His curled locks, are black: [as a raven] is added by way of illustration, of the blackness, not with any Allusion to the nature of the Raven. Take the Head spoken of in a political sense; his Locks or hair, said to be curled, as seeming to be entangled, but really falling in perfect order, and beauty, as bushy locks, are his Thoughts, and Counsels, and ways, in the Administration of his Kingdom.

Such are I say, the thoughts of his heart, the Counsels of his wisdom, in Reference to the Administrations of his Kingdom: dark, perplexed, involved, to a carnal eye; in themselves, and to his Saints, deep, manifold, ordered in all things, comely, desirable.
