in_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n though_o wrong_a notion_n and_o the_o too_o general_a looseness_n have_v withdraw_v some_o and_o the_o bold_a insult_v of_o profaneness_n intimidate_v other_o and_o thus_o lessen_v the_o piety_n and_o virtue_n and_o decency_n and_o gravity_n of_o that_o devotion_n that_o bless_v the_o first_o age_n of_o the_o reformation_n yet_o without_o vanity_n and_o

her_o rubric_n wherein_o she_o direct_v her_o child_n to_o a_o weekly_a fast_a by_o which_o i_o shall_v presume_v to_o think_v she_o intend_v not_o so_o much_o a_o total_a abstinence_n or_o particular_a kind_n of_o diet_n as_o to_o prescribe_v period_n for_o a_o more_o exact_a review_n of_o our_o life_n and_o more_o especial_a oblation_n of_o our_o thanks_o and_o prayer_n to_o god_n accompany_v with_o the_o strict_a measure_n of_o temperance_n for_o though_o abstinence_n be_v of_o admirable_a use_n to_o some_o constitution_n and_o not_o only_o redouble_v the_o piety_n of_o the_o

yet_o there_o be_v other_o temper_n that_o not_o only_o frustrate_v but_o pervert_v all_o the_o religious_a end_n of_o abstinence_n but_o he_o that_o have_v a_o will_n to_o it_o can_v want_v neither_o ability_n nor_o time_n to_o consecrate_v a_o hour_n in_o a_o week_n to_o repentance_n and_o devotion_n he_o that_o can_v observe_v the_o rubric_n in_o a_o day_n of_o fast_v may_v confess_v his_o sin_n to_o god_n and_o beg_v his_o pardon_n and_o can_v be_v so_o oppress_v with_o business_n but_o his_o busy_a thought_n may_v reflect_v on_o the_o mercy_n he_o owe_v to_o god_n or_o on_o his_o own_o demerit_n and_o if_o we_o consider_v the_o general_a practice_n of_o mankind_n it_o will_v appear_v a_o unaccountable_a and_o stupendous_a folly_n that_o the_o affair_n which_o only_o deserve_v our_o
