Canon VIII. One Thing is sometimes a Type and Figure of two Things, even contrary Things, but in divers respects.
Thus the Deluge, wherein Noah was saved, was to Believers a Type of Baptism. But in regard the Wicked were drowned in it, it typified the Damnation of Reprobates at the Great Day. To this Head some refer the Places where Christ, who is called a Rock and a Corner-stone, is said to be to the Godly a Rock or Stone of Salvation, but to the Wicked a Rock of Offence. So Christ is called a Lyon for his Strength; but the Devil is so called for his Cruelty. But the two later are rather a different Explication of one Metaphorical Appellation with respect to different or divers Things.
