SEVERAL years have elapsed since this work was taken in hand. It is at length put into type with the hope that, by God's blessing, it may aid in clearing up one of the lines of interpretation to this mysterious portion of His Holy Word.

In taking a single view of this divine Song, the work of those who have regarded it from different points is not ignored or undervalued. Truth will harmonise in all its bearings, and prove its own witness.

It is hoped these hints and suggestions may lead others to carry on researches, that may further and further tend to the glory of Christ. Thus one talent brought to the exchangers, may be returned with usury to the great Master at His coming.

TO THE GLORY OF THE BELOVED,

WHOSE PERFECTIONS ARE CELEBRATED IN THE

SONG OF SONGS,

AND

TO THE USE AND COMFORT OF THE MYSTIC SPOUSE,

WHOSE PRIVILEGES, DUTIES,

TRIALS AND TRIUMPHS ARE IN IT POURTRAYED,

THIS HUMBLE ATTEMPT

Is Dedicated

WITH PRAYER AND THANKSGIVING.
