II. Joshua led Israel quite into Canaan, not only unto the sight of it, but into it: So Christ leads us, as we said before, into Heaven. What Moses could not do, Joshua did do upon this account: So what the Law could not do, being weak through the Flesh, Christ, our Joshua, hath done.

III. Joshua was a mighty Conqueror: So is Christ. Joshua overcame and utterly de∣stroyed many Kings, that so he might give Israel the peaceable Possession of the Land of Canaan: So J••sus Christ overcame, and totally vanquished divers mighty Kings, and Enemies of our Souls, that so he might give us a certain Assurance of the eternal Inheri∣tance, viz. (1.) Satan, the great King of the Bottomless-Pit. (2.) Sin, who, like a cruel and merciless King and Tyrant, reigned over all the Children of Men. (3.) Death, the King of Terrors, &c.

IV. All the good Promises God made to Israel, were fulfilled by the hands of Joshua: So all the gracious Promises of God to his Elect, were fulfilled in and by Jesus Christ.

V. Joshua saved Rahab's House, that had the red Cord hung out at the Window: So Jesus Christ saves all poor penitent Sinners, that express Faith in his Blood.

VI. He accep••ed also the Gibeonites, who humbly entreated Peace of him: So doth Christ all sincere Converts, who wisely seek to him for Mercy.
