Troposchemmalogia: Tropes and figures; or, A treatise of the metaphors, allegories, and express similitudes, &c. contained in the Bible of the Old and New Testament To which is prefixed, divers arguments to prove the divine authority of the Holy Scriptures wherein also 'tis largely evinced, that by the great whore, mystery Babylon is meant the Papal hierarchy, or present state and church of Rome. Philologia sacra, the second part. Wherein the schemes, or figures in Scripture, are reduced under their proper heads, with a brief explication of each. Together with a treatise of types, parables, &c. with an improvement of them parallel-wise. By B.

This is the Second, and Last Volume, and perfects our whole Design, which I thought at first might have came into one entire Book. That which was promised at first, concerning the Divine Authority of the Scripture, and the Whore of Babylon, you will find here. And tho there is one Thing omitted, or left out, which was in the Specimen, viz. Demonstrations touching the Validity of our Translation, which we lately found done some time since by the Learned Dr. Owen, and others: Yet you have in the room of it a Treatise of Types, which I am persuaded will be more acceptable to most Men, and hath been much more laborious and chargeable to complete, it containing divers Sheets. A Treatise of Types under the Law, carefully opened, we have ground to believe, will be very serviceable, especially to those in the Ministry: And such hath been my Care, that I have not run one Parallel concerning Types, but what I have had the Opinion of the most learned Typical Writers upon; so that I readily confess, 'tis rather theirs than mine.

And tho there is a great difference between Metaphorical or Allegorical, and Typical Scriptures; yet we thought an Essay to open the most eminent Types found in the Old-Testament, would well suit with this sublime Subject: And because some, for want of Study or Learning, may not readily understand the Difference that is between them, we will give you here the Sense of the Learned upon it,
