any portion of Israel's land, but subsisted entirely on the
offerings of the people. Pray, why is the occupant of the papal
throne so furious to possess the whole world, and has not only
stolen lands and cities, principalities and kingdoms,[56] but has
arrogated to himself the power to make kings and princes, seat
and unseat and change them according to his pleasure, as if he
were Antichrist. Wherein is there here a fulfilment of the type?

[Sidenote: Worldly Pretensions]

Again, the Old Testament high-priest was a subject under the rule
of the kings. Why then does the pope have men kiss his feet, and
aspire to be king of kings, which Christ Himself did not? Wherein
is the type fulfilled here? Again, the high-priest was
circumcised. And, finally, if having the external things in the
New Testament identical with those of the Old be the fulfilment
of types, why do we not become Jews again and keep the whole law
of Moses? If we must observe it in one particular, why not in
all? If not in all, why in one?

[Sidenote: Holy Men Not Under the High-Priest]

If it be desired to elevate the New Testament above the Old in
the matter of outward splendor, would it not be the reasonable to
suppose that there should be more than one high-priest in the New
Testament, to make it more splendid and glorious than the Old,
which did not have more than one? If reason should judge in this
case and follow its own bent, what do you suppose it would do?
Again, in the time of the Old Testament high-priest there were
many holy men who were not under him, such as Job and his
family--for he was not alone. Likewise the king of Babylon, the
queen of Sheba, the widow of Zarephath, the prince Naaman of
Syria, and many others in Eastern lands, together with their
families, who are all commended in the Scriptures. Why does not
the type hold in these instances, even to the letter? And yet the
pope will let no one be a Christian except he be subject to him,
and buy his seals and parchments at any price his Romanists
please to charge. Or do the Romanists have power to interpret
types as they please and as far as they please, without any
warrant of the Scriptures?

Do you not see, my good Romanist, how envy and hatred have
blinded you and your kind? Would it not have been a more seemly
thing for you to have remained in your cell praying your vigils
until you had been called or urged into this case? You do not
know what a type is or signifies, and yet
