Chri. If we consider well the history of the ten virgins,1 it shall easily be perceived, that no man have scarcely oil enough for him self. Yea, were not the great mercies of God set forth to all faithful penitent sinners in the precious blood of Christ: we with all our oil, should perish. For everlasting life is the gift of God,2 through Jesus Christ our Lord. If thou (O Lord) shouldest narrowly look upon our iniquities, (saith the Psalmograph) O Lord who were able to abide it?3 But there is mercy with the in store. &c.
