¶ The argument.
BEcause the Churche shoulde cum the more spedely from all confidence in herselfe, to truste wholly in Christe: her Beloued shewyng why he called her, addeth great promises, whiche (yf she cum to hym) he wyl perfourme, syngyng.
¶Christe to his Spouse. xxxi.
IF that thou cum from Libanus to me,
Thou shalt be crouned from * Amana mount:
From God, the hye top, crouned shalt thou be
With truth, whose heygth al hye thynges doeth surmount.
From ❀ Sanirs top, and eke from + Hermon hie,
The curses whiche thou shalt sustayne of men,
Thou shalt be crounde from euery dignitie,
From the Leoperdes mount, and from the Lyons den.
