Excerpt from Religious Emblems: Being a Series of Emblematic Engravings, With Written Explanations, Miscellaneous Observations and Religious Reflections, Designed to Illustrate Divine Truth, in Accordance With the Cardinal Principles of Christianity
Many portions of divine truth are forcibly illustrated by similitudes. The Prodigal Son, the Parable of the Sower, the Good Samaritan, the Good Shepherd, and many other parables recorded in sacred writ are beautiful demonstrations of this truth. These illustrations are, in reality, pictures to the mind, as the pictorial representations in this work are to the eye. They therefore have a double advantage over mere precept, speaking not only to the mind, but also to the eye, in an ocular language, singularly emphatic and universally intelligible.
