A16525	The holy exercise of fasting Described largely and plainly out of the word of God: with all the parts and causes, and seuerall kinds of the same: together with the most fit times, and conuenient seasons, when and how long it should be held: with the manifold fruite and commoditie that redoundeth to vs thereby: and the whole nature and order thereof. In certaine homilies or sermons, for the benefit of all those, that with care and conscience intend at any time publikely or priuately to put in practise the same. By Nicolas Bownde Doctor of diuinitie. Perused and allowed by publike authoritie.	Bownd, Nicholas, d. 1613.	1604 (1604)	STC 3438; ESTC S114771	132,330	360

the_o glory_n of_o god_n and_o love_n to_o the_o salvation_n of_o our_o brethren_n that_o we_o shall_v we_o may_v see_v that_o beside_o this_o grievous_a plague_n that_o be_v and_o have_v be_v not_o only_o upon_o our_o enemy_n if_o we_o have_v any_o but_o upon_o our_o neighbour_n &_o friend_n which_o require_v public_a fast_n we_o have_v many_o cause_n to_o have_v do_v it_o private_o often_o &_o long_o before_o this_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o horrible_a abomination_n and_o sin_n commit_v against_o god_n and_o against_o man_n every_o where_o and_o that_o we_o may_v be_v move_v unto_o it_o indeed_o we_o may_v further_o consider_v that_o we_o have_v not_o only_o the_o example_n of_o man_n but_o of_o godly_a woman_n in_o this_o kind_n who_o have_v give_v themselves_o much_o unto_o private_a fast_n for_o we_o read_v in_o the_o gospel_n of_o anna_n the_o daughter_n of_o phanuel_n who_o be_v a_o prophetess_n 2.37_o luk_n 2.37_o and_o a_o widow_n of_o a_o great_a age_n who_o go_v not_o out_o of_o the_o temple_n but_o serve_v god_n with_o fast_v and_o prayer_n night_n and_o day_n fast_n anna_n the_o prophetess_n use_v much_o private_a fast_n this_o holy_a woman_n live_v in_o those_o corrupt_a time_n a_o little_a before_o the_o come_n of_o our_o saviour_n christ_n when_o all_o thing_n in_o the_o church_n be_v out_o of_o order_n do_v often_o humble_a herself_o before_o god_n in_o fast_v and_o prayer_n and_o seek_v earnest_o unto_o god_n tor_z a_o redress_n of_o they_o &_o she_o do_v not_o hecrein_o loose_v her_o labour_n but_o have_v the_o fruit_n of_o they_o for_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o though_o she_o be_v a_o widow_n and_o about_o fourscore_o and_o four_o year_n yet_o she_o live_v to_o see_v christ_n come_v in_o the_o flesh_n to_o her_o unspeakable_a comfort_n and_o confess_v he_o likewise_o and_o speak_v of_o he_o to_o all_o that_o look_v for_o redemption_n in_o jerusalem_n to_o the_o comfort_n of_o many_o thus_o we_o see_v how_o we_o ought_v to_o have_v fast_v private_o oftentimes_o before_o so_o may_v we_o happy_o have_v escape_v at_o the_o least_o some_o great_a thing_n that_o have_v befall_v we_o and_o obtain_v many_o great_a blessing_n which_o now_o we_o have_v want_v and_o also_o we_o see_v what_o we_o must_v do_v hereafter_o if_o we_o will_v look_v to_o escape_v many_o evil_n and_o enjoy_v many_o blessing_n with_o the_o child_n of_o god_n and_o that_o at_o this_o present_a we_o have_v need_v to_o do_v as_o we_o do_v even_o to_o continue_v these_o public_a fast_n that_o so_o we_o may_v make_v a_o supply_n of_o that_o
