But the other mystical Way of interpreting these three Miracles is by making them Types of three great Events at the Time of _Christ_'s spiritual Advent. Accordingly the raising of _Jairus_'s Daughter is a Type of the Conversion of the _Jews_ at that Day, as _Eusebius Gallicanus_[303] and venerable _Bede_[304] and others expound it. By _Jairus_, the Ruler of a _Synagogue_; is meant _Moses_[305]; and by his Daughter is to be understood the _Jewish Church_, which, being at present in a State of Spiritual Death, will be revived and converted in the Perfection of Time. And to the mystical Resurrection or Restitution of the _Jewish Synagogue_, call'd _Jairus_'s Daughter, will _Jesus_ come[306] at the same Time he heals the Woman of the Church of her Issue of Blood. And this is the Reason that the Stories of these two Miracles are blended together by the _Evangelists_, with their synchronical Numbers of the Age of the _Girl_ and of the Disease of the Woman; because they are Types of that blessed Scene of Affairs at the Conversion of the _Jews_, when the Fulness of the _Gentiles_ is come in. Concerning which blessed state of the Church, _Origen_[307] says, _Jesus_ wrought many Miracles, by Way of Type and Figure. Among all the Miracles that _Jesus_ wrought, and are recorded by the _Evangelists_, I think, as far as I have had Occasion to observe, the Fathers are most scanty in their Interpretations of that of the Widow of _Naim_'s Son: Excepting what is before noted of his being a figure of a Sinner dead in actual, tho' not habitual Sin, I find very little. But if _Origen_'s Comments on this Miracle had been extant, I dare say he would have given us this following Interpretation of it. This Widow, he would have call'd the Church; and her _only Son_ or masculine Offspring, he would have call'd the _Spiritual Sense_ of the Scriptures, which is now dead, and that the _Ministers_ of the _Letter_, who are his Bearers, are for interring him within the _Earth_ of the _Letter_: But _Jesus_, upon his Spiritual Advent will put a stop to the Intention of such Bearers, by reviving the _Spiritual Sense_ of the Scriptures; and by restoring it, like a _quicken'd Son_, to the Comfort of his Mother, the Church; who has been in a sorrowful and lamentable Condition upon the Death and Want of it: This, I am sure, would be _Origen_'s Interpretation of this Miracle, which, if I had Room here, by a little Circumlocution, I could prove. As to _Lazarus_'s Resurrection, it is in the Opinion of the Fathers[308] a Type of the general and mystical Resurrection of Mankind in the Perfection of Time. But this is a most copious Subject; and unless I could here throughly handle it, I had much better say nothing.
