THE PARABLE of the TEN VIRGINS UNFOLDED; Out of MATTH. 25. from the Ist Vers. to the 14th.
1. Then shall the Kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten Virgins, which took their Lamps, and went forth to meet the Bridegroom. 2. And five of them were wise, and five were foolish. 3. They that were foolish took their Lamps, and took no oil with them. 4. But the wise •ook oil in their vessels with their Lamps. 5. While the Bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept. 6. And at mid-night there was a cry made, Behold the Bridegroom cometh, go ye out to meet him. 7. Then all those Virgins arose and trimmed their Lamps. 8. And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil, for our Lamps are gone out. 9. But the wise answered saying, not so, lest there be not enough for us and you, but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for your selves. 10. And while they went to buy, the Bridegroom came, and they that were ready […] in with him to the marriage, and the door was shut. 11. Afterward came also the other Virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us. 12. But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not. 13. Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day, nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.
