In the Words we have, (1.) A Duty. (2.) The Reason of it. The one will explain the other.
(1.) For the Duty: What is meant by Watching? Because we are pressed to it upon the account of the uncertain time of Christs Coming, here it meaneth, a care to get and keep our selves always ready, and in a posture to receive him for our Lord, as himself explaineth it, Mat. 24.42. Watch therefore; for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.

(2.) The Reason. For ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of Man cometh. Mat. 24.42. For in such an hour you think not of, the Son of Man cometh.
