How fair is thy love, my sister, my spouse! "Hear you that, O spouse of
Christ? Your love is often very cold, and very feeble, and even at the bestit is not what you would have it to be, nor what it ought to be, yet Jesus values it highly" how much better is thy love than wine! and the smell of thine ointments than all spices! "You know that He has the smell of myrrh, and aloes, and cassia upon His garments when He comes out of the ivory palaces, yet He considers that His people’s graces are sweeter than all the spices that ever grew."
