and_o much_o sleep_n be_v a_o great_a mean_n of_o satisfaction_n and_o contentment_n to_o the_o body_n i_o say_v my_o bed_n shall_v comfort_v i_o say_v joel_n 7._o 13._o my_o couch_n shall_v ease_v my_o complaint_n so_o do_v the_o want_n of_o it_o afflict_v the_o body_n much_o as_o appear_z also_o by_o job_n complaint_n wearisome_a night_n be_v appoint_v to_o i_o say_v he_o job_n 7._o 3_o 4._o

separation_n and_o restraint_n of_o ourselves_o from_o these_o four_o thing_n must_v continue_v during_o the_o space_n of_o one_o whole_a day_n that_o be_v four_o and_o twenty_o hour_n no_o fast_o we_o read_v of_o in_o scripture_n continue_v for_o any_o less_o time_n and_o we_o have_v express_v commandment_n we_o shall_v keep_v it_o as_o a_o sabbath_n levit._n 16._o 31._o it_o shall_v be_v a_o

ourselves_o in_o these_o four_o thing_n shall_v be_v so_o necessary_a upon_o the_o day_n of_o our_o fast_n i_o must_v give_v you_o certain_a caution_n to_o prevent_v the_o mistake_n of_o this_o doctrine_n first_o 1._o that_o this_o outward_a abstinence_n be_v not_o the_o chief_a part_n of_o a_o true_a fast_o not_o the_o chief_a help_n to_o our_o prayer_n the_o inward_a humiliation_n of_o the_o soul_n be_v far_o more_o acceptable_a to_o god_n and_o have_v more_o force_n to_o make_v our_o prayer_n pierce_v the_o heaven_n than_o all_o this_o bodily_a exercise_n profit_v little_a say_v the_o apostle_n 1_o tim._n 4._o 8._o and_o such_o be_v all_o these_o four_o part_n of_o abstinence_n that_o you_o have_v hear_v of_o but_o godliness_n whereof_o the_o inward_a afflict_v of_o the_o soul_n and_o mortify_v of_o our_o lust_n be_v a_o chief_a part_n be_v profitable_a unto_o all_o thing_n rend_a your_o heart_n and_o not_o your_o garment_n say_v the_o prophet_n joel_n 2._o 13._o nay_o the_o restrain_v of_o ourselves_o in_o these_o four_o thing_n be_v in_o itself_o no_o service_n of_o god_n nor_o acceptable_a at_o all_o unto_o he_o further_o than_o as_o it_o be_v a_o help_n to_o the_o inward_a humiliation_n of_o the_o heart_n and_o even_o animate_v by_o it_o that_o that_o be_v say_v of_o the_o one_o of_o these_o may_v be_v fit_o say_v of_o all_o mat._n 15._o 11._o that_o which_o go_v into_o the_o mouth_n defile_v not_o a_o man_n and_o rom._n 14._o 17._o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n consist_v not_o in_o meat_n or_o drink_n second_o 2._o that_o these_o outward_a sign_n and_o help_n to_o humiliation_n must_v be_v increase_v according_a to_o the_o increase_n and_o urgency_n of_o the_o cause_n as_o there_o be_v degree_n in_o god_n judgement_n on_o a_o land_n or_o family_n or_o person_n some_o more_o general_a than_o other_o some_o some_o more_o extreme_a than_o other_o some_o seven_o time_n more_o grievous_a as_o the_o lord_n speak_v levit._fw-la 26._o 24._o and_o such_o as_o do_v more_o deep_o affect_v the_o heart_n so_o ought_v these_o outward_a sign_n and_o help_v of_o our_o humiliation_n be_v proportionable_a thereunto_o whereas_o ordinary_o the_o fast_n we_o read_v of_o last_v but_o a_o day_n levit._n 23._o 32._o from_o even_a to_o even_o judg._n 20._o 26._o they_o fast_v that_o day_n until_o even_o 2_o sam._n 1._o 12._o they_o mourn_v and_o

example_n bind_v we_o i_o answer_v three_o thing_n 1._o that_o we_o in_o these_o northern_a climate_n be_v not_o able_a to_o forbear_v meat_n so_o long_o as_o they_o in_o those_o country_n be_v experience_n teach_v we_o that_o the_o spaniard_n and_o italian_n need_v not_o meat_n so_o much_o as_o we_o 2._o we_o have_v not_o bless_v be_v god_n the_o like_a occasion_n that_o judgement_n be_v so_o extreme_a general_a present_o imminent_a as_o they_o may_v well_o hold_v out_o their_o fast_n so_o long_o with_o feeling_n and_o affection_n which_o be_v the_o main_a thing_n to_o be_v look_v unto_o in_o this_o case_n and_o without_o hope_n and_o likelihood_n of_o that_o the_o enjoin_v of_o the_o other_o be_v but_o gross_a hypocrisy_n as_o be_v plain_a by_o that_o speech_n of_o our_o saviour_n matth._n 15._o 7_o 8._o 3._o from_o that_o example_n we_o learn_v that_o though_o we_o can_v keep_v so_o long_a a_o time_n without_o any_o intermission_n as_o they_o do_v yet_o when_o god_n shall_v increase_v the_o cause_n and_o occasion_n of_o our_o humiliation_n we_o may_v and_o aught_o to_o increase_v and_o multiply_v our_o fast_n in_o that_o manner_n as_o the_o man_n of_o jabesh_n gilead_n do_v 1_o sam._n 31._o 13._o they_o f●sted_v seven_o day_n which_o also_o justify_v this_o most_o christian_n and_o religious_a decree_n of_o our_o king_n and_o state_n in_o enjoin_v during_o this_o time_n of_o so_o great_a calamity_n a_o general_a fast_o to_o be_v keep_v every_o week_n three_o 3._o that_o this_o law_n of_o outward_a abstinence_n in_o the_o day_n of_o our_o humiliation_n must_v give_v place_n to_o the_o necessity_n of_o man_n necessity_n say_v i_o yea_o even_o unto_o decency_n and_o conveniency_n also_o in_o some_o sort_n though_o we_o must_v on_o the_o fast_a day_n abridge_v ourselves_o in_o our_o apparel_n yet_o may_v we_o have_v respect_n to_o comeliness_n in_o our_o apparel_n even_o on_o that_o day_n we_o may_v not_o disguise_v our_o body_n or_o make_v they_o ridiculous_a as_o our_o saviour_n note_v it_o to_o have_v be_v the_o fashion_n of_o hypocrite_n to_o do_v they_o disfigure_v their_o face_n say_v he_o mat._n 6._o 16._o that_o they_o may_v appear_v

1_o tim._n 3._o 2._o so_o though_o we_o must_v for_o the_o whole_a day_n of_o our_o humiliation_n abstain_v from_o all_o food_n yet_o such_o as_o can_v fast_v so_o long_o without_o evident_a danger_n 1._o either_o of_o their_o health_n or_o 2_o of_o make_v themselves_o unfit_a to_o perform_v the_o spiritual_a duty_n of_o the_o day_n may_v lawful_o eat_v something_o upon_o the_o fast_a day_n two_o thing_n will_v make_v this_o evident_a first_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o sabbath_n which_o be_v as_o strict_o enjoin_v as_o abstinence_n at_o a_o fast_o yet_o may_v be_v lawful_o break_v for_o the_o preservation_n of_o a_o man_n life_n as_o we_o see_v in_o eliahs_n travel_n 1_o king_n 19_o 8._o five_o or_o six_o sabbath_n together_o yea_o for_o the_o preservation_n of_o the_o life_n of_o a_o

of_o his_o own_o service_n mat._n 12._o 7._o second_o this_o abstinence_n be_v enjoin_v but_o for_o a_o help_n to_o our_o prayer_n and_o other_o spiritual_a duty_n when_o once_o it_o cease_v to_o be_v a_o help_n and_o prove_v a_o hindrance_n to_o they_o than_o be_v it_o of_o no_o worth_n with_o god_n i_o grant_v that_o such_o as_o can_v thus_o abstain_v can_v keep_v a_o fast_o but_o yet_o may_v they_o keep_v a_o day_n of_o humiliation_n in_o as_o acceptable_a and_o effectual_a a_o manner_n as_o they_o that_o can_v fast_o best_a provide_v 1._o that_o they_o abuse_v not_o this_o liberty_n and_o pretend_v necessity_n when_o there_o be_v none_o but_o remember_v that_o they_o have_v herein_o to_o deal_v with_o god_n which_o know_v their_o heart_n 1_o thes._n 2._o 4._o gal._n 5._o 13._o
