1 By the discourse at this banquet between the Bridegroom and the spouse we may understand and gather the unspeakable joy and pleasure which the faithful soul receiveth, hearing that which Jesus Christ testifieth unto it. 2 The exceeding beauty of the church, and wherein it consisteth. 3 What is meant by the eyes of a Pigeon. 4 What conveniency and what inequality there is between the dilection & love of this Bridegroom towards his spouse, & that of this spouse towards her Bridegroom. 5 This spouse findeth her self no otherwise beautiful then by the beams of her Bridegrooms beauty, contrary unto her, who pleaseth her self in her self. 6 This spouse neither seeketh after, nor findeth any repose and rest but in the bed of her Bridegroom. 7 What this bed is which is always green, and what the pillars thereof are, which are of perpetual continuance, opposed unto those which are of rotten wood.
