Chapter 634 of 1261

Song of Solomon 5:4

My beloved put in his hand by the hole of the door, and my bowels were moved for him.

The church proceeds here to give an account of some farther steps which Christ took in order to awake her, and cause her to arise and open to him; which, though they are instants of his grace unto her, yet manifestly shew how much he resented her unkindness and ingratitude to him! and she also takes notice what influence this carriage of his towards her had upon her. In these words we have,

I. The method which Christ took in order to have entrance; he "put in his hand by the hole of the door."

II. The effect it had upon her; her "bowels were moved for him."
