Pusey  meets  this  argument  by  stating  that,  "in  a  figurative
sentence,  the  figure  must  be  either  (1)  in  the  thing  spoken  of,
or  (2)  in  that  which  is  spoken  of  it,  or  (3)  in  the  word  by  which
these  two  are  connected."  He  then  states  that,  in  his  opinion,
the  figure  lies  in  the  predicate  in  such  expressions  as  "I  am  the
Door,"  "  I  am  tlie  Good  Shepherd,"  "  I  am  the  True  Vine  and  my
Father  is  the  Husbandman,"  whereas  there  can  be,  as  he  alleges,
no  figure  in  the  words  "My  Body  which  is  given  for  you,"
because  they  speak  of  a  true  Body  which  for  us  was  nailed  upon
the  Cross.  The  figure  plainly  is  not  in  the  word  This.  Neither
does  any  figure  ever  lie  in  the  word  is.  Therefore  it  naturally
follows  from  these  premises  that  there  can  be  no  figure  in  the
expression  "this  is  my  body^'  (pp.  61-63).  But  if  the  reader
will  turn  over  a  few  pages  in  Dr.  Pusey's  volume  he  will  find
the  following  passage,  which  certainly  seems  contradictory  to
his  own  reasoning  above.
