PAR. 4.
THe twelve Patriarkes, Fathers of the twelve Tribes, were in the Law of Na∣ture, figures of the twelve Apostles: the twelve Wells of water, at Elim, where the Israelites encamped, under the Law of Moses, were types of the twelve Apostles: The 70. Languages arising from one (if they were, nor more, nor lesse, in number) as is commonly held, from Gen. 11.7. may then be said, to be, in the Law of Na∣ture, types of our 70. The 70. soules, of the house of Iacob, Gen. 46.27. were fi∣gures in the Law of Nature, of our 70. Disciples; which were to be in the Law of Grace. The 70. Elders, Num. 11.16. in the Law of Moses did typifie, our 70. Dis∣ciples, to be chosen, by a better, than Moses: the 70. Palme trees at Elim, Exod. 15.27. did signifie the like; the Law adumbrating the veritie of the Gospell. Lay all, that I have writ together; and I presume, no man will now be so censorious, against the 70. as some others (without deeper considerations, concerning that poynt) have beene; and therefore, as mine owne opinion, in probability; I hope, I may set it downe; that some of the 70. might minister, and attend upon our Sa∣viour, even when Christ, and his twelve Apostles did eare the Paschall-Lambe. I am sure, the two Carthusians, Ludolphus, and Dyonysius, are confident enough, that Martialis, and some other of the Disciples, did administer unto Christ, and the twelve Apostles; and some of them brought water to Christ, saith Ludolphus.
