John Trapp on Song of Solomon 2:6

Verſ. 6. His left hand is under my head, and his right hand doth embrace mee] As if ſhee ſhould have ſaid, I called unto you my friends to relieve and raiſe mee falling into a ſpiritual ſwoon, but behold the conſolation that is in Chriſt, Phil. 2.1, 2 the comfort of love, the fellowſhip of the Spirit, the bowels and mercies of my dear Husband: hee hath fulfilled my joy, hee hath prevented your help, or at leaſt hee hath wrought together with the means, and made it ſucceſſeful. You have ſtayed mee with flaggons,Pſal. 23.2 but hee hath reſtored my ſoul: You have bolſtered mee up with Apples, but when that would not do, hee hath put his left hand under my head, as a pillow to reſt upon, and with his right hand hee hath embraced mee; as a loving Husband cheriſheth his ſick wife; and doth her all the help hee can, Epheſ. 5.29. The whole virtue and power of the Miniſtry cometh from Chriſt. They do their worthy indeavour to ſtay and under-prop our Faith: but that notwithſtanding wee ſhall ſoon fall to the ground, if Chriſt put not to both his hands to keep us up. Wee ſtand in need of whole Chriſt: and having him to ſupport us, wee cannot fall finally, becauſe fall wee never ſo low, wee ſhall ariſe, for the Lord puts under his hand, Pſal. 37.24. his goodneſs is lower than wee can fall: hee circleth his Saints with amiable embracements, and none can pull them out of his hands. Jacob under-bare Rachel till ſhee died upon him, died on his hand, Gen. 48.7. The good Shunamite held her Son till hee died on her lap. But the love-ſick Church,Rom. 14.8 whether ſhee lives or dies, ſhee is the Lords: and who ſo liveth and beleeveth on him, cannot die eternally. But as when Chriſt himſelf died, though ſoul and body were ſundred for a ſeaſon, yet neither of them were ſundred from the Godhead whereunto they were perſonally united. So is it here: death may ſeparate ſoul and body, but cannot ſeparate either of them from Chriſt. And as Chriſt being raiſed from the dead, dies no more:Rom. 6.9. Col. 3.1 ſo neither doth any one that is riſen with him. Chriſt may as eaſily die at the right hand of his heavenly Father, as in the heart of a true Beleever.
