Article III. Of Prophetical Types, and Typical and Symbolical Actions.
Prophetical Types are such, whereby the Prophets who were divinely inspired by External Symbols, figured or signified things present, or to come, in their Speeches, or Writings, either by way of Warning, Admonition, or Prophecy. This must be considered, (1.) with respect to Actions. (2.) Visions.

1. Prophetical Actions are typical, when some thing mystical and hidden, is adumbrated or shadowed by those things which the Prophets by Divine Command acted; as for Instance; Esa. 20.2.1 The Prophet goes out naked; (that is, without his Prophetical Garments) to prefigure the fatal Destruction of the Egyptians and Ethiopians: Jer. 13.1.2 and the following Verses, the Prophet by Divine Command gets himself a linen Girdle, puts it upon his Loins, hides it in a Rock by Euphrates, afterwards takes it from thence, but 'tis putrefied, or marred, or rotten: By which Type the Blessings God gave the People, their Ingratitude and Wickedness, and the Destruction that was to come upon them, are prefigured, as by the Context appears. Chap. 16.2, 5. There is a Command to abstain from Matrimony, Procreation of Children, mourning Feasts for the Dead: By which Type God denounces most woeful Calamities which were to come upon his People for their Sins: See Chap. 18.2, 3, &c. ver. 6, & 11. And 19.12, 13. & 27.2. & 51.63.
