9 What is then the spike-nard whereof the spouse speaketh in this place, and the smel whereof is most liking and acceptable vnto the Bridegroome? It is first an humble and contrite hart, Psal. 51.17. It is faith and an holy assuraunce in the grace and mercie of God by Iesus Christ alone, without which it is impossible to please God, Heb. 11.6. It is true charity which we vse towardes our neighbors, Phil. 4.18. It is the sacrifice of giuing of thanks, Col. 3.16. Gen. 8.21. In a woorde, it is truly the whole life of a christian, in which we seeke according vnto the measure of the spirite to please him in all things, Col. 1.10. consecrating vnto him both our bodies and mindes in all our actions, Rom. 12.1. and as a sweete smelling sauour vnto the Lord, euerie one following his vocation, 2. Cor. 2.15. Loe this is, this is the odour and perfume which we must bring vnto this banquet, which is also signified by the marriage garment, Mat. 22.11. on paine of beeing cast, handes and feete bound, into vtward darknesse, where there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. |
