The Most Remarkable Types, Figures, and Allegories of the Old Testament (Classic Reprint)

By William McEwen

Excerpt from The Most Remarkable Types, Figures, and Allegories of the Old Testament

In order to settle the proper limits of allegorical interpreta tion, two things must be observed, which our author, in the course of this work, appears to have steadfastly keptin his eye. First, To make a proper divine allegory, type, or figure, it is necessarily required that there be a resemblance, less or more, betwixt the literal history, person, or thing, and the spiritual doctrine, truth, or mystery, which 18 supposed to be represent ed. Secondly, There must be some good reason to think that this resemblance is not merely casual, or the child of fancy, but: actually intended by the Holy Ghost. And where even both these requisites are found, the utmost care should betaken not to strain the type or allegory beyond the bounds of a just and reasonable comparison, 'lest, instead of following the clue, we stretch the thread till it breaks.
