those_o sacrifice_n be_v grant_v to_o be_v mystical_a because_o type_n of_o christ_n the_o substance_n and_o mystery_n of_o they_o my_o answer_n to_o burnet_n argument_n even_o in_o the_o first_o part_n leave_v out_o by_o this_o adversary_n be_v plain_a and_o clear_a viz._n as_o if_o one_o shall_v reason_v that_o because_o the_o type_n be_v material_a visible_a and_o not_o mystical_a therefore_o the_o antitype_n or_o substance_n must_v needs_o be_v material_a and_o not_o mystical_a by_o this_o all_o mystery_n of_o divine_a thing_n be_v exclude_v from_o be_v either_o spiritual_a the_o antitype_n or_o substance_n whereas_o it_o be_v the_o heavenly_a thing_n themselves_o that_o be_v in_o christ_n in_o which_o consist_v the_o substance_n and_o end_n of_o type_n and_o shadow_n and_o my_o subsequent_a exception_n against_o the_o say_a argument_n be_v as_o plain_a and_o unanswered_a that_o if_o the_o antitype_n be_v matterial_a and_o mystical_a because_o the_o type_n or_o shadow_n be_v material_a than_o this_o be_v like_a as_o to_o argue_v that_o because_o circumcision_n which_o be_v a_o type_n be_v material_a or_o outward_a therefore_o the_o circumcision_n of_o the_o spirit_n which_o be_v the_o antitype_n of_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v outward_a too_o and_o not_o mystical_a and_o thus_o he_o may_v as_o well_o reason_n touch_v all_o other_o type_n and_o shadow_n under_o the_o law_n and_o the_o heavenly_a or_o good_a thing_n to_o come_v prefigure_v or_o shadow_v by_o they_o that_o because_o the_o priest_n under_o the_o law_n at_o the_o outward_a tabernacle_n or_o temple_n be_v minister_n of_o outward_a or_o temporal_a thing_n carnal_a ordinance_n shadow_n etc._n etc._n therefore_o those_o good_a thing_n to_o come_v which_o christ_n be_v say_v to_o be_v
