Suppose they had had none at all yet for all that they might have had this use; as (I hope) the brazen Serpent was a real type and prefiguration of Christ, in reference to his Spiritual healing of the poor Sin-stung Soul, and yet that of it self had no virtue at all to bring about that effect which should bear any analogie unto the thing typified. |
