Song of Solomon6:10

10 Who is she that looketh forth as the morning , fair as the moon , clear as the sun , and terrible as an army with banners ?

These are the words either 1. Of the Bridegroom: Or 2. Of the Queens and Concubines last mentioned, as praising of her. And they are either words of enquiry, or rather of Admiration and commendation, who, i. e. what manner of person is this, how excellent and glorious! And so this pronoun, who, is understood, Psal. 24. 8. Mark 4. 41. compared with Mat. 8. 27.

As the morning light, which coming after the darkness of the night is very pleasant and amiable, which also suddenly spreadeth it self from the East to the West.

Without any such spots or dark specks as are i[illegible: 1+ letters] the Moon. Which is to be understood in the same sense, that she is said to be without spot, or wrinkle, or bl[illegible: 1+ letters]mish, Eph. 5. 27. which she is partly by Gods gracious acceptation of her as such in Christ, and through his Righteousness; and partly because she shall be such in the future Life.

See above, v. 4.
