The typicall signification of Isaac.

THe name of Isaac is deriued from laughter: for Zakah in Hebrew is as much as quod risit is in Latine, which signifi∣eth that he laughed; and from hence Zechock signifies a Laughter, and Isaac, mirth, or one that reioyceth with mirth. This name was giuen to him by God before his natiuitie, Gen. 17.18. There were seuen that were named by God before their natiuitie, viz. Ishmael Gen. 16. Isaac, Gen. 17. Cores or Cyrus King of the Persians, Esa 44. Sampson, Iudg. 13. Iosia King of Iuda, 1. Kings 13. Iohn Baptist, and Iesus Christ the sonne of God, Luke 1. of whom Isaae was a nota∣ble type. For Christ is our true rejoicing, the laughter, mirth, and delight of the whole Church of God. Abraham vpon the day of the natiuitie of Isaac made a great feast, to which, no doubt, he cal∣led many godly men, and perhaps some of the Patriarchs: for there was then liuing Sarag, Arphaxad, Salah, Heber, Thamar, and Sem, the sonne of Noah, who also had a certaine knowledge of Gods promise to Abraham, and that of the seed of Isaac should come the Sauiour of the world.

And as Abraham when hee would haue offered his sonne vnto the Lord, carried the fire and the sword; but Isaac the wood vp∣on which he should be slaine and burned (O miserable sight, espe∣cially to a father, to see his onely sonne and heire, which was mi∣raculously begotten, euen then when he was without hope of is¦sue, burnt to ashes before his face? this was on mount Moria•• a little from Salem or Ierusalem) euen so our Sauiour Christ, fo•• the sinnes that man commits and carries about him, bore vpon his shoulders the woodden crosse whereupon he was offered an••

acceptable sacrifice to his father, that so by his mediation and sa∣tisfaction we might receiue pardon for them: And this was like∣wise done vpon mount Caluarie, a little from Ierusalem. And as the Lord prouided another sacrifice for Abraham, that so hee might saue his sonne, which was, a Ramme tied and intangled in thornes: so God prouided a sacrifice for the saluation of the world euen Iesus Christ our mediatour, who is that immaculate and pretious Lambe of God; whose head being crowned with thornes, and hanging vpon the crosse, by his precious death ope∣ned vnto vs the doore of eternall life, and made vs capable of e∣uerlasting happinesse, Iohn 19. 1 Peter 1. Such was the loue of A∣braham, a father vnto God; such the loue of God, a father vnto man: that they spared not their only sonnes, the one typically to represent the other. The other, that is, the only begotten sonne of God, to dye effectually for Abraham, Isaac, and all mankinde, Ioh. 3. Gen. 22.
