so_o oft_o they_o repeat_v those_o fast_n and_o thus_o they_o do_v every_o year_n for_o seventy_o year_n together_o in_o memory_n of_o those_o great_a calamity_n thus_o in_o former_a time_n before_o the_o babylonian_a captivity_n when_o god_n people_n have_v lose_v the_o best_a king_n that_o ever_o they_o have_v king_n josias_n the_o only_a man_n that_o stand_v between_o they_o and_o the_o heavy_a judgement_n of_o god_n for_o his_o death_n they_o have_v a_o fast_a which_o they_o continue_v till_o the_o captivity_n and_o afterward_o for_o no_o less_o than_o a_o hundred_o and_o fifty_o year_n we_o know_v not_o how_o much_o long_o but_o we_o know_v it_o be_v above_o a_o hundred_o and_o fifty_o year_n after_o that_o ezra_n write_v the_o second_o book_n of_o chronieles_n where_o chap_n xxxv_o 25._o that_o writer_n say_v they_o continue_v it_o to_o this_o day_n that_o be_v till_o the_o time_n of_o his_o write_v that_o history_n but_o what_o be_v a_o hundred_o and_o fifty_o year_n to_o the_o continuance_n of_o these_o fast_n in_o my_o text_n the_o fast_a of_o the_o five_o month_n and_o the_o seven_o and_o also_o those_o of_o the_o four_o and_o of_o the_o ten_o month_n all_o which_o you_o read_v of_o together_o here_o chap._n viii_o 19_o all_o these_o fast_n continue_v in_o the_o jewish_a church_n till_o the_o last_o destruction_n of_o jerusalem_n which_o be_v near_o six_o hundred_o year_n after_o so_o long_o god_n accept_v what_o they_o do_v in_o observe_v they_o as_o we_o may_v reasonable_o judge_v because_o as_o we_o be_v sure_o they_o observe_v those_o fast_n in_o christ_n time_n for_o they_o do_v so_o still_o to_o this_o day_n so_o we_o see_v christ_n do_v not_o reprove_v they_o for_o these_o fast_n as_o he_o do_v for_o all_o the_o jewish_a corruption_n and_o superstition_n nor_o do_v they_o ever_o tax_v he_o for_o break_v those_o fast_n and_o therefore_o we_o have_v no_o reason_n to_o doubt_v but_o that_o he_o keep_v those_o fast_n with_o they_o but_o after_o his_o death_n they_o keep_v they_o still_o till_o the_o destruction_n of_o jerusalem_n as_o we_o gather_v from_o josephus_n and_o all_o this_o time_n the_o apostle_n of_o christ_n still_o keep_v these_o fast_n with_o they_o after_o the_o destruction_n of_o jerusalem_n they_o be_v no_o more_o the_o people_n of_o god_n and_o therefore_o it_o matter_n not_o much_o what_o they_o do_v as_o to_o any_o authority_n we_o can_v draw_v from_o it_o but_o as_o to_o matter_n of_o history_n we_o know_v that_o for_o these_o sixteen_o hundred_o year_n since_o they_o be_v continue_v still_o in_o that_o nation_n and_o no_o doubt_n they_o will_v continue_v still_o in_o the_o observation_n of_o these_o fast_n till_o their_o gather_v again_o after_o their_o conversion_n to_o christ._n then_o it_o will_v be_v fulfil_v which_o we_o read_v in_o the_o eight_o chap._n of_o this_o prophecy_n where_o speak_v of_o the_o conversion_n of_o the_o jew_n in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o messiah_n the_o prophet_n tell_v they_o ver._n 19_o beforementioned_a thus_o say_v the_o lord_n of_o host_n the_o fast_a of_o the_o four_o month_n and_o the_o fast_o of_o the_o five_o and_o the_o fast_o of_o the_o seven_o and_o the_o fast_o of_o the_o ten_o shall_v be_v to_o the_o house_n of_o judah_n joy_n and_o gladness_n and_o cheerful_a feast_n he_o show_v plain_o that_o this_o shall_v be_v after_o the_o conversion_n of_o the_o jew_n by_o what_o follow_v in_o the_o two_o last_o verse_n of_o that_o chapter_n what_o i_o have_v say_v may_v give_v some_o satisfaction_n to_o they_o that_o have_v a_o curiosity_n to_o know_v how_o long_o these_o fast_n here_o mention_v be_v to_o continue_v but_o i_o confess_v that_o be_v beside_o my_o present_a intention_n i_o intend_v only_o this_o to_o show_v that_o in_o all_o age_n it_o have_v be_v the_o practice_n of_o god_n church_n to_o keep_v yearly_o day_n of_o fast_v upon_o such_o sad_a occasion_n and_o to_o continue_v those_o fast_n from_o age_n to_o age_n if_o occasion_n require_v which_o be_v consider_v there_o need_v no_o other_o answer_n be_v give_v to_o they_o that_o ask_v a_o reason_n of_o our_o keep_v this_o yearly_o solemnity_n i_o do_v not_o speak_v now_o of_o they_o that_o be_v so_o wicked_a to_o justify_v the_o king_n murder_n but_o of_o they_o that_o have_v the_o same_o sense_n of_o it_o that_o we_o have_v and_o yet_o because_o they_o do_v not_o love_v fast_v or_o whatever_o the_o reason_n may_v be_v they_o will_v not_o have_v the_o memory_n of_o it_o keep_v up_o in_o this_o manner_n they_o say_v what_o need_n be_v there_o of_o this_o for_o a_o thing_n that_o be_v do_v so_o long_o ago_o it_o be_v now_o forty_o eight_o year_n since_o that_o bless_a king_n be_v put_v to_o death_n and_o since_o that_o time_n have_v we_o not_o see_v the_o restauration_n of_o the_o royal_a family_n be_v not_o our_o fast_a then_o turn_v literal_o into_o festival_n and_o do_v we_o not_o keep_v that_o festival_n ever_o since_o they_o think_v much_o to_o be_v oblige_v to_o this_o festival_n so_o long_o after_o but_o much_o more_o to_o keep_v a_o fast_a for_o that_o which_o as_o to_o they_o seem_v to_o be_v quite_o wear_v out_o of_o memory_n now_o for_o man_n that_o talk_v at_o this_o rate_n if_o they_o be_v man_n of_o no_o conscience_n such_o be_v not_o to_o be_v satisfy_v but_o for_o they_o that_o pretend_v to_o tender_a conscience_n they_o if_o they_o be_v true_o such_o may_v and_o will_v be_v satisfy_v out_o of_o scripture_n in_o my_o text_n they_o see_v the_o people_n of_o god_n in_o scripture-time_n when_o they_o have_v keep_v four_o such_o fast_n every_o year_n for_o seventy_o year_n together_o that_o be_v a_o great_a deal_n more_o than_o forty_o eight_o yet_o they_o be_v not_o weary_a of_o keep_v they_o they_o have_v no_o objection_n against_o two_o of_o they_o but_o for_o other_o two_o of_o those_o fast_n they_o have_v a_o objection_n against_o they_o much_o like_o one_o of_o those_o that_o i_o have_v now_o mention_v their_o fast_a for_o the_o destruction_n of_o the_o temple_n and_o that_o for_o the_o unpeople_a of_o the_o land_n now_o both_o these_o occasion_n be_v cease_v the_o temple_n be_v now_o rebuilding_n and_o the_o people_n be_v return_v from_o captivity_n now_o they_o have_v reason_n to_o think_v both_o these_o fast_n may_v be_v turn_v into_o festival_n at_o least_o those_o two_o fast_n they_o may_v think_v be_v to_o be_v no_o long_o continue_v and_o that_o be_v the_o reason_n of_o their_o send_v to_o know_v the_o will_n of_o god_n by_o his_o prophet_n but_o what_o be_v the_o will_n of_o god_n concern_v this_o matter_n be_v it_o that_o they_o shall_v keep_v these_o fast_n no_o long_o no._n but_o that_o they_o shall_v keep_v they_o better_o better_a than_o they_o have_v do_v all_o this_o while_n have_v they_o keep_v they_o fifty_o year_n as_o they_o ought_v to_o have_v do_v there_o be_v just_a fifty_o year_n from_o the_o destruction_n of_o the_o temple_n till_o cyrus_n his_o reign_n then_o in_o the_o second_o year_n of_o cyrus_n there_o have_v be_v a_o end_n of_o their_o fast_n for_o there_o be_v a_o end_n of_o the_o seventy_o year_n from_o the_o four_o of_o jehoiakim_n the_o time_n that_o god_n have_v prefix_v for_o the_o babylonian_a captivity_n in_o the_o first_o year_n of_o cyrus_n they_o return_v from_o the_o captivity_n and_o in_o the_o second_o the_o foundation_n of_o the_o temple_n be_v lay_v but_o then_o they_o be_v so_o little_o reform_v by_o all_o their_o fast_n that_o for_o their_o sin_n the_o building_n be_v stop_v the_o next_o year_n as_o you_o may_v see_v in_o the_o four_o of_o ezra_n and_o the_o 10_o chapter_n of_o daniel_n the_o stop_n be_v near_o twenty_o year_n in_o all_o which_o time_n they_o fast_v on_o and_o be_v never_o the_o better_a they_o be_v content_a as_o haggai_n complain_v of_o they_o that_o god_n house_n shall_v lie_v waste_n while_o their_o own_o house_n be_v
