soberness_n &_o temperancy_n be_v kind_n of_o fast_v &_o prayer_n &_o shall_v not_o only_o be_v daily_o but_o also_o continual_a he_o speak_v therefore_o of_o such_o a_o fast_o as_o be_v a_o public_a

that_o lesson_n which_o i_o touch_v in_o the_o beginning_n namely_o that_o god_n require_v pure_a &_o chaste_a mind_n as_o well_o as_o clean_a body_n and_o also_o we_o have_v to_o note_v the_o

for_o the_o increase_n of_o our_o faith_n because_o faith_n be_v the_o mean_v by_o which_o we_o must_v resist_v &_o though_o his_o power_n be_v in_o the_o scripture_n count_v great_a yet_o this_o
