the_o lip_n of_o he_o that_o be_v asleep_a to_o speak_v by_o this_o similitude_n signify_v that_o the_o word_n of_o god_n in_o the_o custody_n of_o the_o church_n and_o deliver_v by_o her_o ministry_n be_v like_a to_o wine_n that_o sparkle_v upward_o and_o which_o work_v so_o powerful_o be_v the_o word_n of_o life_n that_o even_o the_o dead_a hear_v the_o voice_n of_o god_n therein_o be_v awaken_v and_o have_v their_o mouth_n open_v to_o speak_v to_o his_o praise_n these_o be_v the_o chief_a similitude_n whereby_o solomon_n in_o that_o most_o excellent_a song_n call_v therefore_o the_o song_n of_o song_n that_o be_v the_o most_o excellent_a of_o all_o song_n whereby_o i_o say_v solomon_n in_o that_o most_o divine_a song_n general_o set_v forth_o the_o excellency_n of_o the_o whole_a church_n and_o the_o which_o may_v be_v apply_v to_o every_o particular_a member_n of_o the_o same_o in_o respect_n therefore_o of_o these_o similitude_n we_o may_v well_o conclude_v again_o the_o state_n of_o all_o the_o child_n of_o god_n to_o be_v the_o more_o excellent_a beside_o these_o let_v we_o also_o brief_o consider_v of_o some_o other_o similitude_n whereby_o in_o other_o respect_v

who_o hope_n the_o lord_n be_v such_o be_v the_o child_n of_o god_n for_o he_o shall_v be_v as_o a_o tree_n that_o be_v plant_v by_o the_o water_n which_o spread_v out_o her_o root_n by_o the_o
