Tennent begins this sermon, "On the spouse's search for Christ in Canticles 3," by citing verses 1-5: By night on my bed I sought him whom my soul loveth: I sought him, but I found him not. I will rise now, and go about the city in the streets, and in the broad ways I will seek him whom my soul loveth: I sought him, but I found him not. The watchmen that go about the city found me: to whom I said, Saw ye him whom my soul loveth? It was but a little that I passed from them, but I found him whom my soul loveth: I held him, and would not let him go, until I had brought him into my mother's house, and into the chamber of her that conceived me. I charge you, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, by the roes, and by the hinds of the field, that ye stir not up, nor awake my love, till he please. (Canticles is another name for Song of Solomon.) From dates noted in the manuscript, it looks like Tennent wrote this sermon in 1757, then delivered it again in 1761.
