The Text.
Because we know the season, how that it is time we should awake now out of sleep.
Because we know the season, how that it is time we should awake now out of sleepe.
Hitherto S. Paul hath taught how christian men should behave them selves, not only towards the public person ⟨image 21⟩the King and Magistrate, whom they be bound to honour & obey: but also towards private persons, that bear no office whom they be bound to love. And that the same obedience, to the higher power and love towards all men, may the better preserve & continue, he addeth now an exhortation to honest living, and Godly conversation, which he taketh metaphorically, or by similitude of the time: saying, it is meet we should live honestly now, for it is time, meaning by the time the season and time, wherein the grace of God in Christ Jesus, is preached and opened to the world, the which should not give us occasion of wickedness and sin: but rather wake us out of our sleep, and to rear us out of sin.
