this_o exhortation_n to_o watchfulness_n in_o these_o word_n let_v your_o loin_n be_v gird_v about_o and_o your_o light_n burn_v and_o you_o yourselves_o like_v unto_o man_n that_o wait_v for_o their_o master_n when_o he_o shall_v return_v from_o the_o wedding_n that_o when_o he_o come_v and_o knock_v they_o may_v open_v unto_o he_o immediate_o bless_a be_v those_o servant_n who_o the_o master_n when_o he_o come_v shall_v find_v wake_v very_o i_o say_v unto_o you_o he_o will_v gird_v himself_o about_o and_o make_v they_o to_o sit_v down_o at_o table_n and_o will_v come_v forth_o and_o serve_v they_o now_o if_o he_o come_v in_o the_o second_o watch_n or_o come_v in_o the_o three_o watch_n and_o shall_v find_v they_o so_o bless_a be_v those_o servant_n then_o follow_v that_o of_o the_o householder_n watch_v against_o the_o come_n of_o the_o thief_n as_o we_o have_v see_v already_o from_o the_o report_n of_o the_o evangelist_n matthew_n which_o after_o the_o evangelist_n luke_n have_v set_v down_o verse_n 29_o 4●_n of_o this_o 1●_n chapter_n than_o it_o follow_v thus_o verse_n 41._o etc._n etc._n then_o peter_n say_v unto_o he_o master_n tell_v thou_o this_o parable_n unto_o we_o or_o even_o to_o all_o and_o the_o lord_n say_v who_o be_v a_o faithful_a steward_n and_o wise_a who_o the_o master_n shall_v make_v ruler_n over_o his_o household_n to_o give_v they_o their_o portion_n of_o meat_n in_o season_n bless_a be_v that_o servant_n etc._n etc._n as_o we_o have_v see_v before_o how_o it_o follow_v in_o s._n matthew_n but_o s._n luke_n continue_v the_o speech_n of_o our_o saviour_n further_o than_o s._n matthew_n do_v as_o it_o follow_v in_o the_o 47_o &_o 48._o verse_n in_o these_o word_n and_o that_o servant_n that_o know_v his_o master_n will_n and_o prepare_v not_o himself_o neither_o do_v according_a to_o his_o will_n shall_v be_v beat_v with_o many_o stripe_n but_o he_o that_o know_v it_o not_o and_o commit_v thing_n worthy_a of_o stripe_n shall_v be_v beat_v with_o few_o stripe_n for_o unto_o whosoever_o much_o be_v give_v shall_v much_o be_v require_v and_o they_o will_v ask_v the_o more_o of_o he_o to_o who_o trust_n they_o have_v commit_v much_o so_o then_o by_o compare_v matthew_n with_o luke_n we_o see_v that_o whereas_o our_o saviour_n require_v diligent_a preparation_n and_o watchfulness_n of_o all_o christian_n and_o therewith_o wisdom_n also_o from_o his_o word_n that_o they_o be_v neither_o ignorant_a nor_o slothful_a as_o he_o signify_v by_o the_o gird_v up_o of_o their_o loin_n after_o the_o manner_n of_o that_o country_n when_o any_o be_v ready_a to_o take_v their_o journey_n and_o by_o the_o light_n burn_v in_o their_o hand_n lest_o they_o shall_v loose_v their_o right_a way_n by_o occasion_n of_o peter_n question_n he_o apply_v this_o admonition_n chief_o to_o the_o minister_n of_o the_o word_n who_o he_o compare_v to_o the_o steward_n of_o the_o house_n in_o who_o be_v require_v special_a wisdom_n to_o the_o order_n of_o their_o master_n affair_n and_o special_a faithfulness_n in_o the_o performance_n of_o those_o duty_n which_o they_o stand_v bind_v unto_o according_a to_o that_o of_o our_o saviour_n at_o another_o time_n be_v you_o wise_a as_o serpent_n and_o simple_a as_o dove_n and_o as_o the_o apostle_n paul_n write_v in_o the_o name_n of_o our_o saviour_n christ_n 1._o cor._n ch_n 4.1.2_o let_v a_o man_n so_o think_v of_o we_o as_o of_o the_o minister_n of_o christ_n and_o disposer_n of_o the_o secret_n of_o god_n and_o as_o for_o the_o rest_n it_o be_v

our_o saviour_n show_v to_o be_v equal_a even_o among_o man_n and_o therefore_o we_o can_v think_v that_o either_o the_o justice_n or_o mercy_n of_o god_n the_o father_n of_o the_o ●hole_a family_n both_o in_o heaven_n and_o in_o earth_n be_v inferior_a but_o rather_o infinite_o exceed_v both_o in_o the_o one_o respect_n and_o also_o in_o the_o other_o that_o be_v in_o the_o grievousnes_n of_o

therefore_o be_v answerable_a to_o the_o former_a for_o to_o admonish_v all_o sort_n but_o special_o the_o minister_n of_o the_o word_n to_o be_v diligent_a and_o faithful_a in_o their_o calling_n against_o the_o come_n of_o the_o lord_n that_o then_o they_o may_v receive_v from_o the_o merciful_a hand_n of_o god_n a_o most_o bless_a reward_n according_a to_o that_o 1._o peter_n 5.4_o when_o
