A garden enclosed is my sister, my spouse; a spring shut up, a fountain sealed.
All Commentaries on Song of Songs 4:12 Go To Song of Songs 4
Richard Challoner
AD 1781
A garden enclosed: Figuratively the church is enclosed, containing only the faithful.
A fountain sealed up: That none can drink of its waters, that is, the graces and spiritual benefits of the holy sacraments, but those who are within its walls.
