19 The ninth place of this conclusion, is of the coming of the lord unto judgement, and of the reward prepared for the good, and appointed torments for the impenitent and wicked for he collecteth at this present, that he treated more diligently and more at large in the .19. and .20. chapt. and other places of this book. And this place before all others he inculcateth and urgeth most earnestly. For it is of great importance, if we both understand it rightly, and ponder it very oft in our minds. For we shall the less licentiously sin, but shall watch more diligently.

For in the Gospel he said: watch, for you know neither the day nor the hour. Your Lord will come at an hour, when you think leest. He feareth therefore the slothful and unclean persons, which comfort themselves, that the Lord shall not come at all, and if he come, that yet it shall be long first, and peradventure never. Against whom he pleading, sayeth how he will come quickly. Against the same also reasoned Malachi in the .3. and .4. chapt. And S. Peter in the .2. the .3. chapt.
