Having insisted on these Generals, for the farther carrying on the motives to Communion with Christ, in the Relation mentioned, §. 27 taken from his Excellencies and perfections, I shall reflect on the description given of him by the Spouse in the Canticles, ⟨p. 78⟩to this very end and purpose, Cant. 5. 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16. My Beloved is white and ruddy, the chiefest of ten thousand. His head is as the most fine gold; his locks are bushy and black as a raven. His eyes are as the Eyes of Doves, by the rivers of waters, washed with milk, and fitly set. His cheeks are as a bed of spices: his lips like lily dropping sweet smelling Myrrh: his hands are as gold Rings, set with the beryl; his belly is as bright ivory overlaid with sapphires; his legs are as pillars, set upon sockets of fine gold: his countenance is as Lebanon, excellent as the Cedars; His mouth is most sweet, yea he is altogether lovely. This is my beloved, and this is my friend, O ye Daughters of Jerusalem.
