Jewish law. Now the Jewish teaching was not true, although it had miracles
and prophecy and perpetuity, because it had not this other point of
worshipping and loving God only.

evil Christians and for all who do not hate themselves.

678. Types.--A portrait conveys absence and presence, pleasure and pain. The
reality excludes absence and pain.
To know if the law and the sacrifices are a reality or a type, we must see
if the prophets, in speaking of these things, confined their view and their
thought to them, so that they saw only the old covenant; or if they saw
therein something else of which they were the representation, for in a
portrait we see the thing figured. For this we need only examine what they
say of them.

covenant which they say will be changed; and so of the sacrifices, etc.?
A cipher has two meanings. When we find out an important letter in which we
