OF PARABLES. Wherein shall be given (1.) the Definition of the Word, and Thing. (2.) Its Division. (3.) Canons respecting it.
1A Parable is called so [Greek or Hebrew], which, besides other Significations, which this Subject is unconcerned in, (for it signifies objicere, conjicere, detorquere, committere, appropinquare, transmitter, &c.) denotes conferring, comparing, or the Collocation of different Things Jerome *calls it a Similitude, because, as a previous Shadow of Truth, it represents it. Tossanus says, that it denotes the Comparison of Heavenly Things with Earthly; It answers to the Hebrew* Mashal: Properly and strictly it signifies an artificial Narrative of a Thing done, to signify another Thing. So Glassius says.
