The Twelfth SERMON.1
- 1Sermon 12.
AT the ninth verse of this Chapter you have a query propounded to the Spouse, by the Daughters of Jerusalem, What is thy Beloved more than another Beloved? To this question the Spouse returns her answer in the following verses, wherein she asserts his excellency in general, vers. 10. He is the chiefest among ten thousands: confirms that general assertion by an enumeration of his particular excellencies to vers. 16. where she closes up her Character and Encomium of her Beloved, with an elegant Epiphonema, in the words that I have read, Yea, he is altogether lovely.
