Song of Solomon 7:9

Song of Solomon 7:9

And the roof of thy mouth like the best wine, for my beloved, that goeth down sweetly, causing the lips of those that are asleep, to speak.

These words contain the third effect of Christ's going up into his palm-tree, or granting his presence to his church: in which may be considered,

I. What is meant by the "roof of her month."

II. Why it is compared to "the best wine."

III. The commendations of this best wine, to which it is compared; which, 1st, Is commended from the person, for whose use it is: "for my beloved." 2dly, From the property of it; "it goeth down sweetly." 3dly, From its effect; "causing the lips of those that are asleep to speak."
