] Here now the Spouse assigneth a fourth cause of her blackness. The question here is, what is meant by her own Vineyard? It is manifestly to be understood of something which the Lord had committed to her to keep, considering the Church as the Spouse. The Oracles of God were committed to the Church of the Jews (as the Apostle telleth us, Rom. 3. 2. and the Church is called, The pillar and ground of Truth, 1 Tim. 3. 15. Paul tell us. 1 Tim. 1. 11. that the glorious Gospel of the blessed God was committed to his trust, and telleth Timothy the Ministry was committed to his trust. St. Paul calls it his Gospel upon this account, Rom. 26. 25. and saith they were put in trust with the Gospel, that is, the Custody and Ministration of it. And St. Paul commandeth Timothy to commit the things which he had heard of him, amongst many witnesses to faithful men, who should be able to teach others. |
