Canon III. There is oftentimes more in the Antitype than in the Type.
1Chrysostom, Homil. 61. on Gen. says: It is necessary that the Figure have less in it than the Truth, because otherwise it would not be a Figure of Things to come. The Reason of this Canon is the same with the foregoing. For since no one Type can express the Life and particular Actions of Christ, therefore there is altogether more in the Antitype, or other Thing adumbrated, than can be found in Types. And when we say that there is more in the Antitype than the Type, it is to be understood, not only with respect to the Thing, but also with respect to the Manner. Of this Moses and Joshua were Examples, each of which was a Type of Christ. ⟨p. 43⟩Moses typified Christ as a Redeemer, and Joshua typified him, as he brings his People to Heaven, their true Country. But the Manner varies in both Places, and in that respect there is much more in the Antitype than in the Type. In the Type there is only a bodily or humane Deliverance; in the Antitype an heavenly and a spiritual. In the Type there is only a simple or single Redemption; in the Antitype such a Redemption, as is made (intercedente [Greek or Hebrew]) by a redeeming Price, viz. the Blood of Christ, Rom. 3.24. The Redemption in the Type, and the Introduction into the Land of Canaan is made by Moses and Joshua, as by the Ministers of God, Heb. 3.5. In the Antitype our Redemption and Salvation is wrought by Christ, as (per [Greek or Hebrew]) by the principal Author or Cause of Salvation, Act. 3.15
