Creatures have their instincts — there is a natural 83 instinct in every creature to that which feeds it. Bees go naturally to the flowers by an instinct ; so the spiritual soul that hath the life of Christ, runs to whatsoever may feed and maintain that life. All the creatures, as soon as they are born, run they know whither to go to suck, because that is ordained by nature for their preservation ; so there is an instinct in the soul to carry it to that which feeds and maintains it. *' HIS MOUT...H IS MOST SWEET; YEA, HE IS ALTO- GETHER LOVELY. THIS IS MY BELOVED, AND THIS IS MY FRIEND, O DAUGHTERS OF JERU- SALEM." — Cant. v. 16. Let a swarm be hived ever so orderly, and the hive before-hand rubbed and prepared carefully, let it be covered and shadowed from the sun, and in a word, in the best manner accommodated, yet if the queen bee be wanting, there is nothing but discontent, confusion, and hurly-burly, and after a hopeless search, a final departure ; whereas, a mean habitation with her presence will give full content and satisfaction.
