feast_n of_o the_o lord_n which_o you_o shall_v proclaim_v to_o be_v holy_a convocation_n even_o these_o be_v my_o feast_n and_o after_o the_o enumeration_n of_o they_o it_o be_v say_v 37._o say_v verse_n 37._o these_o be_v the_o feast_n of_o the_o lord_n which_o he_o shall_v proclaim_v to_o be_v holy_a convocation_n to_o offer_v a_o offer_v make_v by_o fire_n unto_o the_o lord_n etc._n etc._n and_o in_o the_o end_n of_o the_o chapter_n after_o all_o it_o be_v add_v and_o moses_n declare_v unto_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n the_o feast_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o from_o hence_o it_o may_v be_v gather_v that_o this_o day_n of_o expiation_n which_o be_v place_v among_o these_o holy-day_n be_v intend_v as_o a_o festival_n day_n rather_o than_o as_o a_o fast_a day_n and_o therefore_o the_o fast_a or_o humiliation_n here_o command_v be_v a_o appurtenance_n of_o the_o feast_n and_o a_o service_n require_v on_o that_o holy_a day_n &_o this_o day_n be_v appoint_v to_o be_v keep_v for_o a_o holy_a day_n not_o because_o it_o be_v a_o fast_a day_n second_o we_o may_v note_v in_o the_o description_n of_o this_o day_n that_o the_o chief_a thing_n for_o which_o this_o day_n be_v intend_v be_v for_o expiation_n and_o atonement_n three_o that_o the_o mean_n by_o which_o this_o may_v be_v wrought_v and_o the_o thing_n which_o god_n require_v for_o the_o celebration_n of_o this_o day_n be_v a_o holy_a rest_n a_o public_a meeting_n a_o affliction_n of_o the_o soul_n and_o a_o offer_v make_v by_o fire_n and_o hence_o we_o may_v gather_v that_o a_o holy_a day_n and_o a_o fast_a day_n be_v here_o join_v as_o two_o thing_n both_o of_o which_o respect_n one_o end_n and_o therefore_o it_o follow_v not_o the_o people_n be_v here_o command_v to_o keep_v a_o holy_a rest_n upon_o this_o fast_a day_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v necessary_a that_o every_o fast_a day_n shall_v be_v keep_v holy_a no_o more_o than_o this_o argument_n will_v follow_v from_o the_o same_o place_n here_o the_o people_n be_v command_v to_o keep_v this_o holy_a day_n with_o fast_v and_o humiliation_n and_o therefore_o every_o holy_a day_n must_v be_v a_o fast_a day_n four_o we_o may_v note_v that_o the_o reason_n why_o god_n appoint_v this_o day_n to_o be_v keep_v holy_a be_v say_v in_o the_o text_n to_o be_v this_o because_o it_o be_v a_o day_n of_o atonement_n for_o they_o before_o the_o lord_n but_o it_o be_v not_o say_v that_o it_o be_v to_o be_v keep_v holy_a because_o it_o be_v a_o fast_a day_n and_o hence_o i_o may_v conclude_v that_o the_o text_n do_v give_v no_o warrant_n that_o every_o fast_a day_n must_v be_v keep_v holy_a day_n now_o let_v the_o reader_n lie_v these_o note_n and_o collection_n from_o the_o text_n together_o and_o compare_v they_o with_o the_o reason_n bring_v to_o prove_v the_o contrary_a and_o he_o will_v easy_o see_v how_o weak_a the_o argument_n be_v for_o the_o only_a reason_n that_o ever_o i_o read_v or_o hear_v of_o from_o this_o text_n for_o proof_n of_o this_o conclusion_n be_v this_o god_n here_o command_v this_o fast_a day_n to_o be_v keep_v holy_a and_o therefore_o every_o fast_a day_n must_v be_v so_o keep_v which_o be_v nothing_o but_o a_o inference_n of_o a_o universal_a from_o a_o singular_a do_v hereby_o appear_v to_o be_v weak_a and_o frivolous_a beside_o the_o reason_n now_o allege_v from_o the_o text_n to_o the_o contrary_n and_o now_o after_o all_o see_v that_o this_o be_v the_o only_a place_n on_o which_o this_o former_a conclusion_n be_v ground_v and_o it_o have_v so_o little_a reason_n in_o it_o as_o have_v be_v show_v it_o remain_v that_o to_o say_v every_o fast_a day_n of_o necessity_n must_v be_v a_o holy_a day_n be_v a_o error_n without_o all_o ground_n of_o probability_n the_o thing_n then_o that_o i_o mean_v when_o i_o say_v that_o it_o be_v require_v that_o on_o the_o day_n of_o our_o fast_n the_o soul_n shall_v practice_v such_o duty_n as_o a_o fastingday_n by_o the_o outward_a behaviour_n do_v include_v be_v that_o as_o by_o fast_v we_o profess_v our_o sorrow_n for_o sin_n with_o a_o purpose_n to_o serve_v god_n better_o and_o do_v abstain_v from_o fleshly_a comfort_n that_o we_o may_v more_o free_o enjoy_v the_o comfort_n of_o the_o spirit_n so_o a_o christian_n shall_v use_v serious_a meditation_n and_o consideration_n of_o thing_n requisite_a for_o this_o purpose_n as_o for_o example_n he_o shall_v examine_v his_o conscience_n search_v out_o the_o state_n of_o his_o soul_n settle_v in_o himself_o a_o purpose_n of_o amendment_n confess_v his_o sin_n that_o make_v he_o unworthy_a to_o taste_v any_o of_o god_n creature_n and_o pray_v for_o grace_n to_o live_v better_o and_o that_o these_o and_o such_o like_a holy_a thought_n and_o desire_n be_v requisite_a upon_o our_o fast_a day_n i_o be_o induce_v to_o think_v partly_o because_o in_o public_a fast_n 320._o fast_n judg._n 20.26_o 2_o chron._n 20.3_o 4._o ezrah_n 8.23_o jer._n 36.6_o 9_o

the_o church_n have_v be_v accustom_v to_o spend_v part_n of_o the_o day_n in_o public_a meeting_n and_o in_o religious_a exercise_n and_o partly_o because_o that_o outward_a abstinence_n can_v of_o itself_o work_v those_o gracious_a effect_n whereof_o i_o have_v speak_v before_o unless_o the_o soul_n by_o consideration_n &_o holy_a thought_n do_v apply_v &_o make_v use_n of_o his_o outward_a humiliation_n to_o this_o purpose_n for_o fast_v be_v not_o like_a physic_n which_o work_v while_o a_o man_n sleep_v but_o then_o only_o affect_v the_o soul_n and_o please_v god_n when_o the_o heart_n make_v use_v of_o it_o a_o plain_a proof_n whereof_o may_v be_v this_o fast_v have_v this_o special_a use_n among_o other_o that_o as_o the_o chastisement_n which_o god_n do_v inflict_v upon_o we_o do_v serve_v to_o humble_v we_o and_o bring_v we_o home_o by_o repentance_n so_o these_o chastisement_n voluntary_o impose_v upon_o ourselves_o may_v serve_v for_o like_a purpose_n as_o have_v be_v full_o declare_v already_o but_o no_o outward_a chastisement_n whether_o of_o god_n inflict_v or_o our_o own_o can_v work_v this_o effect_n unless_o the_o man_n do_v lay_v they_o to_o his_o heart_n and_o apply_v they_o to_o himself_o hence_o it_o be_v that_o the_o prophet_n complain_v of_o the_o people_n of_o israel_n in_o this_o manner_n 7.9_o manner_n hos_fw-la 7.9_o stranger_n have_v devour_v his_o strength_n and_o he_o know_v it_o not_o yea_o gray_a hair_n be_v here_o and_o there_o upon_o he_o yet_o he_o know_v not_o in_o which_o word_n we_o may_v note_v two_o thing_n first_o the_o correction_n that_o be_v lay_v upon_o they_o and_o they_o be_v that_o the_o enemy_n have_v waste_v and_o consume_v they_o and_o these_o and_o other_o misery_n have_v bring_v gray_a hair_n upon_o they_o and_o make_v they_o old_a before_o the_o time_n second_o the_o want_n of_o feel_v in_o the_o people_n they_o know_v it_o not_o and_o again_o yet_o they_o know_v not_o say_v the_o text._n but_o what_o consume_v by_o the_o enemy_n and_o not_o know_v that_o they_o be_v strike_v pine_a and_o become_v old_a with_o sorrow_n and_o not_o feel_v their_o misery_n no_o that_o be_v not_o the_o meaning_n they_o feel_v their_o misery_n no_o doubt_n but_o the_o prophet_n mean_v that_o they_o do_v not_o take_v notice_n nor_o think_v and_o consider_v that_o it_o be_v god_n hand_n that_o inflict_v this_o judgement_n and_o their_o own_o sin_n that_o deserve_v it_o and_o therefore_o they_o be_v never_o the_o better_a for_o all_o this_o chastisement_n and_o therefore_o another_o prophet_n complain_v to_o like_a purpose_n say_v 42.25_o say_v isal_n 42.25_o god_n pour_v upon_o israel_n the_o fury_n of_o his_o anger_n and_o the_o strength_n of_o battle_n and_o it_o have_v set_v he_o on_o fire_n round_o about_o yet_o he_o know_v not_o and_o it_o burn_v he_o yet_o he_o lay_v it_o not_o to_o heart_n which_o word_n imply_v that_o no_o plague_n move_v man_n to_o repentance_n if_o they_o do_v not_o lay_v they_o to_o heart_n and_o consider_v of_o the_o cause_n and_o the_o condition_n and_o event_n of_o such_o thing_n and_o as_o god_n chastisement_n for_o want_v of_o lay_v they_o to_o heart_n be_v without_o their_o fruit_n for_o which_o they_o be_v intend_v so_o we_o may_v not_o expect_v that_o our_o own_o chastisement_n shall_v prove_v better_o no_o for_o we_o see_v that_o 25._o that_o gen._n 25._o esau_n fast_v and_o his_o hunger_n make_v he_o sell_v away_o his_o birthright_n and_o 6._o and_o matt._n 6._o the_o pharise_n fast_v and_o their_o fast_n make_v they_o

prayer_n night_n and_o day_n in_o which_o sentence_n we_o may_v consider_v two_o thing_n for_o this_o purpose_n first_o that_o this_o holy_a woman_n make_v a_o daily_a practice_n of_o fast_v she_o serve_v god_n in_o this_o manner_n night_n and_o day_n which_o show_v that_o she_o fast_v ordinary_o and_o for_o a_o ordinary_a exercise_n of_o devotion_n second_o that_o by_o this_o kind_n of_o fast_v she_o serve_v god_n and_o if_o she_o serve_v god_n by_o her_o fast_n we_o need_v not_o fear_n lest_o we_o dishonour_v he_o by_o the_o like_a practice_n use_n reason_n second_o from_o the_o use_n second_o that_o ordinary_a fast_n be_v lawful_a and_o useful_a may_v be_v prove_v because_o ordinary_a fast_n may_v and_o do_v serve_v for_o those_o profitable_a use_n for_o which_o religious_a fast_n be_v ordain_v for_o those_o use_n be_v to_o testify_v and_o help_v forward_o our_o humiliation_n and_o repentance_n to_o sharpen_v and_o whet_v on_o our_o attention_n in_o holy_a duty_n and_o to_o subdue_v and_o tame_v the_o unruly_a pride_n of_o the_o flesh_n and_o such_o like_a the_o respect_n whereof_o be_v the_o only_a thing_n that_o make_v fast_v so_o much_o commend_v to_o we_o in_o the_o scripture_n but_o all_o these_o holy_a end_n and_o use_n may_v be_v attain_a or_o further_v no_o less_o by_o ordinary_a than_o by_o extraordinary_a fast_n for_o not_o only_o our_o fasting_n when_o we_o keep_v they_o for_o some_o special_a and_o extraordinary_a occasion_n but_o even_o those_o also_o which_o we_o use_v in_o a_o ordinary_a and_o usual_a course_n of_o christianity_n may_v tame_v the_o flesh_n by_o subtract_v its_o food_n may_v elevate_v the_o mind_n towards_o god_n by_o estrang_v it_o from_o the_o sense_n of_o worldly_a thing_n and_o may_v both_o show_v and_o beget_v our_o humiliation_n and_o sorrow_n by_o chasten_v the_o body_n for_o the_o sin_n of_o our_o soul_n as_o be_v apparent_a in_o common_a reason_n nor_o be_v it_o needless_a in_o a_o ordinary_a course_n of_o life_n to_o use_v such_o either_o help_n or_o sign_n of_o humiliation_n devotion_n and_o mortification_n for_o our_o infirmity_n in_o all_o these_o kind_n be_v many_o and_o great_a and_o have_v need_n of_o help_v every_o day_n and_o our_o sin_n and_o transgression_n happen_v daily_o nay_o hourly_o and_o do_v require_v every_o day_n humiliation_n and_o sorrow_n and_o hence_o it_o follow_v that_o this_o ordinary_a course_n of_o fast_v upon_o the_o common_a and_o usual_a occasion_n of_o our_o life_n be_v neither_o needless_a nor_o fruitless_a thus_o in_o conclusion_n it_o appear_v that_o all_o religious_a fast_n be_v they_o private_a or_o public_a and_o whether_o for_o ordinary_a or_o extraordinary_a occasion_n have_v allowance_n from_o god_n and_o be_v of_o good_a use_n in_o the_o life_n of_o a_o christian_n chap._n iii_o what_o holy_a use_n there_o be_v of_o fast_v and_o how_o it_o may_v further_o we_o for_o holy_a duty_n and_o work_n of_o god_n service_n these_o religious_a fast_n as_o they_o have_v good_a proof_n from_o god_n word_n so_o they_o have_v great_a use_n in_o the_o life_n of_o a_o christian_n more_o particular_o and_o especial_o they_o may_v serve_v for_o these_o use_n i._o they_o may_v serve_v as_o outward_a act_n to_o declare_v our_o reverence_n towards_o god_n and_o his_o sacred_a ordinance_n for_o as_o at_o all_o time_n we_o shall_v use_v reverence_n towards_o god_n in_o our_o heart_n which_o be_v nothing_o else_o but_o a_o acknowledge_v of_o his_o excellency_n for_o which_o he_o be_v to_o be_v hovour_v so_o it_o be_v very_o requisite_a that_o when_o we_o come_v into_o his_o presence_n or_o have_v any_o more_o than_o ordinary_a intercourse_n with_o he_o we_o shall_v by_o some_o fit_a behaviour_n declare_v it_o for_o

do_v manifest_v his_o presence_n and_o the_o like_a use_n there_o may_v be_v of_o fast_v also_o and_o that_o in_o two_o respect_n 1._o because_o we_o do_v by_o such_o demeanour_n humble_a ourselves_o

baseness_n so_o of_o god_n excellency_n and_o greatness_n 2._o we_o may_v by_o our_o abstinence_n show_v reverence_n to_o god_n because_o by_o forbear_v our_o meat_n when_o we_o be_v about_o his_o work_n we_o declare_v that_o we_o prefer_v his_o service_n before_o the_o serve_v of_o our_o own_o turn_n as_o deem_v it_o most_o just_a that_o his_o service_n shall_v have_v the_o first_o place_n

and_o suck_v and_o draw_v from_o it_o its_o natural_a moisture_n and_o consume_v the_o ivyce_n of_o it_o which_o action_n of_o nature_n upon_o itself_o if_o it_o be_v long_a and_o great_a do_v breed_v unsufferable_a pain_n which_o make_v man_n to_o eat_v their_o own_o flesh_n rather_o than_o endure_v it_o and_o if_o it_o be_v but_o moderate_a yet_o if_o it_o be_v continue_v above_o the_o ordinary_a and_o fit_a time_n of_o refresh_v it_o will_v more_o or_o less_o breed_v some_o sense_n of_o pain_n second_o fast_v may_v be_v say_v to_o afflict_v because_o it_o deprive_v a_o man_n of_o his_o usual_a and_o accustom_a refresh_v and_o comfort_n and_o that_o without_o any_o real_a and_o positive_a pain_n be_v a_o kind_n of_o affliction_n to_o nature_n for_o if_o a_o man_n that_o have_v be_v in_o place_n of_o authority_n and_o respect_n be_v only_o deprive_v of_o this_o honour_n and_o dignity_n that_o privation_n alone_o will_v be_v a_o corrasive_n to_o his_o soul_n and_o if_o a_o man_n

abstinence_n from_o meat_n at_o the_o usual_a time_n be_v a_o affliction_n to_o nature_n because_o she_o miss_v her_o wont_a comfort_n and_o refresh_n three_o fast_v may_v further_o be_v say_v to_o afflict_v because_o it_o be_v a_o memorial_n that_o represent_v unto_o we_o the_o just_a cause_n of_o the_o great_a sorrow_n for_o as_o when_o a_o wife_n wear_v mourn_a weed_n for_o her_o husband_n

obtain_v pardon_n in_o which_o case_n though_o we_o shall_v otherwise_o forget_v ourselves_o yet_o the_o very_a want_n of_o our_o wont_a food_n will_v cause_v a_o sight_n and_o breed_v a_o sense_n of_o our_o woeful_a estate_n and_o this_o be_v think_v to_o be_v one_o reason_n why_o the_o ninevite_n cause_v their_o child_n and_o cattle_n to_o fast_o from_o all_o food_n who_o notwithstanding_o be_v neither_o guilty_a of_o the_o sin_n nor_o capable_a of_o repentance_n because_o the_o rueful_a sight_n of_o their_o misery_n and_o the_o mourn_a sound_n of_o their_o cry_n may_v serve_v to_o increase_v the_o ninevite_n sorrow_n who_o sin_n have_v be_v the_o cause_n of_o all_o thus_o fast_v be_v in_o diverse_a respect_n a_o kind_n of_o affliction_n and_o in_o the_o religious_a use_n of_o

while_o he_o be_v about_o his_o service_n nay_o he_o will_v rather_o forbear_v some_o part_n of_o his_o service_n than_o a_o ox_n or_o a_o ass_n shall_v want_v necessary_a food_n as_o be_v evident_a
