Canon IV. There must be a fit Application of the Type to the Antitype.
This Application, besides other Things, (if it be inferred) comprehends this also, that there may be a Comparison made betwixt the Type and the Antitype, as far as the Scripture and the Analogy of Faith will bear it. Here Bellarmine falters egregiously, lib. 1. de Missa, cap. 9. where going about to prove that there is a true Sacrifice offered in their Mass, he wrests the Type in the Old Testament, Gen. 14. in the History of Melchizedek. For whereas this is a Figure of Christ in a peculiar respect, Psal. 110.4. Heb. 7.17. and that he truly sacrificed Bread and Wine, Gen. 14.18. he concludes it necessary, that Christ also sacrifice Bread and Wine, &c. But besides this, that Articles of Faith are not to be proved by Typical Accommodations, (if not in the Scriptures, as this is not) but by certain and illustrious Evidences of Scriptures, which Bellarmine *himself grants. We will encounter this Papistical Quibble, and affirm, that this Application of the Type to the Antitype is not only in the least little consonant to Scripture, (For the Parallel is quite otherwise proposed, Heb. 7.) but quite contrary to it, and a Disparagement to, if not a jostling out the only Sacrifice of Christ and his everlasting Priesthood.
