will_v set_v down_o my_o opinion_n with_o submission_n to_o better_a judgement_n in_o three_o several_a proposition_n 1._o the_o precise_a time_n and_o distinct_a hour_n how_o long_o a_o fast_o must_v be_v continue_v be_v not_o any_o where_n that_o i_o know_v of_o peremptory_o define_v or_o command_v either_o in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n or_o in_o any_o write_n of_o the_o ancient_n for_o as_o for_o the_o scripture_n we_o find_v example_n of_o some_o that_o have_v fast_v for_o three_o day_n and_o many_o that_o have_v fast_v till_o night_n but_o where_o either_o that_o space_n or_o any_o other_o be_v command_v for_o my_o part_n i_o confess_v i_o know_v not_o and_o for_o the_o ancient_a church_n it_o be_v a_o clear_a case_n that_o they_o use_v to_o fast_v sometime_o till_o evening_n and_o many_o time_n but_o till_o three_o a_o clock_n in_o the_o afternoon_n which_o show_v that_o they_o think_v no_o set_a space_n of_o time_n absolute_o necessary_a 2._o in_o every_o religious_a fast_a the_o abstinence_n must_v be_v continue_v so_o long_o as_o that_o the_o body_n by_o want_v his_o ordinary_a food_n may_v be_v in_o some_o sort_n chastened_a and_o afflict_a for_o so_o the_o

cap._n 4._o pa._n 49_o etc._n etc._n elsewhere_o 3._o the_o long_a our_o abstinence_n be_v so_o it_o be_v with_o moderation_n and_o regard_n to_o a_o man_n strength_n such_o as_o heretofore_o i_o describe_v the_o more_o perfect_a the_o fast_o be_v and_o the_o more_o available_a for_o the_o good_a which_o we_o intend_v by_o it_o my_o reason_n be_v first_o because_o fast_v be_v ordain_v for_o humiliation_n and_o chasten_n of_o ourselves_o before_o god_n which_o the_o more_o sensible_a it_o be_v the_o more_o effectual_a it_o prove_v but_o the_o long_o the_o abstinence_n be_v the_o great_a be_v the_o humiliation_n or_o chasten_v that_o be_v wrought_v by_o it_o and_o therefore_o the_o long_o the_o abstinence_n the_o perfiter_n the_o fast_o be_v second_o upon_o extraordinary_a occasion_n and_o when_o great_a need_n require_v then_o god_n servant_n have_v be_v accustom_v to_o enlarge_v the_o time_n of_o their_o fast_n as_o i_o have_v show_v before_o in_o ester_n and_o the_o man_n of_o labesh_n etc._n etc._n and_o this_o show_v that_o the_o long_o the_o abstinence_n be_v the_o more_o powerful_a the_o fast_o be_v three_o the_o ancient_a church_n do_v use_v long_o abstinence_n in_o lent_n time_n than_o on_o other_o fasting-day_n intend_v therein_o as_o in_o all_o the_o other_o religious_a duty_n to_o show_v more_o piety_n than_o at_o other_o time_n they_o use_v and_o this_o

of_o the_o former_a as_o itself_o be_v herein_o intend_a and_o the_o reason_n be_v because_o the_o intention_n of_o a_o man_n mind_n can_v entire_o and_o perfect_o be_v employ_v upon_o two_o

respect_n that_o may_v move_v we_o unto_o it_o at_o the_o same_o time_n and_o because_o the_o especial_a respect_n of_o the_o world_n that_o do_v most_o usual_o intermingle_v themselves_o with_o our_o

a_o holy_a rest_n a_o public_a meeting_n a_o affliction_n of_o the_o soul_n and_o a_o offer_v make_v by_o fire_n and_o hence_o we_o may_v gather_v that_o a_o holy_a day_n and_o a_o fast_a day_n be_v

but_o it_o be_v not_o say_v that_o it_o be_v to_o be_v keep_v holy_a because_o it_o be_v a_o fast_a day_n and_o hence_o i_o may_v conclude_v that_o the_o text_n do_v give_v no_o warrant_n that_o

the_o due_a perform_v of_o that_o work_n then_o set_v time_n of_o humiliation_n can_v be_v so_o hurtful_a as_o to_o mar_v and_o corrupt_v that_o good_a work_n 3._o if_o to_o be_v leave_v at_o liberty_n for_o the_o time_n of_o our_o pray_n be_v so_o dangerous_a to_o breed_v a_o utter_a neglect_n of_o it_o then_o to_o leave_v time_n of_o fast_v to_o each_o man_n present_a choice_n will_v not_o be_v so_o safe_a nor_o without_o fear_n of_o neglect_v this_o necessary_a duty_n for_o there_o be_v much_o more_o fear_n of_o neglect_n in_o fast_v than_o in_o pray_v because_o it_o be_v more_o painful_a to_o the_o flesh_n and_o therefore_o man_n will_v be_v more_o ready_a to_o shift_v it_o off_o upon_o every_o sleight_n and_o idle_a occasion_n which_o will_v god_n it_o be_v but_o a_o surmise_n of_o i_o and_o that_o experience_n have_v not_o prove_v it_o to_o be_v most_o true_a for_o we_o all_o confess_v that_o there_o be_v great_a use_n of_o
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

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
