We find such kind of abrupt speeches (as I may call them) in other Texts of Scripture, still arising from fullness and strength of affection in the speaker. See how Solomon begins his Love-song, his Song of Songs. The Song of Songs which is Solomons, that's the title of it; How doth it begin? Let him kiss me &c. Here is a strange Exordium to a Song, none having been spoken of before, Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth! by whom the Church would be kissed she expresseth not, but her heart was so full of Christ, so full of love to Christ her Bridegroom, her husband, that she thinks it needless to mention him by name, when she speaks of him whose kisses she desired. Her love had passed through the whole Creation, through men and Angels, through all things here below, and sixth it self only upon Christ her Lord and Love. Therefore she never stood speaking personally of him, but only relatively, and leaves all to understand whom she intended. Thus saith Job, O that I knew where I might find him! when as he had not spoken of any distinct person before, in this Chapter. And we have a like passage flowing from a like abundant love to Christ, in the 20•h of John ver. 15. where Mary comes to the Sepulchre (Christ being risen) and the Angel seeing her weep asked her the reason of it; To whom she replied, Because they have taken away my Lord, and I know not where they have laid him; having thus said, she turned her self back, and saw Jesus standing, and knew not that it was Jesus: he saith unto her, Woman, why ⟨p. 315⟩weepest thou? whom seekest thou? She supposing him to be the Gardiner said, Sir, if thou have borne him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him: She never names Christ, but only saith, If thou have borne him hence &c. because her heart was full of Christ, she thought his heart was full of him too, and that he understood her well enough whom she meant, though she said not whom she meant. Thus in the present text, Job was to God at that time, as Mary to Christ, at a loss for him, not knowing where to find him, God was as it were removed from him, as Christ was risen from the Sepulchre; Therefore he complainingly and affectionately enquires; O that I knew where I might find him! My soul is a thirst for God, my heart pants after him, O that I knew where I might find him!

Wee finde such kinde of abrupt speeches (as I may call them) in other Texts of Scripture, still arising from fullnes and strength of affection in the speaker. See how Solomon begins his Love-song, his Song of Songs. The Song of Songs which is Solomons, that's the title of it; How doth it begin? Let him kiss mee &c. Here is a strange Exordium to a Song, none having been spoken of before, Let him kiss mee with the kisses of his mouth! by whom the Church would be kissed shee expresseth not, but her heart was so full of Christ, so full of love to Christ her Bridegroom, her husband, that shee thinks it needlesse to mention him by name, when shee speakes of him whose kisses shee desiered. Her love had passed through the whole Creation, through men and Angels, through all things here below, and fixt it selfe onely upon Christ her Lord and Love. Therefore shee never stood speaking personally of him, but onely relatively, and leaves all to understand whom she intended. Thus saith Job, O that I knew where I might finde him! when as he had not spoken of any distinct person before, in this Chapter. And wee have a like passage flowing from a like abundant love to Christ, in the 20h of John ver. 15. where Mary comes to the Sepulchre (Christ being risen) and the Angel seing her weepe asked her the reason of it; To whom shee replyed, Because they have taken away my Lord, and I know not where they have laid him; having thus said, shee turned her selfe backe, and saw Jesus standing, and knew not that it was Jesus: he saith unto her, Woman, why
