11. _Tropology_ is an injunction unto morality: or a moral speech, either with a symbolical or an obvious bearing, devised to evince and instruct our behaviour. _Symbolical_; as where he saith, 'Let thy garments be always white: and let the oil of thy head never fail.' [Footnote 106] That is, let all thy works be pure, and charity never fail from thy mind. And again, It is fit that David should slay the Goliath within us: that is, that humbleness may subdue our pride. _Obvious_ as in that saying, 'Deal thy bread to the hungry.' [Footnote 107] And in that text: 'Let us not love in word, neither in tongue: but in deed and truth.' [Footnote 108] Now tropology hath his name from _tropos_, a turning, and _logos_, which is a discourse. [Footnote 106: Ecclesiastes ix, 8. ] [Footnote 107: Isaiah lviii, 7.] [Footnote 108: 1 S. John iii, 18.] 12. Anagoge is so called from _ana_, which is upwards, and _goge_, a leading: as it were an upward leading. Whence the anagogic sense is that which leadeth from the visible to the invisible: as light, made the first day, signifieth a thing invisible, namely the angelic nature which was made in the beginning. _Anagoge_, therefore, is that sense which leadeth the mind upwards to heavenly things: that is to the Trinity and the orders of angels, and speaketh concerning future rewards, and the future life which is in the heaven: and it useth both obvious and mystical expressions; obvious, as in that saying, 'Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God:' [Footnote 109] mystical, as that, 'Blessed are they that have made white their robes: that they may have right unto the tree of life, and enter in through the gate into the city.' [Footnote 110] Which signifieth, Blessed are they who make pure their thoughts, that they may have a right to see 'God, who is the way, the truth, and the life:' [Footnote 111] and after the example of the fathers, enter into the kingdom of heaven. [Footnote 109: S. Matthew v, 8.] [Footnote 110: Apocalypse vii, 14.] [Footnote 111: S. John xiv, 6.] {8} In like manner, Jerusalem is understood historically of that earthly city whither pilgrims journey; allegorically, of the Church Militant; tropologically, of every faithful soul; anagogically, of the celestial Jerusalem, which is our country. [Footnote 112] Of these things, more examples may be seen in the lessons for Holy Saturday. [Footnote 113] But in this work many senses are applied: and speedy changes are made from one to another, as the diligent reader will perceive. [Footnote 112: How beautifully, observes a writer in the _British Critic_, do old ecclesiastical writers use _patria_ and _domus_ of our celestial country, and our everlasting home!] [Footnote 113: Reference is here apparently made to the fifth chapter of the book, of Lamentations, which appears as the 3rd lesson at Matins.]
