But  in  this  case  the  instrament  employed  we  must  be  content  to  ignore.  It
was  something  that  "  devoured, "  as  the  seventy -eighth  psalm  shows  ;  something
of  small  size,  making  up  for  this  in  numbers  ;  various  in  kind,  whether  flies
or  insects  generally  :  the  prominent  thought  is  that  of  "mixture."

Trying  this  by  its  numerical  place,  we  maj'  see  that  this  is  not  unity,  though
in  its  place,  and  we  are  led  to  ask,  May  not  this  be  the  thought  suggested,  that
lack  of  unity  which  is  implied  in  "mixture," — mixture  in  place  of  unify?

Fanciful  enough  this  will  seem,  no  doubt ;  but  in  these  types,  let  us  remem-
ber, we  have  what  is  addressed  to  the  imagination,  subject  to  Scripture  and
spiritual  judgment.     Let  us  go  on,  therefore,  and  see  whither  this  may  lead  us.
