What figures of the resurrection were there?
1. Adam who was cast into a sleepe, & againe raised vp, out of whose side, whilest he slept, was Eua made. Gen. 2.21.22. was a type of Christ, who died & was raised again, out of whose side be∣ing opened, issued forth both water & bloud, by which the Church was bred and purged.
2. Isaac, who was laid on a pile of wood, and was deliuered by an Angela 1.1, was a type of our Redeemer, who died so for vs in regard of his humanitie in his sacrifice for vs, that notwithstanding in regard of his Diuinity he remained immortall.
3. Ioseph, who was cast into prison, & afterward brought out a∣gaine and aduanced to great honoursb 1.2 did resemble Christ rising again from death, who receiued the rule of heauen and earth.
4. As Samson when he was shut vp, the city gates being locked, did notwithstand securely go forth, breaking the lock and carying away the gatesc 1.3, so the Lord opening the Sepulcre, which was sealed vp, was deliuered from death.
5. Ionas being cast quick out of the fishes bellyd 1.4 resembled Christ, who came out of the graue aliue. To conclude, Dauid ha∣uing scaped so oft out of persecution, and being aduanced to the kingdom, did shadow forth the death & resurrection of the Lord.
