In odorem unguentorum. In consideratione miraculorum. Introduxit me rex, etc. Sponsa in penetrale sponsi ingressa revertitur ad juvenculas, et nuntiat illis: Introduxit me. Vel, per spem in æternam beatitudinem induxit, pluraliter, pro omnimoda bonorum copia, quasi jam dulcedinem regni cœlestis prælibavi, quæ mihi in cœlis parata sunt, ipso revelante cognovi: moxque ad eum conversa, qui sibi hoc revelat, gratias agit pro beneficiis.

Exsultabimus et lætabimur. Quasi diceret: Non de perceptis muneribus ipsi nos extollimus, sed te: memores per omnia quanta pietate austeritatem legis, gratia fidei evangelicæ mitigare dignatus es: ideo non in nobis, sed in te exsultabimus, quia recti omnes diligunt te, et super omnia diligendum didicerunt.
