Son 1:11 We will make thee borders of gold with studs of silver.
Ver. 11. We will make thee borders of gold with studs of silver.] We, the whole Trinity, will join together, as we do in all our works ad extra, in framing for thee these glorious ornaments, in putting upon thee our own comeliness, {Eze 16:11-14} in increasing and embellishing thy graces, thy pure gold of holiness, with silver specks, studs, or embroidery. Thus the spouse promiseth, to make his bride, though he find her fair and fine, much fairer and finer by an addition of more and more graces and gifts, both ordinary and extraordinary, till she be "transformed into the same image from glory to glory." He will spare for neither gold nor silver to beautify her, such is his abundant love unto her. He clothes her with the particoloured {a} garment of a great variety {b} of graces, and this he borders with gold, and bespangles with silver. Her clothing is of "wrought gold," far more stately and costly than that of Esther in all her beauty and bravery; than that of Dionysius, whose mantle was sold to the Carthaginians for a hundred and twenty talents; {c} than that royal robe of Demetrius, King of Macedonia, that was so massive and magnificent that none of his successors would ever wear it, Propter invidiosam impendii magniflcentiam, for the unparalleled sumptuousness thereof.
