Canon II. There is oftentimes more in the Type than in the Antitype.
Irenaeus lib. 2. chap. 40. says thus: A Type and Image (of a Thing) is sometimes different from the Truth, according to its Materiality and Substance: But according to the Habit and Lineament it ought to keep a Similitude, and to show by Things present, Things which are not present. The Reason of the Canon you have Art. 6. God designed one Person or Thing in the Old Testament to be a Type or shadow of Things to come, not in all Things, but with respect to some particular Thing, or Things only; hence we find many Things in the Type, which are not to be applied to the Antitype (which it typifies in some certain Thing only, not in all) especially the Failings and Sins of the Saints of the Old Testament, who did typify Christ, are by no means, neither ought they to be attributed to the most holy and unspotted Jesus. For as a Picture may represent all the Lineaments of the Party pictured exactly, although there may be some accidental Spot in it, that is not in the Person. So the Life of the Saints may be a Type and Image of Christ, although they are liable to Frailties and Infirmities incident to humane Nature, which are no Representations of any thing in Christ. The Use of this Canon is shown in the Epistle to the Hebrews, where the Priesthood and ritual Sacrifices of the Old Testament are fairly accommodated to Christ the Antitype, yet that there were many Things in that Priesthood, which do not quadrate; as that the Priest was to sacrifice for his own Sins, Chap. 5.3. which does not quadrate with Christ, Chap. 7.27. that Priesthood was [Greek or Hebrew], weak and unprofitable, Chap. 7.18. and there were many Priests, neither of which can be applied to Christ, who made all perfect and unchangeable, Chap. 7.24, 25.

For as a Picture may represent all the Lineaments of the Party pictur'd exactly, altho there may be some accidental Spot in it, that is not in the Person. So the Life of the Saints may be a Type and Image of Christ, altho they are lyable to Frailties and Infirmities incident to humane Nature, which are no Representations of any thing in Christ.
