A95869	Christ and the Church: or Parallels, in three books. In the first ye have the harmony between Christ and the foregoing types, by which he was fore-shadowed in the Old Testament, both persons and things. In the second the agreement between Christ and other things, to which he is compared in the holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testament. In the third the agreement between the Church and the types, by which it was foreshadowed in the Old Testament; and other resemblances, by which it is set forth in the holy Scriptures.

that_o the_o good_a shall_v be_v separate_v from_o the_o bad_a not_o in_o place_n but_o in_o affection_n although_o in_o regard_n of_o bodily_a presence_n they_o converse_v together_o in_o the_o
