“Emblems (fays Dr. Bryant) feem, in the firdages of 
the world, to have been fimilar in mod countries, and to 
have almod univerfally prevailed. The facred writers 
often alude to them ; ana they were retained even in the 
church of God. The fymbols thus admitted were origi¬ 
nally devifed, to put people in mind of what had palled 
in the infancy of the world. The whole was defigned 
as a difplay of God’s wifdom and goodnefs : and to tranf- 
mit to pofteriiy memorials of the prefervation of mankind.
