we_o shall_v have_v a_o thousand_o sacrament_n so_o rider_n on_o white_a horse_n be_v resemblance_n use_v in_o scripture_n to_o set_v out_o christ_n and_o the_o angel_n but_o yet_o not_o proper_o

only_o occasional_o make_v use_n of_o there_o be_v a_o wide_a difference_n between_o the_o occasional_a use_n of_o a_o thing_n in_o the_o way_n of_o a_o similitude_n or_o comparison_n and_o the_o designment_n or_o institution_n of_o it_o for_o that_o end_n and_o use_v as_o if_o christ_n be_v compare_v to_o a_o feast_n of_o bread_n and_o wine_n as_o in_o the_o parable_n of_o the_o

type_n and_o a_o parable_n a_o parable_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o a_o sacred_a similitude_n we_o common_o take_v it_o as_o the_o scripture_n do_v for_o such_o a_o similitude_n wherein_z not_o only_o the_o truth_n and_o mind_n of_o god_n be_v the_o scope_n and_o matter_n of_o it_o but_o whereof_o god_n himself_o be_v the_o author_n as_o in_o the_o four_o evangelist_n we_o read_v of_o the_o

but_o set_v such_o a_o thing_n apart_o set_v a_o stamp_n of_o institution_n upon_o it_o and_o so_o make_v it_o a_o ordinance_n to_o hold_v forth_o christ_n and_o his_o benefit_n 3._o what_o be_v the_o

therefore_o jacob_n and_o joseph_n must_v needs_o be_v bury_v there_o therefore_o the_o apostle_n assure_v we_o they_o do_v seek_v a_o better_a country_n they_o profess_v themselves_o stranger_n and_o
