John Trapp on Song of Solomon 7:6

Verſ. 6. How fair and how pleaſant art thou, O love, for delight] Emphatica haec admodum ſunt, cum toties exclamatio ponatur, ſaith one. This is a moſt Emphatical exclamation, proceeding from admiration; and importing, that all that hee could ſay of her, was too little; Well might the Prophet ſay, As the Bridegroom rejoyceth over his Bride, ſo doth thy God over thee, Iſa. 62.5. Hence hee can make no end here of commending her: but, having finiſhed one praiſe, hee preſently begins another. This yields infinite matter of comfort to the Saints, that Chriſt loves them ſo dearly, prizeth them ſo highly, praiſeth them ſo heartily: Howbeit, let not them hereupon turn again to folly, Pſal. 85.8. or give way to carnal ſecurity. Laetemur in domino, ſed caveamus à recidivo. Argue not from mercy to liberty, (that's the Devils Logick) but from mercy to duty, as thoſe good ſouls do, Ezra 9.13, 14. Having received ſuch and ſuch, both privative and poſitive favours, ſhould we again break thy commandments? There is ſo much unthankfulneſs and diſ-ingenuity in ſuch an entertainment of mercy, that holy Ezra thinks heaven and earth would bee aſhamed of it; Shall wee continue in ſin that grace may abound, ſaith the Apoſtle, Rom. 6.1? And it is as if hee ſhould ſay, that were moſt unreaſonable, and to a good heart, impoſſible. A man may as well ſay, the ſea burns, or fire cools, as that aſſurance of Chriſts love breeds careleſs and looſe living: They that hold ſo, know not the compulſive power of Chriſts love, 2 Cor. 5.14. nor what belongs to the life of God, Eph. 4.18.
