The Disparitie.
MOses was most vnwilling to vndergoe that calling of Deliuerance of Israel. But Christ most willingly vndertooke the Deliuerance of his Church. Moses hands also were wearied in holding vp: therefore fell downe, till Aaron and Hur stayed them vp: But the hands of our blessed Mediatour are neuer weary to intercede for his people. Moses saw not GOD face to face: but hee that proceeded out of the bosome of the Father, did see him cleerely, euen Christ, that is the ingrauen Character of the Father. Also Moses led the people onelyonly into the sight of Canaan, and vntounto the borders thereof, but gaue them not possession therein: But our Mediatour and Messiah hath purchased the same vntounto his Chosen, and hath gone before to prepate a place for vsus in that celestiall Canaan, that wee may possesse the same peaceably, after the day of our dissolution.

| 2. Moones: Such was the New Moone, which was holy. | Which did put in minde the Lords Gubernation of all things, as from whom all alterations and changes doe come: and therefore teacheth vsus to relye on his prouidence, Psol. 23. 1. |

| 1. The Passeouer. | Typing and teaching the benefit of our Redemption, as shall be hereafter more fully declared. |
