ScHEMES oF SENTENCES AND AMPLI_FICATIONS. Book I. Text, the Sea fignifies the South, viz. the Red Sea, which was on the South of Judea: See Pfal. lxxii. 8. Exod. xxiii. 31, &c. Xe'"'Ye"~""' Chron~grapbia, a Defcription of Time, "e'"'Yf'"-l''Ye"'~"'• Pragmetographia, a Dotcnpnon of a T hmg or AC1:10n, and "'e'"w"''Ye"~'"' Profopographza, a Delcnptiotl of a Perfon, are rather the C.rcumll:ances ( "'I''M"') of an h1!toncal Speech limply and plainly delivered, than Scbe;ues; though by fome accounted as fuch. -r.,.,ju.,.w«;, flypot)'pofis, fignifics Heprefentation, and is, when a Thing is reprefented to the Eye, fo as that it may fee m not to be told, but to be acted; as in that Defcrip– tion of the horrible Defolation of the Earth, !fa. i. 6, &c. the whole 34 Chapters.

When Chrijf is exprefi'ed by a Spoufe and a Warrior, Pfal. xlv. When the profperous wicked Man, is propofed as a grew Bay-tree, PJal. XJtxvii. 35, 3.6. So that this is only an illufl:rating Similitude. rrx&o,-ou", Pathop£ia, an Expreffion of AffeCtion, is when Atfetl:ions are clearly ex– prefi'ed by a plain Speech: As of God, !fa. xlix. 15.

IlL Schemes taken from Di{paratts or different 'I'hings. rr"e'"!3"~'~' ,Parecbajis, Digreflion, is, when fomething is added befides the Purpofe, or exceeds the intended Narration, ·Gen. ii. 8- 15. where there is a Digreffion, re– fpeCI:ing the Habitation which God provided for the Man he created, Gen. xxxviii. throughout is a Digrejjion as alfo Chapter xxxvi. Jn the Epiftles of Paul, there are many neat Digreffions, which are fairly, though with different Reafons, brought to ferve his prefent Scope, returning by a Circle of Sentences to his firll: original Purpofe.

His Scope runs thus, Paul the Apoftle of the Gentiles, feparated unto the Gofpel, Vcrfe r. theGofpel is the Dotl:rine of the Son of God, Verfes 2, 3· the Son of God is true God and Man, Verfes 3, 4· by this Son of God and Man, Paut was called tdthe Apo11:lefhip, to preach among the Gentiles, Verfe 5· the Romans are Gentiles, Verfe 6. therefore let Grace and Peace from God the Father, and our Lord Jejits Cbrift, be to the Romans, Verfe 7. See I c.r. i. I 3· &c. Epb. iii. I' &c.•Col. i. 3· to the End. There are many of thefe Digreffions in the Epill:les of Peter, and in his Sermons, as they are defcribecl by Luke in the Afls, &c. M./"(3""''' Metabpjis, Tranfition, is, when the Thing, or Things, to be fpoken, are briefly hinted or pointed at ; as 1Cor. xii.
