SERMONS ON THE SECOND CHAPTER OF THE CANTICLE OF CANTICLES. THE SIXTEENTH SERMON. Our help be in the name of God &c. It is written as followeth in the second Chapter of the Canticle of Canticles, vers. 1. and 2.
1 I am the rose of Sharon, and the lily of the valleys. 2 As the Lilly among the thorns, such is my love among the daughters.
1 I am the rose of Saron, and the lilly of the valleis. 2 As the Lilly among the thornes, such is my loue among the daughters.
1 The most happy estate and condition of the spouse consisteth herein, that she knoweth what the excellency of her Bridegroom is, who mutually declareth unto her, the good that he will do and hath done her. 2 In what sort it is lawful to be a witness to ones self in his own praise, & that our salvation beginneth from that which God hath revealed us to know him by. 3 The first testimony which God hath given us of himself by natural things. 4 The second manifestation of gods good will towards men by the preaching of the gospel promised and figured unto the fathers, and finally really exhibited. 5 Wherefore the Bridegroom made choice of the similitude of flowers. 6 The allegory of the whiteness of the Lilly, and the colour of the rose is most fitting and agreeable to represent unto us the qualities of this Bridegroom. 7 Wherefore the spouse is compared unto a Lillie aswell as the Bridegroom. 8 The church here below is always environed and intermingled with thorns. 9 That they deceive themselves and others who think to agree light and darkness together. And how we must behave our selves among these thorns.
