Whence we may observe, 1. That Christ hath a way of communicating his love, and the sense of it to a Believer, which is not common to others. 2. That this is the great scope and desire of a Believer, if they had their choice, it's to have sensible communion with Christ: This is their one thing, Psal. 27. 4. It's the first and last suit of this Song, and the voice of the Spirit and Bride, and the last Prayer that is in the Scripture, Rev. 22. 17. 3. That Believers can discern this fellowship (it's so sweet and sensible) which is to be had with Jesus Christ. 4. That they have an high esteem of it, as being a special signification of his love. 5. That much inward heart-fellowship with Christ, hath suitable outward expressions flowing from it. 6. That Believers in an habitual walk with Christ, will be abrupt in their suits to him, sometimes meditating on him, sometimes praying to him. 7. That where Christ is known, and rightly thought of, there will be no equal to him in the heart.
