As much as Christs person is more excellent then Moses, and his authority above his; and the heavenly clearness of Christs gracious offer, above his dark types: as much more heavy and certain wrath shall overtake the despisers of his Doctrine, (the refusers, or (as the word importeth) shifters off of Christ) then the despisers of Moses Law.

Turtle]
;;A Bird so called, being of Doves the least, a lovely, delightful, harmless, simple, and chaste fowle. Jer. 8. 7. Even the Turtle and the Swallow observe their times. The Prophet hereby accuseth the Jews of blockishness, having lesse understanding in heavenly matters, then Birds and Beasts, in discerning their seasons of heat, cold, &c.
;;2. The Church of God in earth, being like a Turtle. Psal. 74. 19. Give not the soul of thy Turtle, &c. A Metaphor. As the Turtle, so the true Church of God on earth is small, weak, unarmed, exposed to many dangers, from beastly ravenous men; yet remaineth meek and innocent, both by imputed and inherent innocency, whereby she is still amiable to Christ her husband, and all her children, though hated and persecuted of the world.
It was to be offered up unto the Lord, Lev. 1. 14. & 5. 7. & 12. 6. & 14. 22, 30. If either male or female die, the other continueth chaste, maketh choyce of no other. The female after the death of the male loveth solitariness. It will not light upon any filthy thing, nor upon a dead …. Its voyce is not at all times one and the same. In the Summer it's seen and heard, not in the Winter. It's …, loving to its own kinde, entertaining peace with other Birds. In the Winter it casteth the feathers, which again grow against the Spring.
Turtle]
The voice of the Turtle is heard in our …, Cant. 2. 12. The Church it self is sometime meant by the Turtle, Psal. 74. 19. and the Dove, Cant. 2. 14. & 5. 2. sometime the holy Ghost with his graces, is resembled by a Dove, as at our Lords Baptism, Mat. 3 16. and thus the … expoundeth it here, the voyce of the holy Ghost. So it signifieth the voyce of the Spirit in the people of Christ, mutually comforting one another, and joyntly praising God, with and for his graces. The Turtle Dove casting her feathers, is said to hide her self in Winter in holes of trees, her voyce therefore being now heard, signifieth that Summer was come. Ayasworth.
It signified, a mourning and contrite heart: whose groanings though many and grievous, yet are musick in his ears; and sweet evidences both of his Spirit abiding in us, and of the work of grace, like a new and lively Spring, begun by it. Annot.
That is, of Christ the faithful Spouse of his Church, who is mourning in Judea, because he findeth not his Mate (the Church) there. Cotton.
Now is the time of that heavenly melody, which the cheerful Saints and Angels make in mine ears, while they sing songs of deliverance, and praise me with their Allelujahs, and say, Glory to God on high, in earth peace, good will towards men. Hall.
This bird is in the Original called Toor (whereof the Latine by duplication hath Turtur) which appellatively is Order, as if this bird before other birds, should be a bird of Order. It's a kinde of Dove, addicted to the Desert and solitary places, true to the mate, whose song is mixed with a groaning sadness, in the … season coucheth in some trees hollow trunk, coming forth in the Spring, with his troubled Cantillation. What bird of Order must this be, that with his sad song doth order all the birds? It is no other but he that in Levit. 1. 14. & 5. 7. is appointed for burnt sacrifice, even … himself, who during the Laws winter was couched under shadows, and lay therein as dead, but together with the Gentiles time of vocation did step forth, shewed himself in our nature, (Beda understandeth by the Turtle Christs humanity) sung personally to the Jews, and first fruits of the Gentiles, but Ministerially to their successors by substitutes, yet whether in himself or others, all … the Turtles voyce; a voyce that may be discerned by his sad gladness, or glad sadness. ….
