That vnder the Old Testament, had diuers Rites, Ceremonies, and Sacrifices, Figures of Christ, and of the good things we haue in him; especially among the Iewes, his then peculiar People: Whereby the Dispensation of those Times was more obscure, and lesse accompanied with Knowledge, and other Graces.

But of all these things, as also of their Sacraments, (which, in regard of the outward Signes, were a part of the Legall Paedagogie) and likewise of the Mi∣nisteries that were among them, both that of Pro∣phets (inspired) by whom were written the Bookes of the Old Testament, and of other, I haue written at large, in a Treatise entituled, The Old Testament, or the Promise.
