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

god_n towards_o his_o church_n to_o which_o special_o he_o have_v give_v his_o word_n and_o the_o minister_n thereof_o to_o warn_v they_o of_o his_o deserve_a punishment_n beforehand_o as_o it_o be_v say_v of_o the_o prophet_n ezekiel_n 3.17_o ezek._n 3.17_o son_n of_o man_n i_o have_v make_v thou_o a_o watchman_n to_o the_o house_n of_o israel_n therefore_o hear_v the_o word_n at_o my_o mouth_n and_o give_v they_o warning_n from_o i_o so_o we_o have_v not_o want_v this_o great_a mercy_n of_o god_n for_o by_o the_o minister_n of_o our_o time_n from_o the_o truth_n of_o god_n word_n we_o have_v be_v warn_v of_o his_o judgement_n to_o come_v from_o time_n to_o time_n who_o though_o by_o the_o spirit_n of_o prophecy_n they_o can_v not_o foretell_v when_o in_o what_o day_n or_o month_n or_o year_n or_o after_o what_o manner_n either_o with_o the_o sword_n famine_n or_o pestilence_n as_o the_o prophet_n do_v in_o their_o time_n to_o who_o it_o be_v special_o reveal_v yet_o out_o of_o the_o most_o certain_a truth_n of_o god_n word_n and_o the_o constant_a course_n of_o his_o deal_n in_o former_a time_n they_o have_v constant_o avouch_v and_o say_v that_o god_n must_v needs_o before_o it_o be_v long_o some_o way_n punish_v we_o for_o our_o sin_n as_o it_o be_v now_o come_v to_o pass_v and_o as_o it_o have_v be_v preach_v unto_o the_o people_n before_o and_o have_v not_o this_o be_v severelie_o denounce_v against_o we_o often_o 3.10_o math._n 3.10_o which_o john_n baptist_n do_v against_o the_o jew_n now_o be_v the_o axe_n put_v to_o the_o root_n of_o the_o tree_n therefore_o every_o tree_n which_o bring_v not_o forth_o good_a fruit_n shall_v be_v hew_v down_o and_o cast_v into_o the_o fire_n have_v it_o not_o be_v preach_v that_o god_n will_v utter_o destroy_v all_o those_o that_o live_v unprofitable_a under_o his_o gospel_n destroy_v they_o i_o say_v even_o by_o the_o root_n yet_o undoubted_o this_o have_v be_v often_o sound_v in_o the_o ear_n of_o all_o hearer_n 21.19_o chap._n 21.19_o and_o that_o the_o figtree_n that_o have_v nothing_o on_o it_o but_o leaf_n shall_v be_v accurse_v and_o wither_v that_o be_v all_o hypocrite_n that_o content_v

and_o the_o benefit_n of_o other_o shall_v be_v discover_v in_o time_n and_o come_v to_o nought_o according_o to_o the_o prayer_n of_o the_o prophet_n do_v well_o o_o lord_n unto_o those_o 125.4_o psal_n 125.4_o that_o be_v good_a &_o true_a in_o their_o heart_n but_o these_o that_o turn_v aside_o by_o the_o crooked_a way_n they_o shall_v the_o lord_n lead_v with_o the_o worker_n of_o

severe_o punish_v those_o at_o the_o last_o that_o abuse_v his_o great_a patience_n as_o appear_v in_o the_o parable_n of_o a_o certain_a housbandman_n who_o have_v a_o figtree_n plant_v in_o his_o vineyard_n &_o he_o come_v and_o seek_v fruit_n therein_o and_o find_v none_o then_o say_v he_o to_o the_o dresser_n of_o his_o vineyard_n behold_v this_o three_o year_n have_v i_o come_v and_o seek_v fruit_n of_o this_o figtree_n and_o find_v none_o cut_v it_o down_o why_o keep_v it_o also_o the_o ground_n barren_a and_o he_o answer_v and_o say_v unto_o he_o lord_n let_v it_o alone_o this_o year_n also_o till_o i_o dig_v round_o about_o it_o and_o dung_n it_o and_o if_o it_o bear_v fruit_n well_o if_o not_o then_o after_o thou_o shall_v cut_v it_o down_o 2.4_o rom._n 2.4_o so_o the_o god_n of_o patience_n who_o thereby_o lead_v all_o man_n to_o repentance_n or_o leave_v they_o without_o excuse_n have_v wait_v for_o our_o repentance_n and_o amendment_n of_o life_n as_o the_o fruit_n of_o all_o the_o pain_n that_o he_o have_v take_v with_o we_o in_o his_o gospel_n but_o undoubted_o if_o after_o this_o preach_n from_o year_n to_o year_n we_o remain_v unfruitful_a at_o the_o last_o he_o will_v root_v they_o up_o which_o make_v the_o church_n barren_a which_o be_v in_o it_o own_o nature_n the_o most_o fruitful_a place_n in_o the_o world_n wrath_n and_o therefore_o we_o ought_v long_o ago_o to_o have_v seek_v unto_o god_n in_o fast_v and_o craier_n to_o escape_v this_o wrath_n these_o &_o such_o like_a thing_n have_v not_o only_o be_v preach_v every_o where_o but_o with_o great_a earnestness_n and_o zeal_n so_o utter_v that_o we_o may_v easy_o discern_v that_o they_o speak_v not_o of_o themselves_o but_o be_v thereunto_o stir_v up_o by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n so_o that_o god_n warn_v we_o of_o his_o judgement_n by_o they_o and_o therefore_o we_o shall_v have_v believe_v they_o and_o so_o have_v seek_v heretofore_o by_o fast_v and_o prayer_n to_o have_v these_o ●●ings_n turn_v away_o for_o as_o david_n when●he_v prophet_n nathan_n terrify_v his_o con●ience_n with_o the_o fearful_a denunciation_n god_n judgement_n for_o his_o sin_n say_v 12.9_o 2._o sam._n 12.9_o wherefore_o have_v thou_o despise_v the_o commandment_n of_o the_o lord_n to_o do_v evil_a in_o his_o sight_n therefore_o the_o sword_n shall_v never_o depart_v from_o thy_o house_n then_o he_o beseech_v the_o lord_n &_o fast_v and_o lay_v all_o night_n upon_o the_o earth_n before_o all_o come_v upon_o he_o and_o as_o ahab_n king_n of_o israel_n when_o eliah_n the_o prophet_n reprove_v he_o sharp_o for_o his_o sin_n say_v unto_o he_o in_o the_o name_n of_o god_n behold_v i_o will_v bring_v evil_a upon_o thou_o and_o take_v away_o thy_o posterity_n 21.21_o 1._o king_n 21.21_o etc._n etc._n when_o he_o hear_v these_o word_n he_o rend_v his_o clothes_n and_o put_v sackcloth_n upon_o he_o and_o fast_v and_o so_o both_o these_o when_o they_o do_v hear_v from_o messenger_n of_o god_n what_o be_v due_a to_o they_o for_o their_o sin_n they_o seek_v by_o private_a fast_n to_o have_v it_o turn_v away_o so_o when_o the_o lord_n every_o where_o stir_v up_o his_o servant_n with_o all_o zeal_n and_o fervency_n of_o spirit_n more_o then_o ordinary_o thus_o to_o speak_v unto_o we_o and_o do_v sing_v unto_o we_o the_o doleful_a song_n of_o his_o heavy_a judgement_n and_o so_o with_o john_n baptist_n do_v mourn_v unto_o we_o 7.32_o luk._n 7.32_o that_o we_o may_v have_v weep_v we_o shall_v have_v do_v as_o the_o ninivites_fw-la do_v 3.5_o jona_n 3.5_o that_o be_v we_o shall_v have_v believe_v god_n and_o his_o servant_n and_o have_v put_v on_o sackcloth_n from_o the_o great_a to_o the_o least_o and_o so_o by_o fast_v and_o prayer_n have_v seek_v unto_o the_o lord_n to_o turn_v it_o away_o &_o not_o careless_o to_o have_v tarry_v till_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n be_v upon_o we_o as_o now_o we_o have_v do_v we_o shall_v have_v be_v wise_a as_o other_o have_v be_v before_o we_o to_o have_v take_v knowledge_n of_o god_n wrath_n to_o come_v by_o the_o threaten_n of_o his_o word_n preach_v unto_o we_o by_o his_o servant_n and_o so_o seek_v to_o prevent_v they_o as_o they_o do_v thus_o we_o see_v ourselves_o a_o conclusion_n show_v what_o cause_n there_o be_v of_o public_a fast_n in_o respect_n of_o god_n wrath_n appear_v against_o ourselves_o that_o whether_o we_o look_v to_o the_o time_n present_a or_o to_o come_v and_o therein_o to_o the_o course_n of_o god_n providence_n whereby_o if_o we_o consider_v all_o thing_n well_o we_o have_v more_o

against_o we_o or_o we_o consider_v this_o that_o our_o sin_n have_v be_v sharp_o reproove_v and_o god_n curse_v for_o they_o threaten_v against_o we_o by_o those_o that_o have_v speak_v unto_o we_o in_o his_o name_n we_o have_v great_a cause_n to_o do_v as_o we_o do_v i_o mean_v to_o resort_v thus_o to_o the_o church_n to_o seek_v unto_o god_n by_o fast_v and_o prayer_n yea_o we_o shall_v have_v do_v it_o long_o before_o and_o see_v that_o there_o be_v so_o many_o cause_n of_o public_a fast_n among_o we_o we_o must_v therefore_o think_v that_o the_o lord_n require_v the_o thing_n itself_o
