PAR. 19.
THough the causes, concerning the divine Law, belonged to the high Priest, yet some unusuall priviledge was granted to Samuel, who was both a Levite, and a Prophet, and an extraordinary Priest, saith the great Salianus, in his Annals; let me adde, that he was a judge also; and that the Iudges had a regall power; Samuel being herein a Type of Christ, a King, Priest, and Prophet. Lastly, let the words before cited have their due consideration,b 1.1 2 Chron. 35, 18. There was no Passeo∣ver like to that of Josiahs, from the dayes of Samuel the Prophet; and though we cannot punctually say, it was in such a yeare of Samuel, yet this resultance is un∣forced, and may runne among the likely ones. In the dayes of Samuel the prophet, there was a passeover like to Josiahs.
