When we are well pleased, kindness is seen in our eyes; we give our Friends a pleasant and gentle look; Christ tells the Spouse (Cant. 4.9.) Thou hast ravished mine heart, my Sister, my Spouse, thou hast ravished my heart with one of thine eyes. The Hebrew is, Thou hast taken away my heart with one of thine eyes.1 A holy love-look stole away Christs heart; he could not but love the Church when (through the comeliness which he had put upon her) she looked so lovely on him. As thus a look of love from the Churches eye stole away Christs heart, so a look of mercy from Christs eye broke Peters heart, yea and opened the Flood-gates of his eyes too (Luke 22.61, 62.) And the Lord turned, and looked upon Peter, and Peter went out and wept bitterly.
