A86422	Practicall divinity: or a helpe through the blessing of God to lead men more to look within themselves, and to unite experienced Christians in the bond and fellowship of the Spirit. / Delivered in sundry exercises lately spoken by Cap. Paul Hobson, upon these texts. Published by an hearty wellwiller to peace and unity among the dissenting godly, and to the promotion of spirituall and experimentall truths, without affectation of opinions, or prejudice against persons. Tending as to the edification of the reader chiefly : so also, somewhat in vindication of the authour.	Hobson, Paul.	1646 (1646)	Wing H2275; Thomason E1167_3; ESTC R208788	40,074	124

these_o word_n on_o the_o forego_n word_n but_o so_o much_o dependence_n there_o be_v that_o as_o you_o may_v see_v in_o the_o former_a word_n that_o the_o daughter_n of_o jerusalem_n inquire_v of_o the_o spouse_n of_o christ_n where_o her_o belove_a be_v she_o have_v so_o set_v he_o out_o and_o express_v her_o ardent_a affection_n to_o he_o that_o they_o begin_v to_o wonder_v &_o desire_v to_o

whether_o be_v thy_o belove_a turn_v aside_o that_o we_o may_v seek_v he_o with_o thou_o she_o answer_v they_o in_o the_o next_o verse_n my_o belove_a be_v go_v down_o into_o his_o garden_n to_o the_o

next_o word_n begin_v to_o describe_v and_o set_v out_o what_o his_o spouse_n be_v and_o anotomize_v she_o in_o all_o her_o portraiture_n and_o beauty_n not_o only_o how_o beutifull_a she_o be_v to_o he_o and_o amiable_a through_o his_o beauty_n put_v upon_o she_o but_o also_o how_o fruitful_a his_o spouse_n be_v in_o the_o enjoy_n her_o belove_a that_o there_o be_v not_o one_o barren_a among_o they_o so_o amiable_a every_o way_n that_o christ_n be_v ravish_v with_o her_o beauty_n therefore_o say_v he_o turn_v away_o thy_o eye_n from_o i_o for_o they_o have_v overcome_v i_o but_o then_o this_o description_n may_v breed_v this_o objection_n be_v all_o so_o beutifull_a and_o comely_a be_v all_o so_o fruitful_a that_o there_o it_o not_o on_o barren_a among_o they_o they_o be_v several_a and_o of_o several_a temper_n and_o judgement_n nether_a do_v they_o all_o appear_v so_o fruitful_a as_o he_o describe_v he_o answer_v all_o in_o this_o nine_o verse_n my_o dove_n my_o undefiled_a be_v but_o one_o all_o saint_n in_o christ_n be_v but_o one_o man_n of_o the_o world_n and_o poor_a saint_n weak_a

saint_n that_o see_v not_o their_o privilege_n by_o christ_n they_o be_v ready_a to_o say_v how_o can_v this_o be_v that_o the_o spouse_n of_o christ_n be_v so_o beutifull_a so_o fruitful_a they_o

for_o all_o that_o though_o among_o themselves_o they_o be_v divers_a yet_o in_o christ_n they_o be_v but_o one_o you_o it_o be_v true_a make_v a_o difference_n but_o that_o shall_v not_o be_v this_o be_v but_o the_o folly_n and_o weakness_n of_o man_n but_o see_v and_o look_v upon_o they_o as_o they_o be_v in_o christ_n and_o you_o shall_v see_v they_o be_v one_o to_o he_o as_o they_o be_v in_o he_o and_o live_v with_o he_o and_o in_o he_o they_o be_v fruitful_a though_o not_o as_o they_o be_v in_o themselves_o the_o point_n that_o i_o apprehend_v these_o word_n hold_v forth_o be_v these_o 1_o doct._n that_o christ_n church_n be_v christ_n dove_n 2_o d._n christ_n church_n be_v christ_n undefiled_a dove_n 3_o doct._n that_o christ_n church_n or_o christ_n dove_n be_v not_o divide_v

his_o very_a heart_n he_o never_o leave_v a_o saint_n till_o he_o bring_v it_o from_o step_n to_o step_v by_o degree_n into_o himself_o that_o the_o soul_n be_v so_o leap_v up_o in_o he_o that_o he_o
