You see how it was with Job. I have heard of thee with the hearing of the ear: But now mine eyes see thee. And certainly the sight of his beauties did take him: those eyes which saw him were like a burning-glass to the heart, to kindle the flames and fervours of holy affections towards him again.

You see how it was with the Church, Cant. 3.4. Christ had withdrawn himself: She makes inquiry after him, but could not hear of him. At last after all her trouble, Christ appears to her soul. And you may read there, how exceedingly her heart was taken with his return. I found him whom my soul loveth; I held him, and would not let him go, until I had brought him into my Mothers house, Cant. 3.4.
