xxxi. Christe to his Spouse.
The argument.
Because
the Churche shoulde cum the more spedely from
all confidence in herselfe, to truste wholly in Christe: her
Beloued shewyng why he called her, addeth great promises,
whiche (yf she cum to hym) he wyl perfourme, syngyng.
If that thou cum from Libanus to me,
Thou shalt be crouned from Amana mount:
From God, the hye top, crouned shalt thou be
With truth, whose heygth al hye thynges doeth surmount.
From Sanirs top, and eke from Hermon hie,
The curses whiche thou shalt sustayne of men,
Thou shalt be crounde from euery dignitie,
From the Leoperdes mount, and from the Lyons den.
