Open Flowers: Open Flowers are the sweetest, because full grown, and because, as such, they yield their fragrancy most freely. Wherefore, when he saith, upon the Doors are open Flowers, he setteth Christ Jesus forth in his good favours, as high as by such similitudes he could. And that both in Name and Office. For open Flowers, lay, by their thus opening themselves before us, all their beauty also most plainly before our Faces. There are varieties of beauty in open Flowers, the which they also commend to all observers. Now upon these Doors, you see are open Flowers, Flowers ripe, and spread before us, to show that his Name and Offices are savoury to them, that by him do enter his house to God his Father, Song 1.1, 2, 3, 4.
