Fourthly, it is most certain, that GOD hath kept from us the knowledge of our dying day, because we should continually watch, and be prepared for it with the oil of good works in our Lamps of faith, clearly burning, to light in the Bridegroom whensoever he knocketh. Therefore it is written:1 Gird up the loins of your mind, awake, and be ye also ready with your lights burning, and ye your selves like unto men that wait for their master.
