Let him kiss me — drama reminder; historical vs spiritual

Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth. We must remember what we warned in the preface: this little book, having the look of an epithalamium, is written in the manner of a drama. We said a drama is where certain persons are brought on who speak, and others sometimes come forward, others withdraw or approach, and so the whole is carried on in changes of persons. This, then, will be the form of the whole little book, and according to it a historical exposition will be fitted by us as we are able. But the spiritual understanding will, the Lord granting, be opened in what follows.
