of his Mother vpon the day of his espousall And therfore because according to the history it cannot agree to Salomon who was a sinner we must necessarily since the Scripture cannot speake vntruth vnderst and it of another true Salomon who was Christ and that with great reason For Salomon doth signify peaceable that name was imposed vpon him because he made no warrs in his time as his Father Dauid had done And therfore God was not pleased that Dauid who was a (f) Not of cruelty towards his subiects but of conquest ouer his enemyes man of bloud but his peaceable Sonne should build that famous Temple of Hierusalem wherein he would be adored Now if the name of peaceable were imposed vpon Salomon because he was peaceable according to the peace of the world which sometymes wicked Kinges maintaine vpon how much more reason is this name due (g) Christ our Lord is the true Salomon the true Prince Peace to Christ who made the spirituall peace betweene God and ma● to his owne so great cost the paine of all our sinnes which caused the emnity betweene God and vs falling headlong vpon him He also made peace betweene those people which had been so contrary to one another namely the Iewes and Gentils taking away that wal of emnity which stood betweene them as S. Paul sayth That is to say the Ceremonies of the old Law and the Idolatry of the Gentills To the end that both the one the other hauing left their particularityes and th●se rites which they deriued from their ancestou●● might submit themselues to the new Law vnder one Fayth one Baptisme and one Lord hoping ●o participate the same inheritance as being all the sonnes of one Father of heauen who begot the● a second tyme by water and the Holy Gho●● with more honour and aduantage then they were engendred before of flesh by their Fathers to misery and shame All these blessinges came by Christ Iesus who is the pacifyer of heauen a●d earth and of one people with another and of a man with himselfe whose warre as it is m●●● troublesome so the peace is more desired Th●● peace could not be made by the other Salomon but he had the name of the true pacifier only in figure as the peace of Salomon which was temporall is a figure and shaddow of that which as spirituall and which hath no end If then thou do well remember O thou spouse of Christ which in reason thou must neuer forget the Mother of this true Salomon who was and is the blessed Virgin Mary thou shalt find her to haue crowned him with a fayre garland giuing him flesh without any sinne vpon the day of the Incarnation which was the day of the coniunction and espousall of the diuine word with his sacred humanity and of the word being made man with his Church which Church we are From that sacred wombe did Christ issue as a spouse who riseth from his bed of state and he beginneth (h) Psalm 18. to runne his Carriere like a strong Giant taking the worke of our redemption to hart which was the hardest thinge that he could enterprise And at the end of this Carriere he did vpon the day of our Good fryday espouse (i) Christ espoused the Church to himselfe vpon the Crosse his Church by wordes de prasenti For which he had taken paines as (k) Genes 19. Iacob did for Rachel And then was she drawne out of his side when he was reposing in the sleepe of death as (l) Gen. 2. Eue was out of Adams whylest he slept And for this worke so excellent and of so great loue which in that day was wrought Christ called that day his day when he saith in the (m) Ioan. 8. Ghospell Your Father Abraham reioyced to see my day he saw it he reioyced thereat Which was accomplished as S Chrysostome saith when the death of Christ was reuealed to Abraham by the resemblance of his sonne Isaac whome God commaunded him to (n) Genes 22. sacrifice in the mount Moria which is mount Sion Then did he see this painefull day and he reioyced at it But at what did he reioyce was it perhaps at the scourges at the● afflictions and at the torments of Christ No it is certayne that the affliction of Christ was so great as to be sufficient for the making of any hart though neuer so cheerefull to be euen oppressed with compassion And if you belieue not me let those three beloued Apostles tell you this truth to whome he said My (o) Watt. 10. Mare 14. soule is sad euen to the death What did their hartes feele in themselues at the sound of that word which vseth to wound their hart with the sharpe knife of sorrow who heare it spoken but a farre off And his scourges torments nayles and Crosse were so full of torment to him that whosoeuer should see them though he had a most inflexible hart could not choose but be moued by them Yea I know not but that those very wretches that tormented him seing his meekenesse in suffering and their owne cruelty in afflicting must needs sometymes haue compassion of one that suffered so much and euen for them though they knew not that Yf therefore they who abhorred Christ might be afflicted by the sight of his torments vnlesse their hartes were made of hardest stone how shall we say of a man who was so greately Gods friend as Abraham was that he reioyced to see the day whereon Christ was to endure so much CHAP. LXIX Wherein he prose●uteth that of the former Chapter pondereth this passage of the Canticles in contemplation of the passion of Christ. BVT that thou mayst not meruaile so much at this do thou hearken to another thing yet more strange and which is expressed by these wordes of the Canticles That this garland was put vpon his heade in the day of the ioy or triumph of his hart The day of his so excessiue griefe as that no tongue is able to vnfold it doest thou call the day of his ioy And that no ioy which was counterfaite and exteriour only but they call it the day of the ioy of his very hart O (a) Note and learne hereby to loue God thou ioy of the Angells and thou full riuer of their delight in whose face they desyre to looke by whose most puissant waters they are swallowed vp by finding themselues within thee and by swimming in that ouer abounding sweetnesse of thyne and what is that at which thy hart reioyceth in this day of thyne afflictions At what doest thou reioyce in the middest of those scourges those nayles that dishonour that death Is it true perhaps that they did not afflict thee Yes verily they did afflict thee and more thee then they could haue afflicted any other though it were but euen for the delicacy of thy complexiō But because our miseries do afflict thee yet more then thyne owne
