fast_v when_o either_o sin_n do_v abound_v or_o judgement_n be_v to_o be_v fear_v or_o blessing_n be_v to_o be_v seek_v for_o and_o none_o of_o we_o can_v think_v or_o will_v say_v but_o that_o in_o all_o these_o respect_n there_o have_v be_v of_o late_a year_n and_o be_v at_o this_o day_n too_o great_a occasion_n offer_v for_o such_o humiliation_n and_o yet_o now_o that_o every_o man_n be_v leave_v to_o himself_o to_o fast_v when_o he_o will_v who_o almost_o be_v there_o even_o among_o they_o that_o be_v count_v religious_a who_o find_v themselves_o willing_a to_o use_v any_o fast_n at_o all_o and_o hence_o i_o infer_v that_o arbitrary_a time_n of_o fast_v be_v as_o like_a to_o breed_v a_o neglect_n of_o this_o duty_n as_o arbitrary_a time_n of_o pray_v to_o make_v that_o duty_n forget_v four_o if_o daniel_n set_v hour_n be_v free_a from_o superstition_n because_o he_o use_v they_o absque_fw-la ulla_fw-la opinion_n sanctitatis_fw-la without_o any_o opinion_n of_o holiness_n in_o that_o time_n then_o the_o church_n of_o england_n can_v be_v charge_v with_o superstition_n for_o her_o set_a day_n of_o fast_v because_o she_o use_v these_o without_o place_v sanctity_n in_o those_o time_n and_o now_o out_o of_o all_o these_o consideration_n i_o may_v bold_o conclude_v the_o point_n that_o set_v time_n of_o fast_v be_v not_o only_o lawful_a but_o very_o expedient_a for_o the_o constant_a and_o religious_a practice_n of_o humiliation_n and_o indeed_o experience_n show_v that_o exercise_n which_o stand_v in_o a_o continue_a practice_n and_o often_o reiterate_v of_o they_o be_v then_o perform_v with_o most_o diligence_n and_o great_a fruit_n when_o they_o have_v their_o fix_a and_o set_v time_n allot_v unto_o they_o myself_o when_o i_o live_v in_o the_o

such_o for_o oratory_n or_o poetry_n and_o such_o for_o history_n or_o geography_n etc._n etc._n by_o which_o fix_a order_n and_o constant_a observe_v of_o their_o appoint_a time_n such_o student_n gain_v great_a furtherance_n for_o their_o study_n which_o other_o want_v for_o first_o they_o take_v order_n that_o no_o seasonable_a time_n shall_v be_v mis-spend_v without_o make_v profit_n but_o take_v a_o view_n of_o their_o whole_a time_n they_o allot_v every_o hour_n to_o some_o use_n second_o when_o their_o hour_n be_v come_v for_o such_o or_o such_o a_o business_n the_o very_a strike_v of_o the_o clock_n do_v admonish_v they_o to_o break_v off_o company_n and_o present_o to_o betake_v themselves_o to_o their_o task_n whereas_o other_o who_o have_v no_o such_o set_a hour_n will_v go_v beyond_o the_o time_n and_o in_o chat_a and_o idleness_n trifle_v away_o many_o a_o good_a hour_n without_o take_v account_n of_o it_o three_o when_o they_o be_v come_v to_o their_o study_n they_o know_v what_o they_o have_v to_o do_v and_o without_o further_a deliberation_n go_v on_o with_o their_o work_n whereas_o some_o other_o when_o they_o come_v to_o their_o study_n be_v scarce_o

fourthly_a if_o at_o any_o time_n either_o occasion_n of_o friend_n or_o occurrence_n of_o some_o business_n do_v intercept_v their_o time_n and_o beguile_v they_o of_o their_o hour_n they_o be_v sensible_a of_o that_o loss_n and_o do_v watch_v all_o opportunity_n to_o regain_a it_o and_o by_o this_o set_a course_n of_o study_n such_o student_n in_o short_a time_n gain_v much_o knowledge_n and_o far_o exceed_v their_o fellow_n and_o as_o this_o have_v be_v find_v in_o experience_n to_o be_v the_o ready_a way_n for_o a_o scholar_n to_o profit_v in_o his_o learning_n so_o for_o my_o part_n i_o know_v no_o better_a way_n of_o thrive_a and_o profit_v in_o christ_n school_n then_o if_o we_o observe_v the_o same_o rule_n and_o set_v ourselves_o convenient_a time_n for_o do_v of_o

examine_v our_o conscience_n and_o see_v what_o we_o have_v do_v and_o such_o a_o time_n to_o fast_o and_o use_v humiliation_n for_o our_o sin_n for_o it_o may_v be_v feat_v if_o we_o appoint_v ourselves_o no_o set_n time_n for_o good_a duty_n we_o will_v spend_v but_o a_o little_a time_n about_o they_o the_o consideration_n of_o all_o which_o make_v i_o to_o think_v that_o the_o

and_o of_o extraordinary_a and_o unusual_a and_o to_o begin_v first_o with_o the_o late_a unusual_a and_o extraordinary_a i_o call_v that_o which_o be_v for_o long_a time_n and_o space_n than_o be_v

be_v observe_v only_o these_o two_o thing_n i_o can_v say_v in_o the_o general_a 1._o that_o they_o must_v be_v no_o long_o than_o the_o strength_n and_o power_n of_o man_n nature_n may_v bear_v as_o i_o have_v show_v already_o 2._o that_o the_o space_n of_o their_o continuance_n be_v to_o be_v measure_v by_o the_o occasion_n that_o require_v they_o and_o by_o the_o devotion_n and_o discretion_n of_o they_o that_o keep_v they_o 2._o second_o the_o usual_a continuance_n of_o a_o fast_a i_o call_v it_o when_o the_o abstinence_n be_v observe_v so_o long_o as_o be_v usual_a among_o god_n servant_n in_o their_o ordinary_a course_n of_o life_n and_o be_v common_o practise_v by_o they_o in_o their_o religious_a fast_n and_o for_o determine_v the_o space_n of_o such_o a_o fast_a some_o say_v that_o a_o religious_a fast_o must_v be_v continue_v for_o four_o and_o twenty_o hour_n and_o the_o reason_n be_v because_o on_o the_o day_n of_o expiation_n god_n do_v enjoin_v abstinence_n from_o evening_n to_o evening_n but_o of_o this_o place_n i_o have_v tell_v my_o opinion_n before_o and_o now_o again_o i_o say_v under_o correction_n first_o that_o this_o place_n require_v that_o space_n of_o time_n for_o the_o celebrate_n of_o a_o sabbath_n or_o festival_n day_n but_o say_v not_o the_o like_a of_o a_o fastingday_n second_o if_o the_o fast_a there_o mention_v be_v mean_v to_o continue_v for_o four_o and_o twenty_o hour_n as_o i_o will_v not_o deny_v but_o it_o may_v be_v so_o take_v yet_o that_o be_v require_v in_o this_o fast_a as_o it_o be_v a_o service_n belong_v to_o a_o holy_a day_n not_o as_o it_o be_v a_o abstinence_n require_v on_o a_o fastingday_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v enjoin_v in_o this_o fast_a but_o be_v not_o so_o in_o all_o fast_n he_o speak_v

that_o in_o diverse_a respect_n 1._o because_o there_o may_v be_v some_o public_a offence_n commit_v by_o the_o body_n of_o the_o church_n either_o in_o the_o omission_n of_o some_o common_a duty_n

which_o purpose_n we_o may_v read_v that_o god_n do_v not_o only_o appoint_v the_o priest_n and_o the_o prince_n &_o the_o people_n to_o bring_v sinne-offering_n for_o their_o error_n but_o enjoin_v

the_o whole_a community_n sin_n which_o be_v proper_o neither_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o priest_n nor_o of_o the_o prince_n nor_o of_o the_o people_n alone_o for_o of_o all_o these_o he_o have_v speak_v before_o and_o have_v appoint_v they_o their_o several_a sacrifice_n and_o oblation_n for_o their_o atonement_n but_o sin_n they_o be_v of_o the_o whole_a congregation_n as_o for_o example_n say_v tostatus_n when_o some_o ceremony_n or_o duty_n be_v neglect_v by_o all_o and_o not_o note_v or_o question_v by_o any_o or_o 2._o when_o the_o body_n representative_a they_o in_o who_o the_o chief_a government_n rest_v do_v commit_v some_o error_n against_o god_n law_n either_o in_o make_v or_o in_o execute_v or_o in_o neglect_v of_o public_a law_n or_o in_o any_o other_o miscarriage_n about_o the_o public_a state_n and_o such_o slip_n as_o these_o may_v easy_o be_v commit_v by_o the_o congregation_n or_o community_n of_o the_o church_n at_o this_o day_n second_o note_n that_o when_o such_o offence_n be_v commit_v god_n appoint_v that_o as_o the_o whole_a congregation_n be_v guilty_a so_o the_o whole_a shall_v join_v in_o the_o sinne-offering_a and_o so_o it_o be_v requisite_a that_o for_o the_o common_a sin_n which_o escape_v the_o body_n of_o the_o church_n the_o whole_a body_n shall_v join_v together_o in_o one_o and_o have_v some_o appoint_a time_n in_o which_o by_o their_o joint_a repentance_n they_o may_v obtain_v common_a forgiveness_n for_o which_o purpose_n the_o time_n of_o lent_n may_v serve_v most_o convenient_o it_o be_v the_o time_n in_o which_o the_o whole_a christian_a church_n in_o all_o country_n do_v use_v public_a humiliation_n and_o in_o which_o king_n and_o noble_n and_o people_n do_v join_v in_o exercise_n of_o fast_v and_o sorrow_n which_o course_n of_o humiliation_n if_o christian_a state_n and_o people_n do_v use_n according_o than_o i_o doubt_v not_o but_o many_o church_n and_o commonwealth_n may_v have_v stand_v firm_a and_o in_o a_o flourish_a estate_n which_o now_o be_v ruinate_v or_o possess_v by_o the_o enemy_n because_o they_o do_v not_o prevent_v god_n justice_n by_o their_o open_a and_o public_a repentance_n second_o there_o may_v be_v good_a use_n of_o this_o institution_n of_o lent_n for_o the_o former_a purpose_n because_o in_o the_o compass_n of_o a_o year_n there_o may_v happen_v many_o fault_n and_o
