ANTITYPE, a Greek Word, properly Signifying a Type or Figure correfponding to fome other Type. See Type.
The Word Antitype, AyTirvirot, occurs twice in the New Teftament, viz. in the EpiStle to the Hebrews, IX. 24- and in St. 'Peter, t Ep. III. 21. where its genuine Import has
been much controverted The former fays, that " Chrift
- is not entered into the Holy Places made with Hands,
" which are a.vjhv7rct, the Figures or" AptitypeS of the true;
- ' now to appear in the Prefence of God for us." — Now
Tw©-, as is elfcwhere obferved, Signifies the Pattern by which another Thing is made : and as Mofes was obliged to make the Tabernacle, and all Things in it, according to
the Pattern Shew'd him in the Mount $ the Tabernacle fo formed was the Antitype of what was Shewn to Mofes : An? Thing therefore formed according to a Model or Pattern is an Antitype.

therefore here Signifies a general Similitude of Circumstan- ces ; and the Particle a, wberev.nto, refers, not to the imme- dient Antecedent, uJW©-, Water, but to all that precedes.
Antitype, among theantient Greek Fathers, and in the Greek Liturgy, is alfo applied to the Symbols of Bread and Wine in the Sacrament. See Symbol, Eucharist, &c.
Hence it has been argued by many ProteStants, that the Greeks do not really believe the Doctrine of Tranfubftari- tiation ; in regard they call the Bread and Wine Antitypes, avTtTwrtt, q. d. Figures, Similitudes, even after the Confecration. See Greek, Tr ansu est anti at ion, £5?c.
Clement, in his Constitutions, S. Cyril, and Gregory Na- zianzen, and feveral other antient Writers, make no fcruple of ufing the Term on the fame Occalion 5 as is allowed by Leo AUatius,Suicer, &c. T'hefaur. Ecc lefiaft.
M. Simon replies to Dr. Smyth, who had made this Ob- fervation of the Greeks calling the Species, Antitypes, after Confecration ; that the Greek Church does not hold the Confecration compleated till after the Prayer call'd Invoca- tion of the Holy Spirit, which comes after the Paffage of the Liturgy, where the Bread and Wine are call'd Anti' types.
Add, that Marcus Ephejins, the Leader of the Party a- gainft the Latins, at the Council of Florence 5 makes ufe of this very Paffage in the Greek Liturgy, to prove that the Confecration docs not confift wholly in the Words, L'bisis my Body $ but alfo in the Prayer or Benediction which the PrieSl rehearSes afterwards, invoking the Holy Spirit.

See Day, Hour, Season, &g.
Hence alfo thofe Stars which never rife to any given) Place, to the Jiitcepi and Antipodes thereof never fet: and vice verfa- — And if the Jntceci turn their Faces toward eacli other, or the Antipodes look borh toward the Equator, the Stars will rife to the one on the right Hand, and to' the 0- ther on the Left.
