Biblical typology
Teaching pattern
Genesis 8:22 ('while the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest... shall not cease') read as the law of identical harvest: as a man sows so shall he reap, each thing after its kind. Neville's seedtime is the moment of emotional response, the attitude taken to what one sees, hears or imagines; the harvest is the event met later. Because the seed is an attitude, one can plant deliberately, for oneself or another, by rejoicing in the imagined fulfilment.
