Omnes stabimus ante tribunal. Rom. 14. Vigilate & orate, quia nescitis qua hora vẽturus sit Dominus. Mat. XXIIII. Quilibet ut possit rationem reddere, cuncti iudicis æterni stabimus ante thronum. Propterea toto uigilemus pectore, ne cum venerit, irato iudicet ore Deus. Et quia nemo tenet uenturi iudidis horam, esse decet uigiles in statione pios.
