' This is to be caref uUy distinguished from <strong>the</strong><br />

typical interpretation <strong>and</strong> from <strong>the</strong> mystical—^<strong>the</strong><br />

type being prophetic, <strong>the</strong> mystexy spiritaally<br />

understood.<br />

' Not to speak <strong>of</strong> such sounder interpretations as<br />

that <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> brazen serpent (Wisd. xvi. 6, 7), <strong>and</strong> <strong>of</strong><br />

early history <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> chosen race in ch. z., we may<br />

mention as instances <strong>of</strong> allegorical interpretation<br />

that <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> manna (xvi. 26-28), <strong>and</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> highpriestly<br />

<strong>the</strong> Synoptic Oospels, or <strong>of</strong> any connection with<br />

Hellenism, such as Hartmann, Siegfried, <strong>and</strong> Lo&tner<br />

(Obs. ad N.T. e Phil. Alex.) put into <strong>the</strong>m, I<br />

cannot, on examinatioiH discover any evidence.
