Song of Solomon8:10
Verſ. 10. I am a wall; and my breaſts like towers] If ſhee be a wall, ſaith Chriſt; I am a wall, ſaith this Church of the Gentiles: I will carefully keep the Doctrine of truth committed unto me, I will ſtand firm in the faith, being founded upon the rock of ages. And whereas lately I was looked upon as breaſtleſs, verſ. 8. Now my breaſts are faſhioned, Ezek. 16.7. yea, they are grown far greater than thoſe of mine elder ſiſters; ſo that they look like towers. The Church of the Gentiles, though little at firſt, and ſcarce conſiderable, yet after Chriſts aſcenſion, was marvelouſly increaſed and multiplied: ſo that ſhee her ſelf ſtood amazed to ſee her children come from far, flying to her as a cloud, moſt ſwiftly; and in ſuch flocks, as if a whole flight of Doves, driven by ſome hawk, or tempeſt, ſhould ſcour into the columbary, and ruſh into the windows, Iſa. 60.8.
Then was I in his eyes as one that found favour] Heb. peace, even as that Jeruſalemy-Shulamite; nothing inferiour to the old Church: yea, before her in this, that ſhee for preſent is fallen off, and through her fall, Salvation is come unto the Gentiles, for to provoke them to jealouſie, Rom. 11.11. But when God ſhall have united theſe two ſticks, Ezek. 37.19. and made way for thoſe Kings of the Eaſt, Rev. 16.12. then it ſhall be ſaid of Jacob and Iſrael, What hath God wrought! Numb. 23.23.
