The Holy Ghost speaking of a collective body the Church ⟨p. 42⟩and spouse of Christ in Solomons song, in the book of the Psalms and of the Lamentations of Jeremiah, shows us of the outgoings, incomings of the beloved in the soul, of his cloudings and outshinings of free love, of the acts of the hands of Christ, Can. 5. Touching the handles of the bar, and the smell of the myrrh of Christ, that he leaves behind him when he is departed, of the souls feelings of the impressions, or the withdrawings of Christ, as if the whole Church Catholic of Invisible believers (for so the Church is taken especially, Psal. 45. and in the book of Solomons song) were but one particular believer, which is a demonstration that the particular actings of the spirit of grace cannot be written in the scriptures, yet are they not to be thought unlawful revelations, and destitute of the word, no more then we can say, all the particular actings of Devils & of all wicked men, since the creation, of whoring, swearing, Idol-worship, lying, stealing, oppressing, mis-believing &c▪ are not contrary to the express law of the Holy Ghost speaking in the word, because these sinful acts are not particularly all specified and written in scripture, with the names of the actors.
