Canon VII. The Wicked, as such, are by no means to be made Types of Christ, &c.
THE Adultery of David, and what is related of the two Harlots, and the Incest of Amnon and Tamar were accommodated by certain Writers to Christ, as Azorius the Jesuit†, and Cornelius a Lapide*. But these are impious and groundless Conceits, as the most of the Learned affirm. Gretzer the Jesuite lib. 1. de Cruce cap. 6. affirms, that the Oak, in which Absalom did hang by the Hair of the Head, is a Figure or Type of the Cross of Christ; and that Absalom prefigured Christ. This Man is certainly a very daring and Non-sensical Type-maker, to make such an impious Typical Explication. For Absalom received just Punishment for his Rebellion against his Father, &c.
