Song of Solomon4:6

Verſ. 6. Until the day break, and the ſhadows flee away] i. e. Till that laſt and great day of the Lord dawn, that day of refreſhing, Bemicha[illegible: 1 letter]a, Iſa. 35.10. Act. 3.19. that day of Conſolation, as the Syriack hath it, John 11.24. When everlaſting joy ſhall bee upon the heads of all beleevers; they ſhall obtain joy and gladneſs, and ſorrow and ſighing ſhall flee away. Till that bleſſed time Chriſt (in anſwer to his Spouſes requeſt, chap. 2.17.) promiſeth to get him to the mountains of myrrhe, that is, not to Heaven (as ſome ſenſe it) but to his Church Militant, frequently called Gods Holy Mountain, and here Mountains of Myrrhe, and Hills of Incenſe] as in alluſion to Mount Moriah, whereon the Temple was builded, ſo eſpecially in reference to the prayers and good works of the Saints, thoſe Evangelical Sacrifices wherewith God is well pleaſed. Some there are, that comparing this with chap. 2.17. make theſe to bee the Churches words: that as there ſhee requeſted ſpeedy help of Chriſt in the time of her ſorrow; ſo here in like temptation ſhee fleeth for refuge to the mount of myrrhe, and hell of frankincenſe, to the holy Ordinances where ſhee hopeth for comfort.
