1Visions of the first sort are to be also differenced, forasmuch as the Interpretation of the Vision is taken either from the thing it self, or from its Appellations or Terms, and so it is by an allusive Reason.

Of the first sort are the Visions of Jeremiah, Chap. 24. of the two Baskets of Figs, good and bad; by the good Figs, the Restoration of the Jewish and Christian Church which was to come, is prefigured; and by the bad Figs, the carrying away of Zedekiah and the People of Israel into Captivity, is also prefigured, as it is expounded in the fifth and the following Verses.

1The 8, 9, 10, and 11, Chapters of Ezekiel agree in the Description of the same Vision of the Prophet, which had four parts; the first part of the Vision obumbrates the Wickedness of the Jews which remained at Jerusalem, Chap. 8. The second figures out the Destruction of the Citizens in the very City, except those whom God had marked, as Chap. 9. The third prefigures the Fire, by which is denoted the flaming Anger and Indignation of the Lord, who by Plague and Famine afflicted the Inhabitants before the taking of the City, and after its taking, utterly burnt and destroyed the whole City, with the Temple; and hence the Glory of the Lord departed, as Chap. 10. The last denotes the Persecution and Ruin of those that escaped the Burning and Destruction of the City, as Chap. 11. So Chap. 37. ver. 1. and the following Verses, there is a Vision of Bones made alive again, and reduced to their former State, by the Immission of the Spirit; by which the Restitution of the Jews, and the Deliverance of the Universal Church, its Resurrection from Death, and its eternal Glory is adumbrated or shadowed forth, as appears ver. 11, & 23. with the Verses immediately following both places. The Vision in the 8th of Daniel, of the two horned Ram, and of the He-Goat with one horn, is expounded by Gabriel, ver. 19. to relate to the Kings of Media, Persia, and Greece, &c.
