Canon I.
IN Prophetical Types we must exactly take notice where Christ manifests himself with respect to his Office and Merit; and where he sets forth other Divine Things, as Judgments, and Blessings.
The Reason of the Canon is; Because the Son of God, before the Fullness of Time was come, Gal. 4.4. did at sundry Times, and in divers Manners ([Greek or Hebrew]) adumbrated and made himself manifest, with his Merit and Passion, to the Fathers and Prophets of the Old Testament, partly by plain Promises, and partly by Typical Visions, and thus he rejoiced in the habitable Parts of the Earth, Prov. 8.31. In which respect he is said to be a Lamb slain from the Foundation of the ⟨p. 32⟩[…] ⟨p. 41⟩[…] ⟨p. 42⟩World, Rev. 13.8. For the general Understanding of these Types, the Learned give this Rule: Whatsoever Text of the Old Testament treats of the Grace of God, of Propitiation, Redemption, Benediction, and Destruction of Enemies, so that the Light and Explication of it may be found in the New Testament, or that the Circumstances and Emphasis of the Words themselves discover it; that Text is to be expounded of Christ, together with his Merit and Passion.
