    ,this ,book is called the ,canticle 
of ,canticles1 that is to say1 the most 
excellent of all canticles3 because it  
is full of high mysteries1  relating to 
the happy union of ,christ and his      

spouse3 which is here  begun by love2   
and is to be eternal in heaven4 ,the    
spouse of ,christ is  the church3 more  
especially as to the happiest part of   
it1 viz41 perfect  souls1 every one of  
which is his beloved1 but1 above all    
others1 the  immaculate and ever blessed
 virgin mother4      ,canticle of

mutual love for one  another4    #a3a4

church1 the spouse of ,christ1 prays    
that he may  love and have peace with   
her1 which the spouse prefers to every  
thing  delicious3 and therefore         
expresses 7ver4 #b7 that young maidens1 
that is  the souls of the faithful1 have
 loved thee4    #a3b4 ,smelling sweet of
 the best ointments4 ,thy name is as oil
 poured  out3 therefore young maidens

will run after thee to the odour of thy 

ointments4 ,the  king hath brought me   
into his storerooms3 we will be glad and
 rejoice in  thee1 remembering thy      
breasts more than wine3 the rightous    
love thee4    ,draw me444 ,that is1 with
 thy grace3 otherwise ,i should not be  
able to  come to thee4 ,this metaphor   
shews that we cannot of ourselves come  
to  ,christ our ,lord1 unless he draws  
us by his grace1 which is laid up in    
his storerooms3 that is1 in the         
mysteries of ,faith1 which ,god in his  
goodness and love for mankind hath      
revealed1 first by his servant ,moses   
in the ,old ,law in figure only1 and    
afterwards in reality by his only       
begotten ,son ,jesus ,christ4    #a3d4

daughters of ,jerusalem1 as the tents   
of ,cedar1 as the curtains of ,solomon4 
,i am black but beautiful444 ,that is1  
the church of ,christ founded in        
humility appearing outwardly afflicted1 
and as it were black and  contemptible2 
but inwardly1 that is1 in its doctrine  

and morality1 fair  and beautiful4      
#a3e4 ,do not consider me that ,i am    
brown1 because the sun hath altered my  
colour3 the sons of my mother have      
fought against me1 they have made me

 ,i have not kept4    #a3f4 ,shew me1 ,o
 thou whom my soul loveth1 where thou   
feedest1 where thou  liest in the       
midday1 lest ,i begin to wander after   
the flocks of thy  companions4    #a3g4 
,if thou know not thyself1 ,o fairest   
among women1 go forth1 and  follow after
 the steps of the flocks1 and feed thy  
kids beside the tents  of the shepherds4
    ,if thou know not thyself1 etc444

and watch her flock3 and though she know
 not entirely the power at hand  to     
assist her1 he tells her1 ver4 #h1 my   
company of horsemen1 that is1  his      
angels1 are always watching and         
protecting her4 ,and in the following   
verses he reminds her of the virtues and

thee1 ,o my love4    #a3i4 ,thy cheeks
