Love compared to Death, and the Grave, and to Coals and Flames of Fire.
Cant. 8.6. Love is strong as Death, Jealousy is as cruel as the Grave: The Coals thereof are Coals of Fire, which have a most vehement Flame. Verse 7. Many Waters cannot quench Love, neither can the Floods drown it, &c.
The Grace of Love which Christ hath infused into the Heart of his Spouse, and all gracious Ones, is compared by the Holy-Ghost in these Scriptures to three things, which are of a mighty powerful and prevailing Nature, against whom there is no standing: First, Death; Secondly, the Grave; Thirdly, Coals and Flames of Fire: Which show forth the vehement Power and Force of Divine Love to Jesus Christ; Which cannot be quenched.
