Song of Solomon 7:8

I said I will go up to the palm-tree, I will take hold of the boughs thereof: now also thy breasts shall be as clusters of the vine, and the smell of thy nose like apples..

Christ having compared the church to a palm-tree and her breasts to "clusters of dates," the fruit thereof, does here,

I. Make a resolution or promise to go up into its and "take hold of the boughs thereof."

II. Mentions several effects following upon his putting this resolution into practice, or fulfilling this promise; two of which we have an account of in these words: as,

1st, That her breasts should be filled, and become like "clusters of the vine." 2dly, "The smell of her nose" should be "like apples."
