SOL. SONG, 8th Chap. last Verse. _Make haste_, _my Beloved_, _and be thou like to a Roe_, _or a young_ _Hart upon the Mountains of Spices_.
THIS divine Poem, is designed by the Holy Spirit, to exhibit the love of God our dear Saviour, to his chosen people, with all the happy consequences of that eternal affection. The whole book is full of Christ, as the all in all of the Church, which he has purchased with his blood-the union subsisting between the elect head and chosen body. What Christ is to them, and they are to him, is strikingly set forth by many well-known metaphors. Perhaps there is nothing of greater importance in the Bible than the Union subsisting between Jesus and his Church, the whole Scriptures are full of it; all our salvation depends upon it. The highest idea of Union is that glorious oneness in the three Persons the adorable Trinity; that though they are distinct in Persons, Names and Offices, yet they are one in the divine incomprehensible Essence.
