Rev. 19. 7. that the same Allegories ⟨p. 29⟩of Vineyards, Fruits and Marriage, &c. are used and to the same scope with this, and are made use of to yield solid Doctrines concerning faith, fruitfulness, and other Doctrines belonging to a Believers faith and practice: Therefore it must be •o here; for though this Song be larger, and is made up of moe Allegories together, that will not alter the nature of it, or of the Doctrines, which must be drawn from it.
