Although what Christ hath spoken in the former verse be wonderful, yet these expressions, vers. 9, 10. being spoken by Jesus Christ to a poor sinful creature, passeth admiration: They may be looked on as the reason of his former call and promise, he thus seriously invites her to come to him, because he cannot want her ⟨p. 226⟩company; for, his heart is ravished with her. The scope in both verses is the same, but is more clearly expressed, vers. 10. Not so much setting forth the Churches loveliness (though that is not to be excluded) as his loving kindness, who is admirably affected towards her, as every word in matter and manner of both, shows. In them consider, 1. The titles given her, which are the same in both verses. 2. What is asserted, and that is, that his heart is ravished. 3. The manner how this is expressed, in a sort of holy passion, doubling the expression. 4. Wherewith it is his heart is so ravished, it's (saith he) with one of thine eyes, &c. In the end of the 9. vers. and more fully amplified, vers. 10.
