The Passover IL generally regarded
by christian theologians as Mt once
sacrifice and sacrament, and IN the
former character ns an eminent type
of the sacrifice of Christ. The death
OF Christ at the very time of the
Passover IL regarded as corroborative
of this view, which is plainly adopted

AS "Christ our Passover The Pass
