Fuftin Martyr and Cyprian, p. 405, 406, 4071 and Chryfoftom on Mat. i, and Cyril of Alexandria and Bafil treat him as a figure. Eufebius in Eccl. Hift. B. I. c. ii, fays, "the name JESUS was “of old honoured among the prophets,—MOSES, "when he delivered types and symbols of heaven"ly things, agreeable to Ex. xxv. 40. and, "when infpired by THE HOLY GHOST, hẻ "had well foreseen the name of JESUS, judged "again the same worthy of fingular prerogative. "For this name JESUS, which before MOSES'S "time had never been named among men, "MOSES gave to him firft; and to him "alone, who he knew very well by type "again and figurative fign was to receive the "universal principality after his death; because "that fame JESUS bore the figure of our SA"VIOR, who alone after MOSES and the "accomplishment of the figurative service deliver"ed by him, was to fucceed in the govern "ment of the true and moft pure religion." Ruffinus, to what is cited p. 38 adds, " and "this perfon was called JESUS, who led the "people out of the darkness of ignorance and "reclaimed from their wandrings in the world

into the kingdom of heaven." Ferom fays in his epifle to Paulinus, and to Nepotianus, JESUS of NAVE [NUN] holds forth to us" a type of "THE LORD, not only in his actions, but in *his name;"Cyril of JeRUSALEM often calls

him

him the typic JESUS, and CHRIST " the true or "real JESUS." (See p. 38.) So Ambrofe, Austin in Serm. 106 de temporibus, and on Pf. lxxxvi, and Origen in Hom. 9, long before speaks of "the "LORD JESUS as fhadowed out in the son of "NUN;" and in Hom. 2, of "the name as the "facrament" or "fign of CHRIST:" also Clemens of Alexandria. In latter times Rupert, above Cornelius Mafius, Drufius, Cato in p. a Lapide. Honert. Inftitut. Theolog. Typica. The Gen. Bible on Heb. iv. 8, has, “fo was Jo"SHUA a figure of CHRIST;" and in the argument of the book of Jos HuA, "This hiftory "doeth reprefent JESUS CHRIST, the true Jo"SHUA, &c." Broughton fays he was so called to make him a plainer figure of the son of GoD p. 656, Andrews, Hall, & al. Grotius on Mat. i. fays, JeнOSHUA, "as the fucceffor of MOSES "and the leader of the people into the land " of promise, shadowed out CHRIST, the giver "of eternal reft, not only in the found of his

be

name, but also in his deeds; as may pro"ved from Acts vii. 45, and Heb. iv. 8." Prideaux, Ainsworth, Stanhope, Burket, Henry, and many others, whom it would be tedious to rehearfe, affirm what the name implies, that this person was a figure, fhining out illuftriously, as CHRIST was to do, in the land, and exhibited to the GENTILES, as well as to ISRAEL, that they might believe his divine commiffion, reO

turn

turn to HIM, whose name he bore, and be faved from wrath; also that they might have that idea they could not otherwife have had, of His like actions and paffion.

Nor could any thing more directly point out JeнOSHUA to be fuch than calling him by this predetermined name of the PERSON he reprefented, by manifefting by miracles, as well as words, that He was thus WITH him. Both thefe GOD therefore did. For, to fhew briefly how he was this, 'till they should either forget the meaning of the name of this other MOSES, as the JEWS ftyle him, who, though not of LEVI, was thus united with ELEAZER the high-prieft, was the fervant of MOSES, was his heaven-commiffioned fucceffor the leader of the uncircumcifed, but baptized people in the flesh, and the minister of a new circumcifion; who thus vanquished principalities, obtained the forfeit manfions, fettled them in reft, and celebrated the JUBILEE in it; or fhould be fo infatuated as not to perceive that, being not really what his name fignified, he could only be fo in a figure, 'till then, I fay, they muft needs have confidered him as the lively pourtrait of the like PRINCE and SAVIOR, AЯs v. 31, the PRINCE of kings, Rev. i. 15, of life, c. iii. 15; of the like but great PROPHET, ver. 22. vi. 37. that should come into the world; of another JESUS, who, though not of LEVI any more than he, fhould nevertheless be united with

the

the true [ELEAZER] GOD THE HELPER, the true HIGH-PRIEST, and have the SENT PERSON called THE NAME IN him; fhould alike take upon HIM the form of a fervant to Moses, Phil. ii. 7. and come out of EGYPT, Matt.ii.15; be alike rejected of them, Joh. c. xiv. I, though alike innocent; have His report alike difcredited and himself suffer like reproach, vr. 10, yet be a like fucceffor to MOSES; have a like baptism in JORDAN, Matt, iii. 12. and as JeHovaн, though a MAN of war, Ex, xv, 3, should fave and lead a like multitude of men, women and children, baptized as once in the sea, c. xiv, 29, I Cor. x. 2, in order to their admission into the like promifed ftate, Mat. xxviii. 19, Mar. vi. 16, though uncircumcifed in the flesh, Jo. c. v. 2, Epb. ii. 11. Cal. ii. 11; but to be a like minister of circumcifion (as CHRIST is called with reference to this) in this state of promised grace, of a like [ SeNIT] new or fecond one, even that of the heart, Rom. ii. 29. with the like STONE of ISRAEL, the head of the corner, Gen. xlix. 24. Pf. cxviii. who fhould have therefore a like manifeftation of the LORD as Man in his flesh, Jo. v. 13, 2 Cor. v. 19. 1 Tim. iii. 16, break down a like body of fin, Fof. vi. Col. ii. 11. Eph. ii. 14. undergo a like humiliation for offence not his own, Jof. vii. 6. 2 Cor. v. 21. Phil. ii. 8. have the kings of the earth ftand up alike against HIM, Pf. ii. 1. As iv. 26. in the courfe of His feeking

Luk. i. 73. the falvation of such as fought to the NAME Jehovah with him, and to be faved from wrath through HIM:- who should in His perfon more wonderously station and make to ftand ftill, or [ DeM] dumb, (as a sheep before her shearers, Pf. xxxviii. 13, I. liii. 7.) the like but immortal SUN of righteousness, Jof. x. 12, Mal. iv. 2, the LIGHT of the world, Joh. viii. 12. as well as the moon-like nature of His Pf.lxxxix. 37, which His GLORY fhould alike shine forth in, Joh. ii. 11. 'till the destruction of the like enmity fhould be accomplished, fof. x. 13, Eph. ii. 15; who should spoil like principalities and powers, make a like shew of them openly, hanging them on a like tree, Jof. x. Col. ii. 15, fhould ftop every tongue of condemnation or accufation against His redeemed people, Jof. x. 21. Joh. iii. 18.
