Q. Wherein was Melchisedec the type of Christ?

A. Melchisedec was a king, so is Christ the king of kings. Secondly, Melchisedec was a priest, so is Christ a Priest after the order of Melchisedec. Thirdly, hee was King of peace, so is Christ the Prince of peace. Fourthly, he was King of righteous∣nesse, so is Christ Iehouah our righteousnes. Fifthly, he was without father and mother, so is Christ, as God without a mother, as man without a father. Sixthly, as he was

without generation, so none can declare Christ his generation. Seauenthly, as he was without beginning, or end, so is Christ, be∣cause hee is the beginning and the end. Eightly, he was an extraordinarie Priest, not being in the line of Sem, so was Christ not being of the tribe of Leui. Ninthly, he was a greater priest then Aaron, and so was Christ. Tenthly, hee was not annointed with externall oyle, neither was Christ, but but with the oyle of gladnesse. Eleauenthly, hee refreshed Abraham with bread and wine; so hath Christ with his owne body, which is that bread of life that came downe from heauen. Twelfthly, he in his Priest∣hood had no successour, neither Christ, but hath an euerlasting Priesthood. Thirtenth, he blessed Abraham; and so hath Christ vs withall spirituall blessing. Fourteenth, he was made like to the Sonne of God, and Christ is the true and onely begotten Son of God. Fifteenth, he was king of Salem which is Ierusalem, so was Christ annointed king vpon the holy hill of Sion, which is Ierusalem. Sixteenth, he did not blesse A∣braham till he returned from the slaughter of his enemies, neither will Christ vs, till

we haue ouercome our spirituall enemies; Seauenteene, Melchisedec▪ did vse to sacri∣fice at Ierusalem, so did Christ sacrifice his blessed body on the crosse at Ierusalem.
