Song of Solomon3:5
5 I charge you, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, by the roes, and by the hinds of the field, that ye stir not up, nor awake my love till he please .
This verse is repeated from Ch. 2. 7. where it is explained. The Spouse exhorts her self, and all her fellow-Members to be very circumspect, lest by any unkind or provoking carriage, they should give Christ any cause to depart from them. He is supposed to allude to the custom of awakening the Bridegroom and Bride by Songs and musical instruments.
Marginal references: Ch. 2. 7. & 8. 4.
