She acknowledgeth he had brought her into the Chambers, to magnify and to commend the mercy the more: It's the greater honour, that not only she is there, but that the King himself (like the Prodigal's father) met her, and took her in: Christs convoy is much worth, and sinners may hazard forward with it, and not despair of access. 4. She attributes it to him, that she may keep mind of his grace, whereby she stands and enjoys these privileges; and that she may be still humble under them, as having none of these from her self: It is much, under sense and a fair gale of flowing love, to carry even, and to be humble: And it's rare to be full of this new Wine, and bear it well.
