1The third Watch is not yet ended; remember that Christ Jesus came not to his disciples till it was the fourth Watch: and they were then in no less danger then you be now; for their faith fainted, and their bodies were in danger. But Christ Jesus came when they looked not for him; and so shall he do to you, if you will continue in the profession that you have made. This dare I be bold to promise, in the Name of him whose Eternal Verity and glorious Gospel ye have heard and received: who also putteth into my heart an earnest thirst (God knoweth I lie not) of your salvation, and some care also for your bodies, which now I will not express.
