John Trapp on Song of Solomon 4:7

Verſ. 7. Thou art all fair my Love] Chriſt having graciouſly anſwered his Spouſes Petition with a Promiſe of his gracious preſence with her, and providence over her, proceeds in her commendation. A perfection of parts hee here grants her (though not of degrees) a comparative perfection alſo in regard of the wicked, whoſe ſpot is not the ſpot of his children, Deut. 31.5. Hee calls her his Spouſe in the next verſe: Calab of Calol to profit. the Hebrew word imports that being dreſſed in all her Bride attire, ſhee is all fair, and hath perfection of beauty, Jer. 2.32. and is all glorious within and without, not having ſpot, wrinckle, or any ſuch thing but holy and ſpotleſs, Epheſ. 5.26, 27. Fair hee called her before, verſ. 1. but now

All fair] And therefore the faireſt among women, a meet Mate for him who is fairer than all the children of men, Pſal. 45.2. Not but that ſhee hath whiles here, her infirmities and deformities, as the Moon hath her blots and blemiſhes: but theſe are ut naevi in vultu Veneris, theſe ſerve as foils to ſet off her ſuperexcellent beauty, or rather the ſuperaboundant grace of Chriſt, who ſeeth no ſin in Jacob; that is, imputeth none: but freely accepteth of his own work in his people, and ſweetly paſſeth by whatſoever is amiſs in them: Perfection is that they breathe after, and that which is already begun in them: they have the firſt-fruits of the Spirit, and all their ſtrife is to attain to the Reſurrection of the dead, that is, to that perfection of holineſs that accompanieth the State of the Reſurrection, Phil. 3.11.

There is no ſpot in thee] i. e. None in mine account, none ſuch as the wicked are full of, Deut. 32.5. (See the Note there) no Leopard ſpots that cannot bee waſhed away with any water. Eubhorm. James 3 Faults will eſcape the beſt man betwixt his fingers: Nimis Anguſta res eſt nuſquam errare: In many things wee offend all: But as David ſaw nothing in lame Mephiboſheth, but what was lovely, becauſe hee ſaw in him the features of his friend Jonathan; ſo God beholding his offending people in the face of his Son, takes no notice of any thing amiſs in them; they are, as that tree of Paradiſe, Gen. 3. fair to his eye, and pleaſant to his palat: or as Abſalom, in whom there was no blemiſh, from head to foot: ſo are they irreprehenſible, and without blemiſh before the Throne of God, Rev. 14.5.
