§. 132. Of superstitious watching for Christs comming.
2 Right watching unto prayer is to be noted against a superstitious practise of many,1 whom I have known to use to sit up all night at certain times of the year, keeping themselves awake with talking one with another, playing on instruments, singing and the like, upon a conceit that Christ will come in judgement on some of those nights of the year, and they would not then be found asleep, but awake, because Christ said, gWake for you know not what hour your Master will come.
