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

they_o namely_o the_o sign_n of_o god_n wrath_n by_o all_o likelihood_n short_o to_o come_v upon_o they_o wherein_o they_o have_v provident_o behave_v themselves_o like_v unto_o those_o that_o be_v wise_a who_o be_v in_o their_o journey_n and_o spy_v a_o black_a cloud_n to_o arise_v &_o so_o perceive_v some_o great_a tempest_n to_o be_v at_o hand_n have_v either_o prepare_v themselves_o well_o for_o it_o or_o have_v seek_v some_o shelter_n against_o it_o so_o they_o foresee_v by_o all_o probable_a conjecture_n so_o great_a calamity_n to_o come_v upon_o they_o have_v by_o fast_v and_o prayer_n seek_v unto_o the_o lord_n as_o to_o the_o only_a governor_n and_o disposer_n of_o all_o thing_n either_o of_o his_o great_a mercy_n to_o turn_v it_o away_o from_o they_o or_o of_o his_o infinite_a compassion_n to_o mitigate_v the_o extremity_n of_o it_o or_o to_o give_v they_o patience_n and_o strength_n to_o bear_v it_o or_o that_o some_o way_n or_o other_o they_o may_v find_v favour_n with_o he_o in_o it_o and_o concern_v the_o sign_n and_o token_n of_o god_n wrath_n short_o to_o come_v they_o have_v wise_o observe_v and_o consider_v of_o they_o diverse_o as_o first_o of_o all_o in_o the_o course_n of_o his_o providence_n that_o see_v ordinary_o such_o and_o such_o cause_n do_v bring_v forth_o such_o effect_n &_o event_n and_o therefore_o by_o the_o cause_n as_o by_o a_o sign_n more_o than_o probable_a providence_n which_o sign_n have_v be_v consider_v in_o the_o ordinary_a course_n of_o god_n providence_n they_o have_v not_o unaduised_o fear_v such_o sequels_fw-fr and_o have_v see_v god_n anger_n in_o they_o and_o namely_o we_o see_v that_o unseasonable_a weather_n as_o want_v of_o rain_n in_o due_a season_n or_o too_o great_a abundance_n of_o it_o out_o of_o time_n betoken_v scarcity_n of_o the_o fruit_n of_o the_o earth_n and_o so_o consequent_o dearth_n and_o famine_n preparation_n for_o war_n by_o a_o mighty_a and_o strong_a enemy_n threaten_v the_o loss_n of_o man_n and_o spoil_v of_o good_n the_o beginning_n of_o the_o plague_n portend_v great_a mortality_n and_o such_o like_a therefore_o when_o there_o have_v be_v but_o the_o begin_n of_o such_o thing_n see_v the_o stormy_a tempest_n as_o it_o be_v arise_v they_o have_v seek_v by_o this_o ordinance_n of_o fast_v as_o by_o a_o sure_a refuge_n to_o escape_v it_o and_o so_o we_o read_v that_o when_o there_o come_v some_o and_o tell_v jehoshaphat_n king_n of_o judah_n say_v 20.2_o 2._o chr._n 20.2_o there_o come_v a_o great_a multitude_n against_o thou_o from_o beyond_o the_o sea_n out_o of_o aram_n and_o behold_v they_o be_v in_o hazzon_n tamar_n which_o be_v in_o engedi_n and_o jehoshaphat_n fefeared_a &_o sit_v himself_o to_o seek_v the_o lord_n &_o proclaim_v a_o fast_a throughout_o all_o judah_n &_o judah_n gather_v themselves_o together_o to_o ask_v counsel_n of_o the_o lord_n they_o come_v out_o of_o all_o the_o city_n of_o judah_n to_o inquire_v of_o the_o lord_n thus_o we_o see_v when_o this_o huge_a army_n of_o the_o ammonite_n &_o moabite_n and_o mount_v seir_n do_v but_o come_v up_o against_o jerusalem_n at_o the_o first_o hear_v of_o it_o though_o yet_o nothing_o be_v do_v neither_o be_v they_o come_v to_o they_o consider_v what_o be_v likely_a to_o be_v the_o event_n of_o that_o war_n if_o they_o have_v proceed_v and_o if_o the_o lord_n have_v not_o holpen_v they_o he_o proclaim_v a_o fast_n and_o do_v thus_o seek_v to_o escape_v that_o which_o be_v like_a to_o come_v so_o likewise_o in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o captivity_n when_o ambitious_a and_o cruel_a haman_n the_o mortal_a enemy_n of_o the_o jew_n so_o breathe_v after_o their_o utter_a destruction_n that_o he_o cease_v not_o to_o cast_v lot_n from_o day_n to_o day_n to_o find_v out_o a_o prosperous_a time_n to_o bring_v his_o mischievous_a purpose_n to_o pass_v and_o at_o the_o last_o have_v get_v the_o king_n to_o set_v his_o hand_n to_o a_o decree_n concern_v the_o final_a race_v of_o they_o all_o out_o in_o one_o day_n and_o mordecay_n have_v send_v the_o copy_n of_o this_o commission_n to_o the_o queen_n hester_n 4.6_o hest_n 4.6_o long_o before_o the_o bloody_a day_n of_o that_o intend_a massacre_n come_v they_o seek_v unto_o the_o lord_n they_o and_o so_o they_o have_v seek_v to_o prevent_v god_n wrath_n and_o have_v not_o tarry_v till_o it_o come_v upon_o they_o for_o hester_n command_v hereupon_o that_o they_o shall_v assemble_v all_o the_o jew_n and_o fast_o and_o pray_v for_o she_o as_o she_o likewise_o promise_v for_o herself_o &_o for_o her_o maid_n that_o they_o will_v do_v so_o also_o so_o that_o these_o before_o their_o enemy_n begin_v the_o slaughter_n by_o all_o probability_n of_o that_o that_o be_v do_v already_o see_v what_o be_v most_o like_a to_o ensue_v if_o god_n be_v not_o merciful_a unto_o they_o to_o turn_v the_o hart_n of_o the_o king_n towards_o they_o beforehand_o they_o seek_v by_o fast_v &_o prayer_n to_o escape_v it_o and_o do_v so_o as_o it_o follow_v in_o that_o story_n more_o at_o large_a and_o so_o by_o these_o few_o example_n we_o see_v how_o the_o servant_n of_o god_n that_o have_v be_v godly_a wise_n have_v not_o always_o tarry_v until_o god_n wrath_n in_o some_o of_o his_o punishment_n have_v seize_v upon_o they_o but_o the_o very_a foresight_n of_o it_o a_o loof_o of_o have_v be_v enough_o to_o move_v they_o to_o seek_v unto_o the_o lord_n in_o fast_v and_o prayer_n to_o escape_v it_o or_o to_o find_v mercy_n in_o it_o even_o as_o a_o ingenuous_a child_n and_o he_o that_o be_v of_o any_o good_a disposition_n seek_v to_o his_o father_n for_o pardon_n not_o only_a when_o he_o be_v under_o the_o rod_n of_o correction_n and_o feel_v the_o stripe_n but_o when_o he_o see_v his_o father_n with_o a_o angry_a countenance_n come_v towards_o he_o with_o the_o rod_n in_o his_o hand_n so_o they_o have_v not_o tarry_v till_o they_o have_v feel_v the_o smart_n of_o god_n correction_n upon_o themselves_o but_o the_o very_a show_n of_o his_o wrath_n come_v against_o they_o have_v be_v sufficient_a to_o move_v they_o to_o humble_v themselves_o before_o he_o and_o to_o crave_v his_o pardon_n in_o which_o respect_n also_o beside_o that_o that_o we_o speak_v of_o before_o we_o must_v needs_o confess_v that_o we_o have_v great_a cause_n to_o fast_o and_o pray_v public_o for_o beside_o that_o great_a wrath_n of_o god_n that_o have_v be_v a_o long_a time_n upon_o our_o brethren_n fast_n in_o respect_n of_o god_n wrath_n likely_a yet_o further_o to_o come_v upon_o u●_n there_o be_v cause_n of_o these_o public_a fast_n which_o be_v a_o thing_n present_a and_o so_o ought_v to_o move_v if_o we_o further_o consider_v what_o cause_n we_o have_v to_o fear_v ourselves_o our_o house_n and_o our_o town_n though_o hitherto_o by_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n nothing_o be_v come_v upon_o we_o we_o shall_v acknowledge_v it_o to_o be_v true_a and_o to_o this_o end_n we_o must_v acknowledge_v the_o nature_n of_o this_o disease_n to_o be_v very_o contagious_a and_o infective_a above_o all_o other_o and_o that_o it_o spread_v from_o one_o place_n to_o another_o after_o a_o special_a manner_n and_o that_o it_o infect_v also_o after_o a_o extraordinary_a kind_n as_o not_o only_o by_o touch_v and_o eat_v and_o drink_v with_o they_o and_o keep_v they_o company_n that_o

without_o the_o which_o we_o can_v not_o live_v so_o it_o be_v most_o subtle_a and_o speedy_a above_o all_o other_o so_o that_o it_o work_v in_o we_o with_o great_a expedition_n whereupon_o it_o

so_o infect_v deadly_a and_o speedy_o as_o all_o poison_n do_v all_o the_o part_n of_o the_o body_n infect_v ●f_o we_o consider_v the_o contagious_a nature_n of_o the_o plague_n how_o speedy_o and_o how_o deadly_a ●t_z infect_v and_o not_o so_o much_o corrupt_v the_o humour_n of_o the_o body_n which_o be_v sufficient_a to_o breed_v deadly_a disease_n as_o it_o infect_v the_o heart_n and_o the_o
