In this allegory, what equivalents does Herbert give each of these terms: tenant, Lord, not thriving, suit, new lease, old lease, manor, land, dearly bought, take possession, his great birth?

What will be an ideal response?


The tenant is the soul; the Lord is the Lord God— or more specifically in this context, Jesus Christ; not thriving signifies that the soul is not saved; the suit is the soul’s acceptance of Christ as Savior, through baptism; the new lease is the New Testament, which replaces the old lease, the Old Testament; the manor is God’s throne in heaven, and the land is the earth, which has been dearly bought by the sacrifice of Christ’s passion and death; Christ has gone to take possession of the land—that is, redeem it from the original sin of Adam and Eve—through his great birth in the form of his incarnation.
