So Holy Job Gods darling, whose candle shined on his head, by whose light he walked through darkness, and on whose Tabernacle the Secret of God was, Yet with much Holy longing, cries, Chap. 23.3. Oh that I knew where I might find him, I would come even to his seat; and comforts himself amidst all his Sorrows with the assured hope of the fully Satisfying sight and enjoyment of his Redeemer at the latter day: So likewise the Spouse in the Song, who had often been brought into the Banqueting house, having the Banner of her beloveds love spread over her, whose left hand had lain often under her head, and whose right hand had embraced her; who had often sitten down under his shadow with great delight, and found his fruits sweet to her taste: whose Spikenard did send forth the smell thereof, while the King sat at his Table: who had frequently found by the kisses of his mouth, his love to be better then Wine, and to whom he had often given his loves in the Vineyards: Yet cries in the conclusion of that High Song, make haste (or flee) my Beloved, and be thou like to a Roe or to a young Hart on the mountains of Spices: So was it also with David the man according to Gods heart, who had much ⟨image 9⟩sweet Communion with him in his wanderings and wilderness condition, in Caves and Dens of the Earth, and had often seen his Power and his Glory in the Sanctuary: Yet pants and breaths after more fellowship with him, even as the chased Hart doth after the water brooks, and cries, when shall I come and appear before God?
