Clavis cantici, or, An exposition of the Song of Solomon

We will find all these parties in this Song, acting their several parts.

First, The Bridegroom is Christ, John 3. 24. called the one Husband, 2 Cor. 11. 2. for there is not another spiritual husband, to whom Believers can be matched; He is the King's son, for whom the marriage is made, Matth. 22. 1, 2 &c. He is the Lamb, unto whose marriage the hearers of the Gospel are invited, Rev. 19. 9. and Psal. 45. He is the King unto whom the Queen is to be brought after she is adorned; by this name he is also styled in this Song, The King, Chap. 1. 4. 12. &c. and the beloved; Those, and such titles are given to him, which cannot be understood to be attribute to any but to Christ only, by Believers.
