One great principle to be borne in mind in investigating the subject is, that the analogies which these symbols express in concrete form are likenesses of relation, not resemblances in the Hence the similitude must not be pressed things themselves. too far, nor must a symbol always be held to one exclusive sense. Thus the familiar symbol of water with equal appropriateness denotes in one place an overwhelming flood of afflictions, and in another the fulness of Gospel blessings; and leaven, which in some passages signifies corruption of character or doctrine, means in at least one other the spread of the truth, the one characteristic of leaven which gives rise to both applications being its diffusiveness.
