4 Draw me, we will run after thee: when the king shall have brought me into his privy chambers, we will be merry and rejoice in thee, and will celebrate thy dilections which are better then wine.

1 Howe much this word of Drawing importeth, & how greatly repugnant the nature of man is to God and his truth. 2 Two most pernicious errors against this doctrine. 3 We had need to be drawn during the course of our whole life. 4 The imperfection of man appeareth both in the universal body of the church, & in every member thereof. 5 With what cord the Bridegroom draweth his Bride unto him. 6 We must one draw the other to run all together. 7 An application of this doctrine as well against those which are idle and negligent, as those which draw back and turn aside. 8 This is not all, to run: but we must run after the Bridegroom, and of what turnings we must take heed in this race. 9 What have bin, & are, & shall be the secret chambers we are admitted into, there to be merry. 10 How we must make more reckoning of the dilection of this Bridegroom, then of all things else without exception. 11 Wherefore special mention is made of wine, and how detestable a thing drunkenness is. 12 The conclusion of this doctrine.
