He believes this because Evil has revealed itself to him as the necessary complement of Good-the antitype through which alone the type defines itself; as a condition of knowledge; as a test of what is right; as a motive to life and virtue so indispensable that it must exist as illusion if it did not exist as fact; because, therefore, its existence cannot detract from the goodness of the First Cause or the promise which that contains.

The surrounding scenery, though full of interest, seems but the setting of the priceless gem, and when inexorable Time, the modern angel of the flaming sword, at length bars the way, and banishes us from our Javanese Eden, the exiled heart turns back perpetually to the floral sanctuary, the antitype of that Divinely-planted Garden on the dim borderland of Time which revealed and fulfilled the primeval beauty of earth's morning hours.
"Through the Malay Archipelago"
Emily Richings
To think that this Lincoln, whom I've seen in attitudes anything but divine, and telling broad, coarse stories-to think that he should be a demigod, antitype of the venerated Hebrew!
