PREFACE I WISH, by way of Preface, to throw together a few thoughts on the mystic character of Scripture, and on other kindred matters. Many are aware that the books of Moses deal largely in typical representations, that is, figures of spiritual things, both facts and doctrines, of the Christian dispensation. We cannot read St. Paul without perceiving that he saw far more in Genesis than the mere letter. The creation with him is the figure of another work, which God accomplishes in every saved sinner.
