In this Song, Salomón by most sweet and comfortable allegories and parables describeth the perfect love of Jesus Christ, the true Salomón and King of peace, and the faithful soul or his Church, which he hath sanctified and appointed to be his spouse, holy, chaste and without reprehension. So that here is declared the singular love of the bridegroom toward the bride, and his great and excellent benefits wherewith he doeth enrich her of his pure bountie and grace without any of her deservings. Also the earnest affection of the Church which is inflamed with the love of Christ desiring to be more and more joyned to him in love, and not to be forsaken for any spot or blemish that is in her.
