Thus much we may well know, that the Lord will come, that all flesh shall appear before him: that the world, the heaven, the earth, the sun, and the moon shall have an end: that the day of the Lord shall come suddenly, as a Thief in the night. This warning GOD hath given us, that we should not be taken unawares, but that we repent, and stand in readiness, and watch, and ⟨p. 187⟩pray, that we may be caught up into the clouds to meet our redeemer.
