How Dauid was a type of Christ.

DAuid represented Christ diuers waies, First, in his name, (he was beloued) so God testifies of Christ, This is my beloued sonne in whom I am well pleased. Secondly, in the place of his birth, he was borne at Bethlem, so was Christ. Thirdly, in his imploy∣ment,

he was a shepheard; so was Christ: I am the true Shepheard; for a good Shepheard giueth his life for his Sheepe, &c. Fourthly, in his musicke; Dauid was cunning vpon the harp, and by that comfor∣ted the afflicted spirit of Saul: so Christ by the musick and har∣monie of his doctrine (the glad tydings of saluation) comforteth the afflicted members of his Church. Fiftly, Dauid got his glory and preferment by the death of Goliah: so Christ was glorified by conquering Death and the Diuell. Sixtly, Dauid was persecuted by Saul, and pursued from one place to another, so that he had not where to hide his head with safety; so Christ was persecuted by his own countrymen the Iews, shut out from the society of man; and as he said, Mat. 8. The Foxes haue holes, and the Birds haue nests; but the Son of man hath not where to hide his head. Seuenthly, in the dangers that Dauid sustained, by Gods prouidence he was merci∣fully deliuered: so Christ was inclosed and in danger of the Iews at Nazareth, Luke 4. in Ierusalem; in the Temple also. Ioh. 8. but he escaped them al, because then his time was not come, Io. 7.8. Eight∣ly, as Absolon rebelled against Dauid, being his father; so the Iews rebelled against Christ, although hee was their Creator: accor∣ding to that of Esay 61. I haue fed and brought vp children, but they haue forsaken me. Ninthly, as Dauid fled to Mount Olivet for re∣fuge, being brought to a streight; so Christ vpon Mount Olivet (his heart being prest with an intollerable agonie) fled to his Fa∣ther by praier, for comfort in that extremitie. Tenthly, as all the friends and familiars of Dauid forsooke him at such time as Abso∣lon rebelled against him, and followed him with persecutions, mocks and taunts; so Christ at such time as Iudas betrayed him into the hands of the Iewes, was forsaken of all his followers, and many of those which a little before he had done good vnto, moc∣ked and derided him as he was vpon the Crosse. Lastly, as Dauid was restored, notwithstanding the former miseries and troubles, to his antient glory and eminencie; so Christ after he had suffe∣red the due punishment for sin, death, and (before that) extteame miserie; yet at length conquered both, and by his diuine power restored himselfe to his former estate, eternall glory.
