A commentary or, exposition upon the divine second epistle general, writtenA commentary or, exposition vpon the diuine second epistle generall, written

Vigilancie: a serious project, which we can hardly drive to our desired Issue, takes sleep from our eyes. The best plot is to be saved, to appease Gods anger, to get remission of our sins: yet we are supini and sopiti, fast asleep, though this be undone. Christ said unto Peter, ^lSimon, sleepest thou? Is Judas waking, the Pharisees walking, the soldiers banding, the devils urging, the Son of man betraying, the great work of redemption accomplishing; and Sleepest thou? So is Satan provoking, thy flesh ready to yield the fort, sin at the door, and Judgement not far off, and sleepest thou O Christian? When Abraham received the woefullest charge, that was ever given to father, concerning his only son; he^m rose early to do it. On the week-days every man riseth early to his trade; on the Lords day, when the business of their souls is specially in hand, men usually sleep their fills.
