Note, The difficulty of most of these foregoing Texts, forbids me to be peremptory in determining, whether they spake only of the destruction of Jerusalem, (as in Mark, the Question seemeth to intimate;) Or also of the End of the World, (as some words in the Answer seem to intimate.) And I incline to think, that as the Types and Prophecies of the Old Testament, spake proximately of the things and persons Typifying, but remotely and chiefly thereby of Christ, and the things Typified: so these Texts speak, first of the destruction of Jerusalem; and next, of the Calling of the Gentiles, and Catholic Church; but thereby finally and chiefly, of the End of the World: As if Christ said, As it will be here now, so it will be then, parabolically.

42. Watch therefore, for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.
This therefore is the necessary wisdom of all, to be as men on their watch, never a sleep, or mindless; but always ready, as expecting the Coming of your Lord: And then, though you understand not all Circumstances before hand, you shall be safe.
