ancient_a church_n be_v most_o proper_a and_o most_o profitable_a now_o out_o of_o these_o two_o last_o point_n lay_v together_o we_o may_v learn_v not_o to_o esteem_v and_o think_v of_o the_o ancient_a institution_n and_o use_n of_o lent_n according_a to_o the_o new_a observation_n of_o it_o in_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n for_o if_o we_o look_v upon_o it_o according_a to_o the_o intention_n &_o practice_n of_o the_o old_a christian_a church_n we_o can_v choose_v but_o think_v it_o to_o be_v a_o chief_a time_n of_o devotion_n and_o such_o a_o practice_n of_o holy_a discipline_n as_o may_v season_v man_n mind_n for_o all_o the_o year_n after_o but_o if_o we_o look_v upon_o it_o according_a to_o the_o doctrine_n and_o practice_n of_o the_o roman_a church_n we_o may_v then_o just_o think_v it_o a_o superstitious_a foppery_n as_o many_o of_o the_o worthy_n and_o learned_a writer_n of_o the_o reform_a church_n have_v speak_v and_o write_v of_o it_o which_o speech_n of_o they_o because_o they_o may_v seem_v sometime_o to_o involve_v the_o ancient_a father_n &_o the_o novel_a doctor_n of_o the_o roman_a church_n in_o the_o same_o condemnation_n and_o have_v therefore_o give_v occasion_n to_o the_o romanist_n to_o declaim_v against_o our_o church_n as_o if_o they_o condemn_v all_o the_o ancient_a father_n of_o superstition_n in_o their_o allowance_n of_o this_o lent-fast_a it_o will_v not_o be_v impertinent_a if_o in_o this_o place_n i_o add_v a_o few_o word_n more_o for_o the_o defence_n of_o our_o church_n doctrine_n whereas_o therefore_o our_o adversary_n say_v and_o that_o with_o great_a and_o loud_a ourcry_n that_o we_o and_o our_o church_n do_v not_o only_o condemn_v all_o fast_a and_o in_o particular_a this_o fast_a of_o lent_n but_o that_o we_o do_v withal_o accuse_v all_o the_o old_a and_o pure_a church_n of_o christ_n as_o be_v superstitious_a in_o their_o use_n of_o these_o fast_n my_o answer_n be_v as_o

matter_n of_o the_o discourse_n follow_v chap._n i._n what_o fast_n be_v the_o most_o usual_a description_n of_o fast_v be_v that_o it_o be_v a_o abstinence_n from_o meat_n and_o drink_n and_o this_o description_n be_v very_o agreeable_a to_o the_o manner_n of_o speech_n use_v by_o the_o scripture_n which_o when_o they_o speak_v of_o fast_v do_v many_o time_n mention_v and_o always_o intend_v a_o

fast_n but_o thy_o disciple_n fast_o not_o where_o we_o may_v note_v first_o that_o saint_n luke_n make_v a_o opposition_n between_o fast_v and_o eat_v or_o drink_v second_o that_o that_o which_o saint_n luke_n call_v eat_v and_o drink_v the_o other_o evangelist_n call_v not_o fast_v and_o by_o both_o these_o we_o may_v gather_v that_o fast_v include_v a_o abstinence_n from_o meat_n and_o drink_n but_o thus_o far_o the_o point_n be_v clear_a only_o a_o further_a question_n may_v be_v ask_v what_o kind_n of_o abstinence_n this_o be_v whether_o total_a and_o entire_a from_o all_o meat_n and_o drink_v and_o from_o taste_v of_o any_o thing_n as_o the_o man_n of_o nineveh_n and_o ester_n seem_v to_o speak_v or_o whether_o a_o partial_a kind_n of_o abstinence_n which_o be_v a_o forbear_n of_o nourish_v and_o pleasant_a meat_n only_o may_v not_o sometime_o suffice_v as_o that_o place_n of_o daniel_n seem_v to_o import_v where_o the_o prophet_n speak_v of_o his_o fast_n say_v i_o 10.3_o i_o dan._n 10.3_o eat_v no_o pleasant_a bread_n neither_o come_v flesh_n nor_o wine_n in_o my_o mouth_n etc._n etc._n till_o three_o whole_a week_n be_v fulfil_v for_o answer_v hereto_o it_o must_v first_o of_o all_o be_v note_v that_o abstinence_n use_v in_o a_o fast_o may_v be_v consider_v two_o way_n first_o in_o respect_n of_o one_o only_a act_n or_o time_n of_o abstinence_n continue_v without_o any_o interruption_n as_o when_o it_o be_v say_v that_o the_o israelite_n 20.26_o israelite_n judg._n 20.26_o weep_v and_o fast_v that_o day_n until_o even_o and_o that_o the_o jew_n shall_v 4.16_o shall_v ester_n 4.16_o fast_v and_o not_o eat_v nor_o drink_v three_o day_n day_n or_o night_n and_o that_o our_o saviour_n 4.2_o saviour_n matth._n 4.2_o fast_v forty_o day_n and_o forty_o night_n there_o be_v mean_v one_o continue_a act_n or_o space_n of_o abstinence_n without_o any_o intermission_n or_o interruption_n of_o the_o abstinence_n then_o use_v second_o it_o may_v be_v consider_v in_o respect_n of_o many_o multiply_a act_n or_o distinct_a time_n of_o abstinence_n one_o immediate_o follow_v after_o another_o as_o for_o example_n when_o it_o be_v say_v of_o the_o

be_v first_o note_v for_o a_o ground_n my_o answer_n to_o the_o doubt_n be_v answ_n 1._o if_o we_o speak_v of_o a_o fast_o as_o it_o consist_v of_o one_o only_a single_a act_n without_o interruption_n of_o the_o abstinence_n require_v than_o it_o be_v unheard_a of_o in_o scripture_n that_o there_o be_v any_o use_n of_o meat_n or_o drink_v or_o taste_v of_o food_n while_o that_o fast_o last_v but_o if_o we_o speak_v of_o a_o fast_o as_o consist_v of_o many_o such_o act_n multiply_v and_o add_v together_o than_o it_o be_v necessary_a that_o some_o refresh_a be_v have_v between_o those_o several_a act_n or_o distinct_a time_n and_o usual_a it_o be_v that_o such_o refection_n then_o use_v shall_v be_v spare_v for_o the_o quantity_n of_o meat_n and_o homely_a for_o the_o quality_n of_o it_o and_o such_o a_o fast_o as_o this_o be_v that_o of_o daniel_n when_o he_o say_v i_o be_v mourn_v three_o full_a week_n i_o eat_v no_o pleasant_a bread_n etc._n etc._n for_o the_o meaning_n be_v that_o he_o fast_v every_o day_n for_o three_o week_n space_n without_o eat_v or_o drink_v or_o taste_v any_o food_n all_o the_o day_n long_o but_o when_o the_o day_n be_v end_v he_o break_v off_o his_o abstinence_n by_o a_o slender_a supper_n and_o so_o this_o place_n prove_v not_o but_o that_o a_o fast_a do_v include_v a_o total_a abstinence_n from_o all_o meat_n and_o this_o to_o be_v the_o meaning_n of_o the_o place_n i_o be_o induce_v to_o think_v because_o the_o word_n do_v import_v so_o much_o &_o the_o custom_n of_o the_o jew_n in_o their_o fast_n do_v require_v this_o construction_n for_o the_o learned_a do_v agree_v that_o this_o be_v the_o custom_n of_o the_o jew_n that_o when_o they_o fast_v they_o do_v eat_v nothing_o all_o day_n till_o the_o evening_n that_o by_o reason_n of_o this_o custom_n when_o man_n be_v say_v to_o fast_v many_o day_n it_o may_v reasonable_o be_v understand_v that_o they_o fast_v all_o the_o day_n and_o at_o night_n be_v something_o and_o that_o for_o this_o cause_n saint_n matthew_n do_v say_v that_o christ_n do_v fast_o forty_o day_n and_o forty_o night_n add_v the_o mention_n of_o night_n lest_o man_n shall_v think_v that_o
