5 Who serve unto the example and ^ashadow of heavenly things, as Moses was admonished of God when he was about to make the ^btabernacle: for, See, saith he, that thou make all things according to the ^cpattern shewed to thee in the mount.

  2 Q. What are we to understand by the four beasts, spoken of in the same verse?
  A. They are ^afigurative expressions, used by the Revelator, John, in describing ^bheaven, the ^cparadise of God, the ^dhappiness of man, and of beasts, and of creeping things, and of the fowls of the air; that which is spiritual being in the likeness of that which is temporal; and that which is temporal in the likeness of that which is spiritual; the ^espirit of man in the likeness of his person, as also the spirit of the ^fbeast, and every other creature which God has created.
