be_v this_o the_o church_n have_v command_v we_o to_o fast_a and_o to_o pray_v upon_o three_o day_n in_o this_o week_n that_o god_n will_v be_v please_v to_o give_v we_o such_o minister_n as_o be_v both_o willing_a and_o able_a both_o by_o their_o life_n and_o doctrine_n to_o set_v forth_o his_o glory_n and_o to_o set_v forward_o the_o salvation_n of_o all_o men._n and_o these_o three_o day_n have_v be_v heretofore_o so_o strict_o keep_v by_o holy_a man_n and_o woman_n that_o they_o cover_v themselves_o with_o sackcloth_n and_o ash_n and_o eat_v nothing_o till_o night_n nor_o then_o neither_o save_v only_o a_o cake_n bake_v under_o the_o embers_o which_o be_v therefore_o call_v ember-bread_n and_o from_o this_o strictness_n and_o severity_n which_o be_v former_o use_v upon_o the_o three_o fasting-day_n in_o this_o week_n the_o whole_a week_n come_v to_o be_v call_v ember-week_n and_o the_o reason_n of_o all_o this_o strictness_n and_o severity_n upon_o this_o occasion_n be_v this_o when_o man_n do_v fast_o from_o meat_n they_o acknowledge_v themselves_o to_o be_v unworthy_a of_o the_o least_o crumb_n of_o that_o meat_n they_o fast_o from_o and_o when_o they_o do_v in_o the_o time_n of_o their_o fast_n cover_v themselves_o with_o sackcloth_n they_o acknowledge_v that_o to_o be_v far_o better_a than_o they_o deserve_v they_o call_v to_o mind_n that_o their_o clothing_n be_v only_o the_o effect_n of_o their_o nakedness_n and_o that_o their_o nakedness_n be_v only_o the_o effect_n of_o their_o sin_n and_o therefore_o they_o be_v resolve_v not_o to_o be_v proud_a of_o those_o clothes_n which_o ought_v to_o humble_v they_o with_o the_o thought_n of_o their_o first_o original_a and_o to_o put_v they_o in_o mind_n of_o those_o totter_a rag_n they_o be_v now_o clothe_v with_o instead_o of_o that_o glorious_a robe_n of_o righteousness_n which_o they_o once_o have_v in_o paradise_n when_o man_n do_v cast_v embers_o and_o sprinkle_v ash_n upon_o their_o head_n they_o public_o tell_v god_n that_o their_o sin_n be_v so_o many_o and_o so_o great_a that_o they_o deserve_v nothing_o but_o death_n they_o deserve_v nothing_o but_o to_o have_v those_o dreadful_a word_n in_o the_o office_n for_o the_o burial_n of_o the_o dead_a constant_o sound_v in_o their_o ear_n earth_n to_o earth_n ash_n to_o ash_n and_o dust_n to_o dust_n and_o when_o man_n do_v thus_o open_o dedeclare_v their_o inward_a sorrow_n of_o heart_n by_o these_o and_o the_o like_a outward_a sign_n of_o fast_v and_o mortification_n they_o mighty_o move_v both_o god_n and_o man_n to_o have_v mercy_n upon_o they_o for_o when_o the_o servant_n of_o benhadad_a king_n of_o syria_n gird_a sackcloth_n on_o their_o loin_n and_o put_v rope_n on_o their_o head_n and_o present_v themselves_o to_o ahab_n king_n of_o israel_n in_o that_o humble_a and_o miserable_a condition_n he_o can_v not_o choose_v but_o have_v pity_n upon_o he_o though_o god_n have_v appoint_v he_o to_o utter_v destruction_n and_o though_o he_o and_o his_o people_n be_v to_o lose_v their_o life_n for_o save_v he_o and_o his_o people_n from_o death_n 1_o king_n 20._o 32_o 42._o yea_o and_o that_o very_o same_o ahab_n by_o humble_v himself_o with_o fast_v in_o sackcloth_n and_o ash_n move_v god_n to_o take_v away_o from_o he_o one_o of_o the_o great_a temporal_a judgement_n that_o ever_o be_v

to_o be_v keep_v with_o so_o much_o strictness_n and_o solemnity_n let_v no_o graceless_a person_n think_v so_o scornful_o of_o ember-week_n and_o ordination-day_n for_o the_o apostle_n think_v themselves_o bind_v to_o ordain_v no_o elder_n in_o any_o church_n without_o the_o solemnity_n of_o a_o fast_a act_v 14_o 23._o and_o christ_n himself_o before_o he_o enter_v upon_o his_o

what_o be_v mean_v by_o ordination-day_n and_o what_o be_v mean_v by_o ember-week_n and_o that_o you_o may_v all_o keep_v they_o as_o they_o ought_v to_o be_v keep_v i_o have_v purposely_o pitch_v upon_o these_o word_n which_o be_v the_o gospel_n for_o the_o ordination_n of_o priest_n as_o be_v most_o proper_a for_o this_o great_a occasion_n and_o our_o most_o serious_a meditation_n upon_o it_o when_o jesus_n see_v the_o multitude_n he_o be_v move_v with_o compassion_n on_o they_o because_o they_o faint_v and_o be_v scatter_v abroad_o as_o sheep_n have_v no_o shepherd_n then_o say_v he_o
