2.To the sight Christ is a delightful thing; To behold God, 1in Christ, is a changing sight. 2 Cor. 3.18. But we all with open face-beholding, as in a glass, the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image, from glory to glory, even as by the spirit of the Lord, Ephes. 1.17. Math. 16.17. 1 Joh. 2.37. To see the King in his beauty, is a thing full of ravishing delight. 3. It taketh the third spiritual sense of hearing; the Spouse,2 Cant. 2.8. is so taken with the sweetness of Christs tongue, that for joy she can but speak broken and unperfect words. The voice of my beloved; It is not a perfect speech, but for joy she can speak no more. Its the voice of joy and gladness, that with the very sound can heal broken bones, Psal. 51.8. and which David desired to hear. O if you heard Christ speak, Cant. 5.13. His lips are like Lilies, dropping sweet smelling Myrrh; Heavens music, the honey of the new Land is in his tongue, the Church cheereth her soul with t•is. Cant. 2.10. My beloved spake, and said unto me, Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away. Christs piping in the joyful Gospel-tiding, Vers. 5. should make us dance. Matth. 11.17. Christ harping and singing sinners, with joyful promises out of he•l to heaven, must have a drawing sweetness to move stones, if the sinner have ears to hear; and what heat and warmness of love must it bring, when Christ is heard ⟨p. 295⟩say, Isaiah 54.11. O thou afflicted, tossed with tempest, and not comforted, behold I will lay thy stones with fair colours, and lay thy foundations with Sapphires? He doubles his words, he desires Jerusalems ears may own this cry, Isaiah 40.1. Comfort ye, comfort ye my people, saith the Lord, speak to the heart of Jerusalem.
