A word of Counsel to Virgin Professors in this Generation;
1. Take heed you do not fall asleep whilst the Bridegroom tarrieth, (or rather only seems to delay his coming) as they did, Matth. 25.5, 6. They all slumbered and slept, until a midnight Dispensation, a Cry did awaken them out of their carnal security, when being at ease in Zion, they became formal, lukewarm, and worldly, minding earthly things more than heavenly, and seeking their own things more than the things of Christ.
1. Take heed you do not fall asleep whilst the Bridegroom tarryeth, (or rather only seems to delay his coming) as they did, Matth. 25.5, 6. They all slumbred and slept, until a midnight Dispensation, a Cry did awaken them out of their carnal security, when being at ease in Zion, they became formal, lukewarm, and worldly, minding earthly things more than heavenly, and seeking their own things more than the things of Christ.
2. Prepare your selves for that time of Tribulation, which shall come before Christ come, Matth. 24.21, 29, 30. It's called an hour of Temptation, which shall come upon all the World to try them that dwell upon the Earth, Rev. 3. It will come upon the Jews, Dan. 12.1, 2, 3. and upon the Gentiles,
