bridegroom_n unto_o the_o bride_n the_o church_n of_o god_n be_v commend_v for_o diverse_a thing_n in_o the_o canticle_n first_o for_o her_o dove_n eye_n that_o be_v to_o say_v her_o simplicity_n and_o sincerity_n of_o mind_n and_o judgement_n which_o be_v give_v she_o by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n which_o be_v signify_v by_o the_o similitude_n and_o shape_n of_o a_o dove_n second_o for_o her_o

do_v grow_v on_o the_o head_n so_o the_o truth_n which_o we_o have_v and_o receive_v from_o our_o head_n christ_n do_v take_v fast_o root_n and_o increase_v in_o we_o now_o it_o grow_v and_o increase_v in_o we_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o preacher_n of_o the_o gospel_n which_o be_v as_o it_o be_v the_o hair_n of_o this_o head_n which_o depend_v on_o christ_n the_o true_a head_n of_o the_o church_n and_o the_o hair_n of_o this_o head_n of_o the_o spouse_n be_v very_o proper_o &_o fit_o compare_v unto_o goat_n hair_n because_o while_o they_o attend_v whole_o unto_o the_o precept_n of_o the_o law_n and_o meditate_v upon_o nothing_o but_o upon_o heavenly_a thing_n they_o be_v clean_a creature_n which_o feed_v in_o high_a steep_a place_n and_o by_o gilead_n which_o be_v as_o much_o to_o say_v by_o interpretation_n as_o a_o heap_n of_o testimony_n be_v mean_v the_o multitude_n of_o martyr_n which_o confirm_v christ_n doctrine_n by_o their_o death_n and_o passion_n thy_o tooth_n be_v like_o a_o flock●_n of_o sheep_n in_o good_a order_n which_o go_v up_o from_o the_o wash_n which_o every_o one_o bring_v out_o twin_n and_o none_o be_v barren_a among_o they_o thy_o tooth_n the_o tooth_n be_v the_o power_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n by_o the_o which_o the_o true_a bishop_n do_v overcome_v the_o wicked_a and_o crush_v they_o in_o piece_n by_o the_o preach_n of_o the_o word_n and_o christian_a conversation_n and_o either_o convert_v and_o turn_v they_o to_o the_o truth_n or_o else_o confirm_v and_o establish_v they_o in_o the_o truth_n by_o the_o power_n of_o the_o aforesaid_a word_n again_o the_o bishop_n be_v tooth_n because_o they_o reprehend_v and_o reprove_v the_o wicked_a by_o the_o word_n of_o truth_n and_o make_v they_o member_n of_o god_n holy_a church_n moreover_o they_o be_v tooth_n to_o break_v &_o bruise_v the_o bread_n of_o doctrine_n so_o that_o it_o may_v be_v food_n for_o the_o weak_a and_o the_o tooth_n of_o the_o church_n be_v describe_v to_o be_v like_a unto_o sheep_n after_o they_o be_v wash_v and_o shear_v because_o the_o spirit_n of_o truth_n do_v make_v the_o true_a professor_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o general_o all_o the_o faithful_a to_o become_v pure_a innocent_a &_o simple_a or_o harmless_a as_o sheep_n neither_o be_v they_o barren_a or_o fruitless_a because_o as_o the_o sheep_n they_o bring_v forth_o twin_n &_o always_o abound_v in_o all_o manner_n of_o good_a work_n thy_o lip_n be_v like_o a_o thred●_n of_o scarlet_a and_o thy_o talk_n be_v comely_a thy_o temple_n be_v within_o thy_o lo●kes_n as_o a_o piece_n of_o a_o pomegranate_n again_o the_o church_n be_v commend_v for_o her_o lip_n that_o be_v to_o say_v for_o her_o word_n and_o her_o lip_n be_v say_v to_o be_v red_a because_o all_o her_o speech_n tend_v only_o to_o this_o end_n &_o purpose_n to_o set_v forth_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n our_o saviour_n red_a with_o blood_n for_o the_o salvation_n of_o the_o elect_a and_o her_o word_n be_v fiery_a hot_a with_o zeal_n and_o faith_n not_o know_v how_o to_o l●e_z but_o able_a to_o overcome_v the_o false_a and_o lie_a brethren_n and_o by_o her_o cheek_n be_v signify_v modesty_n and_o shamefastness_n because_o when_o a_o man_n be_v ashamed_a he_o blush_v or_o his_o cheek_n do_v look_v red_a and_o because_o the_o pomegranate_n be_v red_a in_o hue_n therefore_o it_o may_v be_v most_o fit_o apply_v unto_o the_o passion_n of_o christ_n now_o because_o the_o church_n be_v not_o ashamed_a of_o christ_n cross_n but_o rejoice_v rathe●_n in_o her_o passion_n and_o persecution_n which_o sh●_n be_v to_o suffer_v for_o his_o sake_n and_o be_v wont_v to_o bear●_n the_o sign_n of_o the_o cross_n very_o patient_o therefore_o it_o be_v well_o say_v that_o her_o cheek_n wer●_n like_o a_o pomegranate_n &_o especial_o like_o a_o piece_n of_o pomegranate_n because_o the_o red_a part_n of_o it_o be_v hide_v and_o the_o white_a only_o be_v see_v and_o as_o the_o number_n of_o grain_n which_o be_v in_o a_o pomegranate_n can_v be_v see_v unless_o the_o pomegranate_n be_v break_v or_o bruise_v in_o piece_n so_o likewise_o the_o virtue_n and_o power_n of_o the_o church_n be_v not_o
