrew], Pag. 692. his words are, [Greek or Hebrew]; that is, Yet really the Brazen Serpent was not hanged up to prevent the biting of Serpents, nor yet as a Type of Christ, who suffered for us, but as an Antitype. (3.) In the Latin Tongue the words Exemplar, Figura, Praefiguratio, are much used, that is, a Pattern, Figure, or representing a thing to come. But the word Type was most usual to denote Privileges to come, by the donation of Patents to such as were Denizens of the City of Rome, when it was Imperial.
