Surcharge your souls with surfeiting,
or shamefull drunkenness.
And lest your heart be overcome
with weight of worldly cares:
And so, that day, the day of Doom,
o'retake you unawares.
1 Thes. 5.2, 3. Luke 12.47.
Because the day of Christ will come
like as a Thief by night:
And when they say, Peace, Peace, will be,
shall suddain vengeance light.
He that did know his Masters will,
and not himself prepare
To do according to his skill,
full many a stripe shall bear.
37, 38, 44.
But blessed are those Servants all
that watch with wakefull mind:
Whom Christ shall at his coming call
and in this posture find.
He shall come forth assuredly,
and set them at his board:
And make them partners in the Joy
of their advanced Lord.
