Insitio amoris.

Cant. 2.
Fructus eius dulcis gutturi
meo.[Bible

, Song of Solomon 2:3]

Gregor.
in Cant. 2.
Arbor quippe Christus ipsa fru-
ctifera in corde nostro planta-
ta per fidem existit; quam si
mens nostra dignè diligit &
instanter excolit, fructus, ni-
mirum interiùs, pulchros &
vtiles gignit: quos dum mens
capiens indè comedit, omnes
mundi voluptates præ eius
dulcedine postponit.

Entement d’amovr.

Arbre d’Amour, que l’Amant mesme
plante,
Et d’vn surgeon de ses delices ente,
Quand sera donc la saison de tes fruicts?
Ce sera lors qu’vne vie plus douce,
Libre d’hyuer, d’orage, & de secousse,
Fera meurir l’aigreur de mes ennuis.
