I smell this flowr, or taste that fruit.Go, virgins, seek this tree, and search that bowr;0 how my soul shall bless that happy hour,That brings to me such fruit, that brings me sucha flowr! * Jesses; jessamine> alluding to Christ, the Son of Jesse. 100 EMBLEMS BOOK V. Gist en. in Cap. ii. Cant. Expos. 3.O happy sickuess, where the infirmity is not todeath, but to life, that God may be glorified by it!0 happy fever, that proceedeth not from a con-suming, but a calcining, fire! O happy distemper,wherein the soul relisheth no earthly things, butonly savoureth divine nourishment! S. Bern. Serm. li. in Cant.By flowers understand faith; by fruit, goodworks. As the flower or blossom is before thefruit, so is faith before good works : so neither isthe fruit without the flower, nor good works with-out faith.
