An exposition on the whole booke of Solomons song,: commonly called the canticles. Wherein the text is explained and usefull observations raised thereupon. / By John Robotham, preacher of the gospel.

Behold he standeth behind our wall, he looketh forth at the window, shewing himselfe through the Lattesse.

The Church doth here signifie a more neer com∣munion with Christ then shee had before, when he was leaping upon the Mountaines and Hills; and yet not so neer, but the sight shee now had of him was imperfect; there was still a wall betweene her and him, which separated them. The Church within, doth see Christ but as under her walls, looking in by the win∣dowes and grates.

This neer sight, and yet imperfect sight, which the Church had of Christ, may be considered three wayes in respect of the impediments to the sight.

• 1. In respect of the Wall.
• 2. In respect of the Windows.
• 3. In respect of the Grates.

All which impediments were betwixt Christ and his Church.
