heaven_n but_o thou_o and_o i_o desire_v nothing_o in_o the_o earth_n with_o thou_o ps_n 73._o not_o only_o nothing_o above_o he_o but_o nothing_o with_o he_o his_o flesh_n may_v fail_v &_o so_o may_v

yea_o from_o the_o sight_n of_o this_o beauty_n be_v it_o that_o the_o apostle_n flesh_n do_v in_o a_o sort_n fail_v that_o it_o do_v not_o fail_v for_o he_o desire_v to_o be_v dissolve_v and_o to_o be_v with_o christ_n and_o the_o church_n in_o the_o cant._n be_v so_o far_o rapt_v in_o this_o contemplation_n of_o this_o admirable_a heavenly_a beauty_n which_o she_o see_v in_o our_o bless_a saviour_n that_o impatient_a of_o delay_n and_o as_o she_o after_o profess_v sick_a of_o love_n cant._n 2._o she_o request_v in_o the_o first_o of_o cant._n let_v he_o kiss_v i_o with_o the_o kiss_n of_o his_o mouth_n and_o now_o say_v saint_n augustine_n aliud_fw-la desidera_fw-la si_fw-la maius_fw-la si_fw-la melius_fw-la si_fw-la suavius_fw-la inveneris_fw-la if_o have_v feel_v such_o pleasure_n such_o delight_n if_o have_v see_v such_o comeliness_n such_o beauty_n as_o the_o good_a pleasure_n of_o the_o lord_n manifest_v unto_o thou_o in_o the_o form_n of_o a_o saviour_n and_o

we_o do_v not_o see_v he_o face_n to_o face_n but_o once_o we_o shall_v and_o know_v he_o as_o we_o be_v know_v in_o the_o mean_a time_n this_o be_v our_o comfort_n that_o as_o s._n augustine_n say_v though_o we_o can_v so_o see_v he_o though_o there_o be_v not_o here_o potestas_fw-la videndi_fw-la yet_o here_o there_o be_v gratia_n promerendi_fw-la ut_fw-la videre_fw-la possimus_fw-la and_o

not_o his_o beauty_n in_o this_o therefore_o our_o prophet_n desire_v of_o god_n in_o the_o nine_o verse_n of_o this_o psalm_n that_o since_o he_o will_v so_o glad_o behold_v his_o beauty_n it_o will_v please_v god_n not_o to_o hide_v his_o face_n from_o he_o only_o let_v i_o exhort_v you_o that_o while_o you_o seek_v this_o beauty_n and_o make_v it_o your_o primum_fw-la you_o neglect_v not_o deceive_v yourselves_o as_o a_o way_n to_o it_o to_o promoove_v the_o beauty_n of_o the_o church_n and_o common_a wealth_n which_o principal_o consist_v in_o order_n and_o unity_n for_o these_o two_o make_v decency_n which_o be_v beauty_n for_o that_o which_o be_v beautiful_a be_v decent_a and_o that_o which_o be_v decent_a be_v beautiful_a and_o neither_o of_o these_o can_v be_v without_o order_n and_o unity_n hence_o the_o apostle_n as_o if_o all_o beauty_n be_v in_o order_n let_v all_o thing_n be_v do_v decent_o and_o in_o order_n 1_o cor._n 14._o and_o last_o and_o indeed_o order_n and_o unity_n which_o be_v nothing_o but_o explicit_a order_n be_v the_o outward_a beauty_n the_o beauty_n of_o the_o body_n of_o the_o church_n the_o inward_a beauty_n or_o the_o soul_n be_v holiness_n that_o be_v it_o make_v she_o all_o glorious_a within_o but_o that_o beauty_n we_o can_v so_o well_o discern_v as_o believe_v it_o be_v only_o see_v of_o god_n because_o the_o residence_n of_o it_o be_v in_o the_o heart_n and_o unless_o we_o in_o some_o measure_n partake_v of_o that_o beauty_n and_o be_v gracious_a by_o it_o in_o the_o eye_n of_o god_n by_o be_v holy_a as_o he_o be_v holy_a he_o will_v never_o show_v we_o his_o own_o beauty_n for_o they_o must_v be_v beautiful_a themselves_o in_o some_o measure_n that_o enjoy_v such_o a_o beauty_n as_o he_o be_v therefore_o the_o spouse_n in_o the_o cant._n 8.6_o will_v be_v set_v as_o a_o seal_n on_o christ_n heart_n that_o if_o it_o be_v possible_a the_o print_n may_v not_o more_o resemble_v the_o seal_n than_o she_o her_o saviour_n and_o indeed_o this_o be_v the_o prime_a feature_n that_o take_v he_o this_o be_v that_o beauty_n that_o wound_v his_o heart_n cant._n 4.9_o when_o we_o thus_o look_v upon_o our_o saviour_n we_o

be_v it_o be_v so_o attractive_a so_o strong_a so_o prevalent_a but_o while_o you_o labour_v for_o this_o inward_a beauty_n you_o must_v take_v care_n likewise_o for_o the_o outward_a for_o though_o holiness_n make_v her_o glorious_a within_o yet_o if_o we_o neglect_v unity_n and_o order_n her_o clothing_n will_v not_o not_o be_v as_o be_v fit_a for_o the_o king_n daughter_n and_o for_o his_o

behold_v thou_o be_v fair_a thy_o eye_n be_v like_o the_o dove_n and_o so_o pass_v to_o her_o hair_n and_o her_o tooth_n and_o her_o lip_n and_o her_o neck_n and_o her_o breast_n he_o take_v pleasure_n even_o in_o these_o outward_a ornament_n of_o order_n and_o unity_n which_o be_v nothing_o else_o but_o unanimity_n and_o uniformity_n and_o in_o express_a term_n we_o have_v order_n which_o be_v uniformity_n when_o he_o compare_v her_o tooth_n to_o a_o flock_n of_o sheep_n in_o good_a order_n the_o second_o verse_n of_o that_o chapter_n there_o be_v uniformity_n and_o when_o a_o

there_o be_v no_o unity_n this_o be_v her_o neck_n build_v for_o defence_n let_v the_o holy_a church_n of_o god_n be_v beautify_v and_o guard_v with_o unanimity_n and_o uniformity_n and_o they_o

these_o part_n where_o with_o many_o nothing_o but_o singularity_n be_v account_v sanctity_n while_o man_n hold_v of_o this_o man_n and_o of_o that_o man_n of_o this_o church_n and_o of_o that_o

when_o one_o say_v i_o be_o paul_n and_o another_o i_o be_o apollo_n 1_o corinth_n 3._o be_v you_o not_o carnal_a and_o for_o the_o state_n we_o can_v but_o acknowledge_v the_o division_n in_o it_o
