1 Wherefore the Bridegroom is likewise compared unto a tree which beareth fruit. 2 What the forrest of this world is since the Sin of man, and what difference there is between this tree and others. 3 Whence the appetite we have of eating of the fruit of this tree, opposed to that tree whose fruit our first father was forbidden to eat, proceedeth. 4 It is not enough to look on this tree and to account him fair: but we must also sit under the shadow of him. 5 We must also eat of the fruit thereof, and this fruit is very sweet. 6 The Bridegroom leadeth his spouse farther having eaten and relished this fruit into the hall where the banquet is, that all of us together be there fully fed and satisfied; which thing is at this day especially represented unto us in the banquet of the holy Supper. 7 Where this banqueting hall is, and how we ought to behave our selves therein being brought into it. 8 A comparison of this banqueting hall, with the haunts of the false Church. 9 A large & ample description of the banner of Dilection, under which the spouse resteth and reposeth. 10 An exhortation to come unto this banquet.
