Song of Solomon 4:13, 14
Thy plants are an orchard of pomegranates, with pleasant fruits, camphor with spikenard.
Spikenard and saffron, calamus and cinnamon, with all trees of frankincense, myrrh and aloes, with all the chief spices.
Christ having compared his church to a garden, and observed that it was well watered, having in it a spring and fountain; he proceeds to shew the fruitfulness of it, that it abounded with the choicest trees, the most pleasant fruits, and the chief of spices. In explaining these words, it will be proper,
I. To inquire what are intended by the church's plants.
II. Why these plants are said to be "an orchard of pomegranates."
