3. With one of thine eyes: with one chain of thy neck.] Not to postil on them.
1. With one of thine eyes; with one chain, i. e. with thy Graces, thy Wisdom, and Knowledge, thy Faith, and other Graces: As if he had said; I need not to behold both thine eyes: the beauty of one of them is so great, it takes my heart. And I need not to behold all thine Ornaments: even one chain alone hath taken my heart, and drawn my heart to thee. Christ hath an high account of the least of his peoples Graces.
