1 Kings 4. v. 33. In stead of those words concerning Solomon, He spake of Trees § 16 from the Cedar Tree that is in Lebanon, unto the Hyssop that springeth out of the Wall; The Targum reads, [Greek or Hebrew] And be Prophesied of the Kings of the house of David in this world, (the duration of time and state of things under the Old Testament) and of the Messiah in the world to c•me; so they call the days of the Messiah. I know of none who have considered what occasion the Targumists could take from the words of the Text, to mention this matter, in this place. I will not say, that he doth not intend, the Book of Canticles, wherein under an Allegory of Trees, Herbs, and Spices, Solomon Prophesieth of, and sets forth the Grace and Love of Christ towards his Church, and wherein many things are by the latter Targumist applied unto the Messiah also, as we shall see.
