John Trapp on Song of Solomon 2:17

Verſ. 17. Until the day break, and the ſhadows flee away] Until that day dawn, that laſt and glorious day, when Chriſt the Sun of Righteouſneſs ſhall appear, and chaſe away the ſhadows of ſin and miſery, wherewith I am here benighted.

Umbra terrae noctem facit. Iſidor. Etym. lib. 5. cap. 13. Turn about my Beloved] And though thou leave mee for a time (as thou art a God that hideſt thy ſelf, Iſa. 45.15.) yet never forſake mee, but let thine heart bee ever upon mee, and thine hand ready to help at a dead lift.

Yea bee thou like a Roe or a young Hart] Come ſweetly and ſeaſonably to my relief and ſuccour. To ſet thee a time, were to ſet the Sun by my Dial. But when thine own time is come,2 Sam. 2.29. their come Lord Jeſus, come quickly, bee as nimble as a Roe or young Hart upon the Mountains of Bether, called elſewhere Bithron beyond Jordan: which mountains were much haunted by Hunters. Mountains of diviſion, ſome render it, and one deſcants thus: The Spouſe of Chriſt in that heavenly Marriage-Song calleth him a young Hart on the Mountains of Diviſion. D. Hall Epiſt. 5. dec. 3. Tell mee then whither will you go for truth, if you will allow no truth, but where there is no diviſion?
