This whole book of the Canticles is bespangled with the praises of Christ. Homer might praise Achilles, 1Hierom might commend Nepotian, but who can set forth Christs praise? all that I can say, will be no more then the dark shadow in the Picture; and yet it will be so much as may represent him very lovely. That Christ is thus transcendently lovely will appear four manner of ways.
