[PARALLEL] Christ is said to be “white and ruddy” Song of Solomon 5:10My beloved is white and ruddy, the chiefest among ten thousand. See All.... Some understand thereby his two natures, by the white his divinity, by the red his humanity: the one denotes his natural purity and innocency; the other, his bloody agony and suffering for our sakes; hence said to be “red in thine apparel” Isaiah 63:2Wherefore art thou red in thine apparel, and thy garments like him that treadeth in the winefat? See All.... No object so delightful to the eye, as Jesus Christ is in his exaltation, appearing at the Father’s right hand for us. True and evangelical sights of Christ delight the eye, and ravish the soul of a believer. Christ is a perfect and complete beauty. [METAPHOR] 
A Rose is a beautiful flower, very pleasant and delightful to the eye, of different colors, red and white, and in some curiously joined and intermixed together, red and white; shows an excellent complexion, and makes up a perfect beauty.
