I am my beloved's, and my beloved is mine: he feedeth among the lilies.
I need not detain the Reader over this verse, having already noticed it, Song of Solomon 2:16. to which I refer; unless it be to remark once more, the delight the church takes in the conscious property she hath in Jesus, and Jesus in her. Here, indeed, the form of expression varies from the former; for in that she first calls Christ hers, and then she is his. But here she inverts the order, and declares herself first to be his, and then Christ is hers: but the alteration only serves to point out yet more strongly the mutual property in both.
