Song of Solomon1:3

3 Because of the favour of thy good ointments , thy name is as ointment poured forth , therefore do the virgins love thee.

Because of those excellent Gifts and Graces of Gods Spirit wherewith thou art replenished, and which flow from thee upon thy Members.

Either 1. Thou thy self, Names being oft put for Persons, as Act. 1. 15. Rev. 3. 4. Or rather 2. Thy same or report, the very mention of thee, and all those things by which thou makest thy self known to men, thy Word, and particularly thine offers and promises of Pardon and Salvation made to sinners, and all thy works, both ordinary and miraculous, especially that great work of Redemption.

Most lovely, and acceptable, and refreshing.

Called the companions of the Bride, Psal. 45. 14. particular believers, who are called Virgins, 2 Cor. 11. 2. Rev. 14. 4. who have their senses exercised to perceive this sweetness and fulness of Christ.
