this saith Mr. Pool If a Man being sought after should hide himself in some Corner or Hole of the House and Pursuers should ask for him could any with a good Conscience say he is not here because he is invisible none sure but a Papist who is so well skilled in Equivocation would give such an Answer Our Saviour every where makes these two Opposites his being in the World and going to Heaven John 13.1 the Hour was come that he should depart out of this World unto the Father It seems they could have taught him the Art of going thither and remaining here at the same instant They have an excellent Faculty as he had who said Since he could not give content in going nor staying he would not go nor stay For they know how a Man may both go from a place and stay in it at the same time I know not what can be more plain if they did not wilfully shut their Eyes Christ saith expresly Me you have not always with you That is his bodily Presence for as touching his Divine Presence so he is always with his People unto the end of the World Mat. 28. ult Besides their Doctrine destroys the Truth of Christ's human Nature We read of Christ He was in all points like unto us Sin only excepted His Body was like ours and therefore impossible it should be in a thousand places at once which according to their Doctrine it is This turns Christ's Body into a Spirit nay indeed they make his Body more spiritual than a Spirit for a Spirit cannot be in several Places divided from it self The Soul of Man if it be entire both in the whole and in every part of the Body yet it is not divided from it self nor from its Body nor can it be in two Bodies at the same time as all confess mu●h less can it be in Ten Thousand Bodies at once When ever any Angel comes to Earth he leaves Heaven So that this quite destroys the Truth of Christ's human Body Object Much of what we say here the Papists say was true of Christ's Body in the days of his Infirmity but when he was risen from the Dead then he received a spiritual Body as it is said ours shall be at the Resurrection 1 Cor. 15. Answ This is but a Fig-leaf for they ascribe these monstrous Properties to Christ's Body before its Resurrection for they say the Flesh and Blood of Christ were really in the Sacrament which the Disciples received whilst Christ lived Secondly Christ's Resurrection tho it heightned the Perfection yet it did not alter the Nature and Properties of his Body nor gave it the being of a Spirit for after he was risen he proves that he was no Spirit by this Argument Handle me and see for a Spirit hath not Flesh and Blood as you see me have Luke 24.39 By this it appears that their Doctrine destroyeth the Truth of Christ's human Body at least it destroys the main Evidence of it against those who affirmed that Christ had only a phantastical Body namely that he was seen and felt and heard for the Papists say that Sense is not to be believed Again this Doctrine of theirs destroyeth the Truth of Christ's Ascension into Heaven for he is not ascended if he hath not left this World but is here in the Sacrament Nothing can be more clear than that Christ did visibly and locally leave this World when he went up into Heaven Acts 1.9 10. That being once there the Heavens must receive or contain him until the Time of the Restitution of all things Acts 3.21 And that at the last Day he shall come visibly and locally from Heaven 2 Thess 1.7 But that he should come down a thousand times in a day at the command of every Mass-Priest or that he should have such power to make the Body of his Saviour is such a Dream as the Scripture speaketh not one syllable of nor can any rational Man believe it Besides their Doctrine destroyeth the very Essence of a Sacrament which consists of two parts an outward Element or Sign and the inward Grace signified by it These things being well considered it is evident these Words This is my Body are to be taken figuratively i. e. This is a Sign of my Body or this is the Sacrament of my Body so that from the manner of the Words spoken by Christ there is no necessity to take them as the Papists do seeing it is so frequent with the Holy-Ghost to use Metaphors in this kind I need not name them considering it is the Subject of our present Work The seven Kine are seven Years the seven Ears of Corn are seven Years the Stars are the Angels of the seven Churches the seven Heads are seven Mountains c. Christ is called a Rock a Lamb a Lion a Door together with many other things which we have spoken unto See the Second Head of Metaphors Similies c. The Saints are called Sheep Branches c. ' The meaning of all this is saith Dr. Preston They are like such and such things But yet it is the manner of the Scripture-Speech Dr. Preston of the Saints Qualifications p. 487 and therefore saith he it is not necessary that those Words should be taken in a proper Sence as they are by the Papists Object But saith the worthy Doctor you will object Yea but in matter of this moment as a Sacrament the Lord speaks distinctly and expresly there he useth no Metaphor tho in other Cases he doth Answ 'To this saith he I answer briefly It is so far from being true that he useth them not in the Sacrament that there are none of all the Sacraments but it is used viz. in the Sacrament of Circumcision This is the Covenant c. In the Sacrament of the Passeover which were the Sacraments of the Old Law the Lamb is called the Passeover In this very Sacrament to go no further for instance take but the second part of it This is the Cup of the New Testament in my Blood Here are not one but divers Figures The Cup is taken for the Liquor in it the Wine in the Cup is taken for Christ's Blood This is the new Testament c. that is the Seal of the New Testament Here is Figure upon Figure saith Mr. Pool and yet the Papists have the Impudence to reproach us for putting in but one Figure which they confess the Holy-Ghost frequently maketh use of Wonder O Heavens and judg O Earth whether these Men do not strain at Gnats and swallow Camels c. This openeth a Way for us to our next Work which is to run the Parallel concerning those figurative and metaphorical Expressions of the Lord Jesus Christ used at the Institution of the holy Eucharist Mat. 26.26 Jesus took Bread and blessed it and brake it and gave to his Disciples and said Take eat this is my Body Metaphor Parallel CHrist took Bread after he had supped c. THis in

our Divines propose some Types of the Lord's Supper as the Tree of Life Tree of Life in the midst of Paradise Gen. 2.9 see Rev. 22.14 John 6.53 54 55. The Bread and Wine Brea● and Wine brought forth by Melchizedek and given to Abraham Gen. 14.18 19. The Paschal Lamb eaten yearly in 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 in Commemoration of the Deliverance of the Israelites from literal Egypt Exod. 12.27 with 1 Cor. 5.7 1.26 the Manna Manna Exod. 16.15 the Water that came out of the Rock Numb 20.11 the Blood of the Covenant Exod. 24.8 Heb. 9.20 the Shew-bread Exod. 25.30 the live Coal Isa 6.6 the Explication of which amongst other Types may be read in Gerhard tom 5. de sacr Euch. sect 12. The Types of the New Testament Church as learned Men say are Paradise Gen. 2.8 Noah's Ark Gen. 6.14 c. the Calling of Abraham Gen. 12.1 Joshua 24.2 See more Examples Exod. 26.1 Josh 2.18 6.23 Psal 87.1 Gal. 4.22 Mal. 3.3 Yet some of these are reputed Allegories rather than Types Types are either of Things or of Ceremonies the Types of Things done are when some Actions of holy Men in the Old Testament prefigured some Things done in the New Thus Abraham's offering his Son in Obedience to God's Command and Love to him typified God the Father delivering his Son to Death for the Love of Mankind Rom. 5.8 8.32 So Joseph's being sold into Egypt and afterwards advanced typified the Humiliation and Exaltation of Christ Phil. 2.6 c. Ceremonial Types are when the Ceremonies and whole Constitution of the Levitical Worship in the Old Testament prefigured Things in the New an evident Explication of which the Epistle to the Hebrews gives Article VII Canons or Rules expounding Types 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 Fulness of Time was come Gal. 4.4 did at sundry Times and in divers Manners 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 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 rejoyced 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 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 the●selves discover it that Text is to be expounded of Christ together with his Merit and Passion Gen. 28. Thus the Vision of Jacob's Ladder prefigures Christ the true Ladder by which the Saints ascend into Heaven as appears by the Circumstances of the Text which treats of the Propitiation of God his Divine Protection and his Blessings upon the faithful Posterity of Believers Besides Christ applies this to himself John 1.51 Isa 63. ● Isa 63.1 2 3 4 5 6. There is a Prophetical Colloquy which respects not only Christ but also his most bitter Passion and most glorious Victory for 1 the Text discourses of the Propitiation of God the Redemption of Men and the Destruction of Enemies 2 The three foregoing Chapters expresly treat of the Merits and Blessings of Christ 3 'T is expounded of Christ Rev. 19.11 13 15. 4 The Circumstances of the Text and the Emphasis of the Words clearly evidence i● to be as before expounded of which more in another Place 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 shew 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 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 The Use of this Canon is shewn 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 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 weak and unprofitable Chap. 7.18 and there were many Priests neither of which can be apply'd to Christ who made all perfect and unchangeable Chap. 7.24 25. Canon III. There is oftentimes more in the Antitype than in the Type Oportet Figuram minus habere quam Veritatem quia c. CHrysostom 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 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
