Showing how the people of that Land in a base manner used John the beloved servant of Jesus, the Prince of Light, who (for his Master's sake) was barbarously murdered; And how narrowly the Prince himself escaped. As also showing how he again and again tendered his endeared love to the Soul, and how unkindly she denied his Suit. Moreover, how Vicinius- (a Neighbour) hearing of this great News, enquired of Theologus concerning the Creature this Prince in such a manner had set his affections upon. The miserable and deplorable condition of the Soul discovered and laid open, being infected with a loathsome Disease full of Ulcers and Running sores from head to foot, naked, wounded, and in her blood, her eyes also being put out; and this the Prince knew before he came from Heaven, his own Country: showing, that as she was in her fallen state, she was the object of his love and desire.
