Some understand this of the Churches admiring of her selfe, as if she should say, who is this, to wit, beside my selfe, that doth thus ascend? and that she doth, as it were correct her selfe, in respect of her former speech, speaking thus, what should I cause him to remaine with me? nay rather I should strive to enter into his Pallace, who hath all things most faire, and well fur∣nished, and exceeding sweet, and well smelling, yea, whose very Bed, and Bed-Chamber is much more glo∣rious, then all Solomons royalty, which she afterwards commendeth.
Or, we may take it, for Christs admiring his owne graces in his Spouse; as if he skonld say, who is this, but my Spouse, that seekes me with such eagernesse, and is so impatient of my absence, and so revived at my presence; and that holds me so fast, as not to let me goe? This is usuall with Christ, to bestow his owne graces, and stampe his owne image upon us: and then to admire his image and graces in us.
Againe, Others take it to be meant of a new Com∣pany or state of a Church rising up in the world: and so admired of the old Church. The description of the Church followeth.
