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.

vision_n do_v show_v namely_o that_o he_o pray_v so_o fervent_o and_o so_o continual_o that_o he_o do_v not_o give_v over_o until_o he_o have_v some_o assurance_n from_o the_o lord_n by_o his_o holy_a

strive_v with_o the_o lord_n in_o our_o prayer_n as_o the_o apostle_n speak_v to_o the_o roman_n 15.30_o rom._n 15.30_o and_o require_v of_o they_o that_o they_o will_v strive_v with_o he_o by_o prayer_n to_o god_n for_o he_o and_o we_o must_v put_v all_o our_o strength_n to_o it_o as_o jacob_n do_v when_o he_o wrestle_v with_o the_o angel_n and_o to_o see_v it_o again_o more_o clear_o in_o the_o same_o comparison_n as_o a_o man_n that_o wrestle_v for_o the_o best_a game_n will_v put_v all_o his_o might_n and_o skill_n to_o it_o and_o will_v not_o give_v over_o as_o long_o as_o he_o have_v any_o thing_n in_o himself_o that_o he_o may_v prevail_v so_o must_v we_o in_o our_o prayer_n be_v so_o earnest_a &_o importunate_a with_o the_o lord_n that_o we_o rise_v not_o up_o from_o prayer_n or_o depart_v away_o from_o he_o until_o he_o have_v bless_v we_o and_o the_o hard_a that_o we_o find_v it_o to_o obtain_v any_o thing_n because_o of_o our_o sin_n the_o more_o earnest_o must_v we_o strive_v in_o prayer_n for_o it_o therefore_o now_o in_o thou_o day_n of_o fast_v let_v we_o stir_v up_o ourselves_o unto_o prayer_n and_o strive_v against_o all_o unfitnesse_n that_o may_v hinder_v we_o and_o as_o for_o other_o thing_n so_o that_o this_o great_a mortality_n may_v have_v a_o end_n without_o which_o fervency_n of_o prayer_n all_o our_o fast_n be_v nothing_o worth_a see_v then_o that_o fervency_n and_o continuance_n in_o prayer_n be_v so_o proper_a unto_o the_o time_n of_o fast_v as_o we_o have_v hear_v and_o it_o be_v special_o undertake_v to_o that_o end_n day_n the_o papist_n have_v no_o special_a prayer_n upon_o their_o fast_a day_n we_o may_v see_v by_o this_o also_o how_o far_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n &_o all_o papist_n be_v from_o the_o true_a fast_o prescribe_v in_o god_n word_n &_o practise_v of_o this_o servant_n though_o they_o will_v be_v think_v to_o be_v the_o only_a man_n in_o the_o world_n that_o fast_o and_o pray_v for_o upon_o the_o friday_n and_o other_o fast_a day_n there_o be_v no_o special_a time_n appoint_v as_o also_o not_o in_o lent_n appoint_v for_o prayer_n neither_o do_v many_o of_o they_o that_o profess_v fast_v come_v to_o the_o church_n at_o all_o to_o that_o end_n and_o if_o some_o of_o they_o do_v prey_n upon_o their_o saint_n eeven_a at_o night_n yet_o many_o do_v not_o which_o be_v bind_v to_o the_o fast_o and_o they_o that_o do_v all_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o day_n be_v without_o prayer_n and_o upon_o those_o day_n they_o go_v about_o their_o business_n as_o at_o all_o other_o time_n especial_o unto_o noon_n or_o unto_o eeven-song_n as_o they_o call_v it_o whereas_o the_o whole_a day_n of_o fast_o be_v altogether_o of_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o sabbath_n both_o for_o rest_v from_o work_n &_o also_o for_o sanctify_v of_o the_o time_n and_o therefore_o upon_o those_o day_n they_o have_v holy_a convocation_n and_o assembly_n for_o the_o word_n and_o prayer_n as_o in_o the_o book_n of_o leviticus_fw-la 23.27_o ●eu_n 1.6_o 31._o ●eu_n 23.27_o the_o yearly_a day_n of_o fast_n for_o the_o jew_n be_v call_v a_o sabbath_n of_o rest_n and_o beside_o it_o be_v further_o add_v therein_o you_o shall_v have_v a_o holy_a convocation_n and_o you_o shall_v do_v no_o work_n therefore_o when_o these_o catholic_n false_o so_o call_v do_v rest_n in_o the_o bare_a ceremony_n of_o fast_v and_o do_v not_o give_v themselves_o that_o day_n to_o prayer_n more_o than_o at_o other_o time_n for_o the_o most_o part_n they_o neglect_v that_o that_o be_v principal_a in_o it_o and_o whereunto_o it_o shall_v be_v refer_v and_o so_o we_o see_v what_o the_o lord_n require_v of_o we_o all_o at_o this_o present_a and_o to_o what_o end_n we_o abstain_v even_o that_o we_o have_v nothing_o to_o hinder_v we_o inward_o nor_o outward_o in_o our_o body_n to_o press_v we_o down_o to_o the_o earth_n our_o mind_n may_v be_v lift_v up_o in_o all_o fervency_n of_o prayer_n unto_o our_o heavenly_a father_n in_o the_o mediation_n of_o our_o lord_n and_o saviour_n so_o
