AS
in
the
Creation
darknes
went
before
light
,
or
as
the
dawning
precedes
the
brightnesse
of
the
day
,
&
as
obscurely
at
first
behaued
himselfe
vnto
his
Brethren
,
and
couered
with
a
vaile
stood
before
the
people
:
Euen
so
in
the
detection
of
the
glorious
worke
of
mans
Redemption
,
mysticall
promises
went
before
mercifull
performance
,
darke
shaddowes
were
the
fore-runners
of
that
bright
substance
,
obscure
types
were
harbingers
to
that
glorious
Anti-type
the
Messiah
,
who
was
comming
after
,
and
Law
with
its
figuratiue
and
vailed
Ceremonies
,
was
the
viue
resemblance
,
painting
and
pointing
out
that
cleere
Lampe
and
Lambe
of
God
,
the
expresse
Image
and
ingrauen
Character
of
the
Father
:
So
that
as
folded
in
swaddling
clouts
,
and
lying
in
a
Crib
,
hee
was
seene
and
shewne
vnto
the
Wise-men
that
came
from
the
East
;
so
inuolued
in
typicall
ordinances
,
and
lurking
vnder
shaddowish
signes
,
hee
was
offered
and
exhibited
vnto
the
Iewes
that
saw
his
day
but
afarre
off
;
the
eclipsed
and
dimme
light
of
the
Moone
(
as
it
were
)
as
yet
onely
glimmering
,
or
the
twinkling
brightnesse
of
starry
Lamps
as
yet
onely
dazedly
glistering
:
Vntill
the
true
that
glorious
Sunne
himselfe
did
arise
in
the
Horizon
of
our
humanitie
,
dispersing
the
beames
of
his
bounty
,
and
manifesting
himselfe
to
be
that
onely
light
of
the
world
,
promised
to
them
that
sit
in
the
Region
of
darknesse
,
for
comfort
and
illumination
,
and
to
the
ioy
of
all
in
heauen
and
earth
,
the
Lambe
himselfe
onely
opening
that
sealed
Booke
,
and
vnfolding
the
truth
of
former
hid
mysteries
.
Then
that
Ladder
of
Heauen
,
and
Leader
to
glory
,
was
more
brightly
seene
,
then
saw
the
same
formerly
in
a
dreame
.
Then
that
true
Tree
of
Life
planted
in
the
earth
of
our
nature
,
was
plainly
viewed
without
the
limits
of
that
heauenly
Paradise
.
Then
that
heauenly
Manna
which
the
Father
gaue
from
aboue
,
most
aboundantly
offered
it selfe
,
vnto
the
refreshment
of
all
hungring
Israelites
.
And
that
blessed
Rock
from
Citie
to
Citie
,
and
place
to
place
following
them
,
most
cleerely
gushed
out
the
comfortable
waters
of
Life
,
for
euery
one
to
drinke
,
and
neuer
to
thirst
after
.
Then
the
true
curing
Serpent
was
graciously
re-erected
on
high
for
all
men
to
behold
with
the
eye
of
Faith
,
and
then
all
the
Mosaicall
sacrifices
,
and
rudimentall
Rites
,
which
like
the
pointed
out
to
bee
that
Lambe
of
God
that
takes
away
the
sinnes
of
the
world
,
vnfolded
themselues
in
their
former
darke
shaddowish
signification
,
and
while
they
remained
in
vigour
,
albeit
(
like
before
his
sonnes
birth
)
they
were
dumbe
and
obscure
signers
,
yet
ceasing
,
and
in
their
departure
(
the
substantiall
body
filling
vp
the
roome
)
with
their
eternall
farewell
,
opening
their
mouth
as
it
were
,
they
said
that
which
before
they
signed
,
and
gaue
a
heartie
congratulation
and
welcome
to
their
accomplishing
verity
,
as
night
giues
place
to
day
thus
yeelding
to
a
more
excellent
High
Priest
;
and
the
bondwoman
,
vnto
her
free
Dame
Herein
how
Euangelicall
light
hath
discouered
the
meaning
of
Legall
obscuritie
;
and
how
Bells
sounded
neuer
but
Christ
Iesus
and
him
Crucified
;
nor
his
siluer
Trumpets
,
but
the
ioyfull
Iubile
of
soules
freedome
;
his
many
sacrifices
pointing
out
that
one
all-sufficient
:
And
how
the
successiue
diuersitie
of
types
of
sundry
things
,
places
,
persons
,
and
actions
,
&c.
from

couchedly
involued

conueyed

the
blessed

deepe
secret
of
the
abysse
of
vnsearchable
loue
to
mankinde
,
and
extense
of
mercy
past
comprehending
,
as
by
secret
water-spouts
from

to

for

of
the
vigorous
hope
of

faithfull

who
with
longed

the
Saluation
of
the
Lord
Herein
,
I
say
,
the
paines
that
I
haue
taken
,
is
briefely
(
for
the
case
of
the
Reader
)
to
point
onely
(
as
it
were
)
at
the
same
in
order
as
they
occurre
in
Scripture
,
ioyning
with
succinct
breuity
to
auoid
tediousnes
,
as
great
plainnesse
and
perspicuitie
as
I
could
,
to
auoid
obscurenesse
.
And
comparing
some
things
for
conueniencie
of
case
onely
(
which
prettily
may
be
so
compared
)
wherein
I
acknowledge
in
the
purpose
of
the
Holy
Ghost
a
typicall
resemblance
euer
,
of
any
answerable
verity
is
not
to
be
sought
.
And
keeping
still
in
all
(
I
hope
)
the
Analogy
of
faith
,
as
the
right
measure
of
the
Temple
,
the
patterne
on
the
Mount
,
and

Ballance

THe
Lord
,
who
is
the
God
of
order
,
abhorring
confusion
,
hath
by
degrees
of
light
,
from
time
to
time
manifested
that
hid
treasure
of
his
mercy
,
and
our
comfort
,
fore-shaddowing
first
by
Types
,
then
fore-shewing
by
Prophecies
,
and
at
last
pointing
more
cleerely
and
particularly
at
that
Lambe
of
God
,
by
the
his
fore-runner
.
So
that
each
age
and
manner
of
Reuelation
hath
had
still
the
cleerer
Demonstration
of
the
who
was
approching
:
Euen
as
the
earth
more
and
more
is
illuminate
,
the
neerer
the
Sunnes
arising
vpon
our
Horizon
is
at
hand
:
like
who
first
opened
the
window
of
the
Arke
wherein
he
was
,
then
remooued
the
couering
thereof
,
and
at
last
stept
forth
himselfe
.
This
is
the
Ladder
which
saw
comming
thus
downe
from
Heauen
,
by
the
seuerall
degrees
of
cleerer
and
neerer
manifestation
;
and
the
Starry
fore-guiding
light
,
leading
at
last
to
the
place
where
the
Babe
was
,
but
there
standing
and
vanishing
without
further
progresse
.
So
that
it
is
a
maruell
how
that
the
Vaile
so
long
should
be
vpon
the
eyes
of
or
the
Kall
of
induration
vpon
the
heart
of
but
that
euen
when
hee
came
,
marking
euery
plain
Prophesie
,
that
was
foretold
of
him
,
and
seeing
the
fulfilling
of
the
same
in
his
Person
,
they
might
haue
knowne
their
King
.
conuocates
all
the
Ecclesiasticall
sort
,
and
askes
where
he
should
be
borne
;
and
they
answere
,
At
For
so
it
was
written
,
there
they
saw
his
Humilitie
at
his
first
entrance
into
the
world
:
and
why
then
trusted
they
not
likewise
their
owne
quotation
,
and
embraced
their
Lord
?
Let
them
peruse
in
like
maner
,
the
rest
of
these
Prophecies
that
are
spoken
of
him
,
(
according
to
the
particulars
of
the
Treatise
following
)
and
(
laying
aside
their
stiffe-neckednes
,
of
old
vpbraided
vnto
them
)
truely
apply
,
and
they
shall
beforced
to
come
to
that
conclusion
of
that
it
is
euident
by
Scripture
,
That
all
those
things
spoken
of
the
agreeing
to
him
alone
,
and
being
applyable
to
no
other
besides
.
The
humble
abasement
of
this
lowly
Lord
,
comming
in
the
shape
of
a
Seruant
,
and
dying
so
ignominious
a
death
for
mankinde
,
beeing
the
cause
of
this
stumbling
of
theirs
,
they
expecting
a
worldly
glorious
King
,
and
a
corporall
Deliuerance
.
Therefore
foreseeing
their
incredulity
for
this
cause
,
cryes
out
,
And
holy
pronounceth
him
to
be
appointed
for
the
rising
&
fall
of
many
in
and
for
a
signe
which
should
bee
spoken
against
;
the
wise
Economie
of
the
Lords
grace
beeing
herein
manifested
,
that
by
the
reiection
for
a
time
,
the
fulnesse
of
the
Gentiles
might
bee
accomplished
,
all
men
might
taste
of
grace
,
&
the
ends
of
the
earth
might
be
his
Sonnes
possession
.
But
would
they
enter
within
the
Vayle
,
and
behold
what
glory
of
the
is
vnder
the
base
outward
couering
of
the
Arke
,
and
by
a
holy
consideration
digge
within
the
earth
of
his
humanitie
,
and
they
should
finde
the
glorious
Pearle
and
treasure
of
the
incomprehensible
Deity
,
manifesting
it selfe
in
his
life
,
in
matchlesse
miracles
,
possible
onely
to
that
nature
to
performe
;
so
that
the
simple
people
are
forced
to
confesse
,
that
none
could
do
such
things
,
except
discouering
it selfe
also
in
his
death
by
fearefull
wonders
:
so
that
the
Centurion
proclaimes
,
and
after
his
glorious
Resurrection
and
Ascension
,
notwithstanding
the
mightiest
opposition
of
the
world
,
and
Prince
thereof
,
by
strait
Lawes
,
close
imprisonments
,
cruel
torments
,
farre
exilements
,
and
sundry
sorts
of
death
;
yet
this
crucified
Iesus
,
by
a
few
Fishermen
,
whom
he
made
Fishers
of
men
,
subdued
the
world
in
short
space
to
himselfe
,
making
Emperours
to
lay
downe
their
crownes
at
his
feet
,
who
was
crowned
with
Thornes
,
their
Scepters
to
sway
to
the
aduancement
of
his
Kingdome
,
in
whose
hand
a
Reed
,
for
a
Scepter
,
was
sometimes
mockingly
put
;
their
Empires
,
Oracles
,
Idols
,
and
former
Heathenish
worship
,
like
Dagon
falne
before
the
Arke
,
lying
ouerthrowne
,
striken
dumbe
,
broken
in
pieces
,
and
(
as
prostrate
at
the
foot
of
his
Crosse
,
by
ignorance
(
as
the
world
accounted
)
subduing
learning
,
by
simplicitie
,
wisedome
;
by
humilitie
,
pride
;
by
weakenesse
,
power
,
by
meeknesse
,
cruelty
;
by
suffering
,
obtaining
victory
;
and
by
shame
,
attaining
to
glory
,
the
most
glorious
and
most
mighty
Kingdomes
which
wee
see
,
beeing
but
small
pieces
of
their
Conquests
,
and
Monuments
of
their
Trophe
.
What
a
death
then
is
this
,
that
hath
done
such
things
〈◊〉
all
the
liuing
could
not
doe
?
What
matchlesse
power
is
this
that
hath
wrought
such
incredible
things
by
weaknesse
,
by
contempt
,
by
the
folly
of
preaching
?
What
base
meanes
is
this
to
bring
down
highest
▪
Powers
,
Principalities
,
Thrones
and
Dominions
?
And
how
comes
it
to
passe
,
that
these
conquerors
at
last
glorie
to
dye
for
him
,
who
dyed
such
a
cursed
,
and
shamefull
death
,
but
that
they
know
hee
liueth
and
reigneth
for
euer
?
and
thereby
they
(
hauing
liued
heere
by
grace
in
him
,
and
dyed
witnessing
for
him
)
should
bee
brought
to
liue
and
reigne
in
glory
eternally
with
him
?
But
our
hope
(
according
to
the
promise
)
is
,
that
the
Vaile
at
last
will
be
taken
from
their
eyes
,
and
shall
be
found
in
one
Tent
:
the
Lord
will
powre
wpon
the
House
of
and
vpon
the
Inhabitants
of
Ierusalem
,
the
Spirit
of
grace
and
of
compassion
,
and
they
shall
looke
on
him
whom
they
haue
pearced
.
These
paines
,
Sir
,
that
I
haue
taken
herein
,
I
haue
dedicate
to
your
Name
,
as
a
testimony
of
my
more
then
deserued
duty
and
affection
to
you
,
which
I
shall
thinke
my selfe
euer
bound
to
owe
,
for
your
manifold
courtesies
,
whereof
at
your
last
being
in
your
owne
natiue
Countrey
,
I
had
sufficient
proofe
;
especially
,
not
onely
in
that
accesse
of
LEVI
to
his
Sacred
by
your
meanes
,
and
your
vnmerited
speeches
there-anent
:
but
likewise
in
that
Royall
gracing
of
the
same
which
thereafter
ensued
,
and
of
the
Author
(
though
vnworthy
)
thereof
.
The
experience
therefore
of
your
modest
,
humane
,
and
most
gentle
inclination
,
assures
mee
at
this
time
,
of
your
owne
courteous
and
kind
acceptation
of
