A42091	The fast: As it was delivered in a sermon at St. Margarets in Westminster, before the honorable House of Commons upon Wednesday the 12th. of June 1661. being the day appointed by His Majesty and the Parliament, for a solemn humiliation upon the late abundance of rain, and the danger of famine, and pestilence likely to ensue thereby. / By Tho: Grenfield A.M.

but_o my_o application_n and_o your_o practice_n you_o be_v here_o meet_v in_o the_o house_n of_o god_n and_o what_o to_o do_v to_o fast_o and_o for_o what_o the_o suspicion_n and_o fear_n of_o a_o

we_o home_o to_o god_n but_o yet_o it_o be_v observable_a how_o early_o we_o be_v in_o this_o duty_n we_o fast_o for_o a_o judgement_n that_o be_v not_o yet_o upon_o we_o further_o than_o the_o fear_n and_o suspicion_n of_o it_o it_o will_v be_v much_o more_o ingenuous_a to_o be_v early_o and_o quick_a in_o fast_v for_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o nation_n as_o we_o be_v for_o the_o danger_n of_o it_o those_o i_o be_o sure_a be_v ripe_a enough_o and_o ready_a for_o the_o sickle_n we_o be_v much_o beyond_o the_o suspicion_n of_o sin_n we_o be_v under_o the_o commission_n of_o it_o and_o yet_o as_o yet_o we_o have_v have_v no_o fast_n for_o these_o it_o will_v very_o much_o beautify_v the_o beginning_n of_o this_o bless_a revolution_n and_o fortunate_a change_n of_o thing_n we_o live_v under_o to_o begin_v with_o such_o a_o fast_o as_o this_o but_o it_o seem_v we_o love_v our_o belly_n very_o well_o and_o as_o some_o follow_v christ_n for_o the_o loaf_n so_o we_o fast_o for_o fear_v we_o shall_v want_v the_o loaf_n we_o fast_o for_o fear_v that_o we_o shall_v fast_o but_o since_o it_o be_v so_o that_o the_o work_n of_o this_o day_n stand_v state_v to_o my_o hand_n upon_o this_o

there_o be_v and_o what_o be_v it_o to_o tell_v you_o that_o it_o be_v wickedness_n in_o the_o general_n be_v to_o fling_v a_o whole_a loaf_n at_o your_o head_n and_o not_o to_o cut_v it_o for_o you_o

tell_v adam_n gen._n 3._o 17._o that_o the_o ground_n be_v curse_v for_o his_o sake_n that_o be_v for_o his_o sin_n so_o if_o our_o ground_n now_o be_v like_a to_o undergo_v a_o curse_n it_o be_v for_o our_o sin_n and_o for_o what_o sin_n certain_o for_o some_o sin_n above_o other_o for_o as_o the_o cloud_n send_v down_o no_o other_o water_n than_o what_o the_o earth_n send_v up_o so_o there_o
