Wherefore, I beseech you, let us do all we can, so as to lay up no treasure here; for if the
thief should come, we must in a moment arise and depart. “Watch,” saith He, “for ye know
not at what hour the thief cometh” (Matt. xxiv. 42, 43.), thus naming death. O then, before
he cometh, let us send away everything before us to our native country; but here let us be
“well girded,” that we may be enabled to overcome our enemies, whom God grant that we
may overcome, through the grace and lovingkindness of our Lord Jesus Christ, with Whom
together with the Holy Ghost, be unto the Father glory, strength, honor forever and ever.
Amen.
