Chap. V.
To talke of the time of the Resurrection is not necessarie, but to prepare our selues against
that time so sodaine and so terrible to the vnprepared. 12 He beseecheth the laietie
to be obediens, 14 and the Clergie to be vigilant, vvith many short precepts
mos.
1 And of the times and momentes, brethren,
you neede not that vve vvrite to you.
2 For
your selues knovv perfectly that the day of
our Lord shal so come, as note a theefe in the night.
3 For vvhen they shal say, peace & securitie:
then shal sodaine destruction come vpon them, as the paines
to her that is vvith childe, and they shal not escape.
4 But
you brethren are not in darknesse: that the same day may as a
theefe ouertake you.
5 For al you are the children of light, and children of the
day: vve are not of the night nor of darknesse.
6 Therfore
let vs not sleepe as also others: but let vs vvatch and be
sober.
7 For they that sleepe, sleepe in the night: & they that
be drunke, be drunke in the night.
8 But vve that are of the
day, are sober, note hauing on the breast-plate of faith and note charitie,
and a helmet, the hope of saluation.
9 For God hath
not appointed vs vnto vvrath, but vnto the purchasing of
saluation by our Lord Iesvs Christ,
10 vvho died for vs:
that vvhether vve vvatch, or sleepe, vve may liue together
vvith him.
11 For the vvhich cause comfort one an other: &
edifie one an other, as also you doe.
12 And vve beseeche you brethren, that you vvil knovv
them that labour among you, and that gouerne you in our
Lord, and admonish you:
13 that you haue them more aboud&abar;tly
in charitie for their vvorke. haue peace vvith them.
14 noteAnd vve beseeche you brethren, admonish the vnquiet,
comfort the vveake-minded, beare vp the vveake, be patient
to al.
15 See that note none render euil for euil to any man: but
alvvaies that vvhich is good pursue tovvards eche other, and
tovvards al.
16 Alvvaies reioyce.
17 notePray note vvithout intermission.
18 In al things giue thankes. for this is the vvil of
God in Christ Iesvs in al you.
19 The Spirit extinguish not.
20 Prophecies despise not.
21 But09Q1258 prooue al things: hold that
which is good.
22 From al appearance of euil refraine your
selues.
23 And the God of peace him self sanctifie you in al things:
-- --
that your vvhole spirit, and soule and body vvithout blame
may be preserued in the comming of our Lord Iesvs
Christ. &cross4;
24 He is faithful, that hath called you, vvho also
vvil doe it.
25 Brethren pray for vs.
26 Salute al the brethren
in a holy kisse.
27 I adiure you by our Lord that this epistle
be read to al the holy brethren.
28 The grace of our Lord
Iesvs Christ be vvith you. Amen.
