Article V. Of an Historical Type, and its first Division.
AN Historical Type is the mystical Sense of Scripture, whereby things acted or done in the Old Testament, (especially what respected the Priesthood and Worship of the Jews) prefigured and adumbrated things acted in the New Testament-times, with respect especially to Christ the Antitype, who is, as it were, the Kernel enclosed in all those Shells of Old-Testament-Ceremonies, Types or Actions, &c.

This may be thus distinguished, (1.) that like an Allegory, it is either innate, (or natural) or inferred. The Innate is that which is expressly delivered in the Scriptures, or when the Scripture it self shows or intimates, that some Ceremony, or thing transacted, does adumbrate the things related or done in the New-Testament, ⟨p. 32⟩especially Christ in a mystical sense. This is done, either expressly and implicitly, or tacitly and implicitly; or, which is all one, the Scripture either shows it expressly, or tacitly insinuates the thing transacted to be a Type of Christ: Of the first kind we have many Examples.
