27.
Nor think, brethren, that the sun ought to be worshipped by some men, because the sun doth sometimes in the Scriptures signify Christ. For such is the madness of men; 1 as if we said that a creature should be worshipped, when it is said, the sun is an emblem of Christ. Then worship the rock also, for it also is a type of Christ. 2 "He was brought as a lamb to the slaughter:" 3 worship the lamb also, since it is a type of Christ. "The Lion of the tribe of Judah hath prevailed;" 4 worship the lion also, since it signifieth Christ. Observe how numerous are the types of Christ: all these are Christ in similitude, not in essence....
