brightnesse and direction so an Allegory may be likened to a constellation or a company of many stars An Allegory is a sentence that must be understood otherwise then the literal interpretation shewes It is the continuation of Tropes in divers words as a Metalepsis is the continuation of a Trope in one word through the succession of significations and these are sometimes confused or distinct or It is the continual prosecution of a Metaphor and that proportionably through the whole sentence or through divers sentences or as others say It is the continuation of a Trope and of the same Allusion in the same discourse and is when one kinde of Trope is so continued as look with what kinde of matter it be begun with the same it be ended Continuare Tropos allegoria adsolet a Absque Et Cerere Baccho Venus alget Claudite rivos a i. e. Sine pane vino friget amor In Reipublicae corpore omnia membra manus pedes caput in totius salutem conspirare debent Quoniam ex vadis jam evasisse videor scopulos praetervecta videtur oratio perfacilis mihi reliquus cursus ostenditur O Naves referent in mare te novi Fluctus O quid agis sortiler occupa Portum c. In qua Navem pro Republica fluctuum tempestates pro bellis Civilibus portum pro pace concordia intelligi voluit Horatius lib. 1. Od. 14. English Examples of an Allegory Shall we suffer the monstrous Crocodile to come out of Nilus and to break into our fold to overcome our Shepherd to rent off our skins with his griping pawes to crush our carkasses with his venemous teeth to fill his insatiable paunch with our flesh and to wallow a● h●s pleasure in our wool By this Allegory our enemies are described who either by open force or secret conspiracy are prepared and fully bent to captivate infringe and destroy the people with their liberties and to possesse their dwelling places and enjoy their wealth Rub not the scar lest you open again the wound that is healed and so cause it to bleed afresh Though this be sense and a reall truth in the letter yet it hath an Allegorical signification i. e. Renew not by rehearsal that sorrow which time hath buried in the grave of oblivion or made forgot Philoclea was so invironed with sweet rivers of vertue that she could neither be battered nor undermined Where Philoclea is expressed by the similitude of a Castle her natural defence by the natural fortification of rivers about a Castle and the Metaphor continues in the attempting her by force or craft expressed by battering or undermining But when she had once his Ensign in her minde then followed whole squadrons of longings that so it might be with a main battle of mislikings and repinings aginst their creation Where you have Ensigns squadrons main-battles Metaphors still derived from the same thing to wit war The world 's a Theater of theft great rivers rob the smaller brooks and they the Ocean Sometimes an Allegory is mixt with some words retaining their proper and genuine signification whereof this may be an Example Why covetest thou the fruit and considerest not the height of the tree whereon it growes thou dost not forethink of the difficulty in climbing nor danger in reaching whereby it comes to passe that while thou endeavourest to climb to the top thou fallest with the bough which thou embracest This Allegory describes though somewhat obscurely yet very aptly the danger vanity and common reward of ambition And the words which retain their proper signification are these covetest considerest and forethink which words do make it a mixt Allegory Scriptural Examples of an Allegory A Scriptural Allegory is such as contains an abstruse and hidden sentence and other then the native signification of the words will bear and it is when under a dark and hidden saying the literal sense contains another to wit a spiritual or mystical meaning It is the representation of some mystical or spiritual thing by another mentioned in Scripture and is when by the things done under the old Law the mysteries of the New Testament are signified from whence an Allegorical sense of the Scripture hath its ●i●e A Scriptural Allegory is twofold viz. 1. Natural 2. Inferr'd A natural Allegory is such as is expresly delivered in the Scriptures themselves and this properly is the mystical sense of the Scripture as Gal. 4.25 For this Agar is Mount Sinai in Arabia and answeteth to Jerusalem which now is c. The Apostles meaning here is that in a mystical sense Agar hath some proportion unto Jerusalem that is unto the Jewes whose Metropolis or chief City Jerusalem was for as Agar the bond-woman obtained a place in Abrahams house and was at length cast forth thence so the Jews were in the Apostles time under the servitude of the Law and for that they would be justified by the works of the Law were ejected the house of God Exod. 34.29 The face of Moses shined c. This contains an Allegorical sense which the Apostle explains in 2 Cor. 3.7 13 14. But if the ministration of death c. was glorious so that the Israelites could not stedfastly behold the face of Moses for the glory of his countenance c. how shall not the ministration of the spirit be rather glorious vers 14. but their minds were blinded for untill this day remaineth the same vail c. in the reading of the old Testament which vail is done away in Christ. The like Allegory you may find if you compare Exod. 12.15 17. with 1 Cor. 5.7 8. 2. An Allegory inferr'd is such as the Scripture it self shewes not nor makes manifest but is brought in by interpreters Allegories of this kind are like unto pictures but their literal expositions like to stone-wals the house hath its strength from the stone-wals the pictures afford not the least strength either to the house or wals This Allegory is either offered or inforced and wrested 1. That inferr'd Allegory from Scripture which is offered hath a probable ground and foundation in the literal sense and a proportionable agreeablenesse of things and is likewise agreeable to the Analogie of faith as Gen. 6.14 The description there of the Arke of Noah doth allegorically represent Gods spiritual house or Church which in 1 Pet. 2.5 is said to be built up of living stones and also denotes the Lords miraculous preservation of that Church of his so that neither the waves or strange and pernicious doctrines or tentations or persecutions can break in upon or drown it Gen. 8.11 The Olive leaf represents the Gospel for in Luk. 10.34 it is evident that oil signifies mercy and peace Luk. 15.
