that_o these_o description_n be_v in_o part_n so_o fit_v to_o their_o own_o fast_n as_o that_o they_o disagree_v with_o the_o fast_n both_o mention_v in_o scripture_n and_o practise_v in_o the_o primitive_a church_n as_o when_o they_o define_v a_o fast_a to_o be_v a_o abstinence_n from_o meat_n only_o for_o so_o it_o be_v use_v in_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n but_o it_o be_v not_o so_o in_o the_o ancient_a church_n of_o god_n for_o the_o practice_n of_o god_n people_n in_o the_o scripture_n and_o of_o the_o ancient_a father_n in_o the_o primitive_a church_n be_v as_o well_o to_o forbear_v drink_n as_o meat_n during_o the_o time_n of_o their_o abstinence_n as_o hereafter_o may_v appear_v more_o full_o 2._o that_o these_o description_n of_o a_o fast_a be_v in_o other_o thing_n so_o fit_v to_o the_o practice_n of_o antiquity_n that_o they_o do_v condemn_v the_o fast_n of_o the_o roman_a church_n as_o for_o example_n when_o they_o say_v that_o in_o a_o holy_a fast_a man_n must_v have_v but_o one_o refection_n and_o that_o must_v be_v a_o supper_n not_o a_o dinner_n &_o that_o both_o their_o abstinence_n and_o their_o choice_n of_o meat_n when_o they_o eat_v must_v be_v such_o as_o may_v tame_v the_o flesh_n and_o bridle_v the_o lust_n of_o it_o for_o all_o these_o thing_n be_v most_o true_a in_o true_a and_o sincere_a fast_n such_o as_o the_o scripture_n do_v commend_v and_o the_o ancient_a church_n do_v practice_v but_o in_o popish_a fast_n they_o find_v no_o place_n at_o all_o as_o shall_v be_v manifest_a god_n will_v in_o the_o due_a place_n and_o the_o reason_n of_o this_o medley_n or_o mixture_n of_o ancient_a and_o latter_a custom_n in_o their_o definition_n of_o a_o fast_a i_o take_v to_o be_v this_o because_o our_o new_a roman_a doctor_n do_v so_o describe_v fast_v as_o their_o elder_a schooledoctor_n thomas_n and_o hales_n have_v do_v before_o they_o and_o these_o man_n do_v so_o describe_v a_o fast_a as_o the_o roman_a church_n do_v then_o practice_n and_o prescribe_v it_o and_o their_o custom_n then_o be_v to_o drink_v at_o all_o time_n but_o not_o to_o eat_v save_v once_o in_o the_o day_n and_o not_o soon_o than_o three_o of_o the_o clock_n in_o the_o afternoon_n for_o as_o for_o the_o noontide_n dinner_n and_o the_o evening_n collation_n thing_n now_o allowable_a in_o a_o popish_a fast_o they_o be_v abuse_n of_o late_a

religious_a fast_o the_o next_o point_n to_o be_v consider_v be_v what_o indulgence_n or_o liberty_n they_o take_v and_o grant_v contrary_a to_o the_o practice_n of_o scripture_n custom_n of_o the_o ancient_a church_n and_o these_o rule_n of_o their_o own_o and_o this_o may_v be_v consider_v or_o observe_v in_o five_o particular_n 1._o in_o their_o choice_n of_o meat_n 2._o in_o the_o number_n
