BRIDE

Vers. 10. I am my Beloveds, and his desire is towards me.

The Bride hath been long silent, delightsomely drinking in what she hath been hearing from the Bridegrooms sweet mouth, and so suffering him to say on: Now in this tenth verse, and these that follow, she comes-in speaking, and having well observed what he said, the result and effect thereof upon her heart doth appear in what she saith. And, 1. she comforts her self in her union with him, as now being clear in it from his owning of her; and she lays down, and begins with this conclusion, vers. 10. Now (saith she) I may say, I am my Beloveds, &c. Then, 2. looking to his promise, vers. 8. she puts up her great desire after communion with him, that according to her interest in him, she might be admitted to enjoy him; which suit is put up, qualified or enlarged, and by several arguments pressed on him, vers. 11, 12, 13.

Then, 2. looking to his promise, vers. 8. she puts up her great desire after communion with him, that according to her interest in him, she might be admitted to injoy him; which suit is put up, qualified or inlarged, and by several arguments pressed on him, vers. 11, 12, 13.
