doctrine_n first_o 1._o that_o this_o outward_a abstinence_n be_v not_o the_o chief_a part_n of_o a_o true_a fast_o not_o the_o chief_a help_n to_o our_o prayer_n the_o inward_a humiliation_n of_o

the_o restrain_v of_o ourselves_o in_o these_o four_o thing_n be_v in_o itself_o no_o service_n of_o god_n nor_o acceptable_a at_o all_o unto_o he_o further_o than_o as_o it_o be_v a_o help_n to_o the_o inward_a humiliation_n of_o the_o heart_n and_o even_o animate_v by_o it_o that_o that_o be_v say_v of_o the_o one_o of_o these_o may_v be_v fit_o say_v of_o all_o mat._n 15._o 11._o that_o

and_o help_n to_o humiliation_n must_v be_v increase_v according_a to_o the_o increase_n and_o urgency_n of_o the_o cause_n as_o there_o be_v degree_n in_o god_n judgement_n on_o a_o land_n or_o

and_o such_o as_o do_v more_o deep_o affect_v the_o heart_n so_o ought_v these_o outward_a sign_n and_o help_v of_o our_o humiliation_n be_v proportionable_a thereunto_o whereas_o ordinary_o the_o
