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.

of_o god_n 23.27_o leu._n 23.27_o so_o likewise_o moses_n speak_v of_o the_o day_n of_o fast_n say_v it_o shall_v be_v a_o holy_a convocation_n unto_o you_o and_o you_o shall_v humble_v your_o soul_n

and_o that_o they_o shall_v not_o meet_v about_o worldly_a matter_n but_o speak_v of_o sacrifice_n as_o a_o part_n of_o god_n worship_n then_o to_o be_v use_v therefore_o concern_v the_o service_n of_o god_n this_o day_n to_o be_v use_v as_o upon_o the_o sabbath_n day_n beside_o the_o daily_a morning_n and_o evening_n sacrifice_n there_o be_v a_o peculiar_a kind_n of_o sacrifice_n appoint_v

the_o day_n in_o we_o public_a service_n of_o god_n so_o ought_v it_o to_o be_v upon_o the_o day_n of_o fast_o and_o this_o be_v the_o practice_n of_o the_o people_n of_o god_n as_o we_o read_v in_o the_o book_n of_o nehemiah_n 1._o neh._n 9_o 1._o where_o it_o be_v say_v that_o all_o the_o israelite_n assemble_v with_o fast_v assembly_n therefore_o long_o time_n then_o ordinary_a shall_v be_v spend_v in_o the_o public_a assembly_n and_o with_o sackcloth_n and_o earth_n upon_o they_o &_o the_o levite_n stand_v up_o in_o their_o place_n and_o read_v in_o the_o book_n of_o the_o law_n of_o the_o lord_n their_o god_n four_o time_n on_o the_o day_n and_o they_o confess_v and_o worship_v the_o lord_n their_o god_n four_o time_n so_o that_o both_o for_o the_o exercise_n of_o the_o word_n and_o for_o prayer_n all_o be_v extraordinary_a and_o so_o ought_v it_o to_o be_v among_o we_o that_o we_o shall_v not_o only_o do_v as_o we_o do_v namely_o twice_o a_o day_n once_o in_o the_o

be_v able_a or_o have_v more_o help_n as_o it_o be_v say_v in_o this_o congregation_n of_o the_o jew_n they_o have_v for_o the_o levite_n be_v reckon_v up_o by_o name_n who_o speak_v even_o jeshua_n and_o bani_n kadmiel_n 4.5_o vers_fw-la 4.5_o shebaniah_n bunni_n sherebiah_n bani_n &_o chenani_n who_o cry_v with_o a_o loud_a voice_n unto_o the_o lord_n their_o god_n and_o they_o stand_v up_o and_o say_v praise_v the_o lord_n your_o god_n for_o ever_o and_o ever_o and_o let_v they_o praise_v thy_o glorious_a name_n o_o god_n which_o excel_v about_o all_o thanksgiving_n &_o praise_n where_o

see_v how_o this_o day_n ought_v to_o be_v spend_v therefore_o they_o that_o come_v to_o the_o church_n in_o the_o forenoon_n and_o absent_v themselves_o in_o the_o afternoon_n without_o any_o

permit_v and_o here_o again_o we_o have_v just_a cause_n to_o find_v fault_n with_o the_o popish_a pretend_a fast_n who_o as_o in_o many_o other_o thing_n they_o swerve_v from_o the_o word_n of_o

their_o business_n as_o upon_o any_o other_o day_n &_o they_o that_o profess_v to_o keep_v it_o most_o devout_o yet_o do_v not_o leave_v their_o business_n until_o noon_n and_o then_o not_o whole_o

they_o think_v that_o they_o may_v lawful_o do_v it_o though_o it_o hold_v they_o occupy_v until_o night_n so_o they_o make_v no_o conscience_n of_o not_o work_v and_o beside_o this_o they_o have_v
