church_n in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o apostle_n 13.3_o in_o the_o 13._o chapter_n of_o the_o act_n the_o prophet_n and_o teacher_n which_o be_v in_o the_o church_n of_o antioch_n before_o they_o

with_o fast_v they_o commend_v they_o to_o the_o lord_n in_o who_o they_o believe_v and_o to_o conclude_v the_o apostle_n paul_n testify_v of_o himself_o 2._o cor._n 11_o 11.27_o that_o as_o he_o be_v

that_o the_o christian_a exercise_n of_o fast_v be_v not_o a_o will-worship_n nor_o a_o action_n which_o be_v mere_o arbitrary_a or_o leave_v to_o our_o free_a choice_n whether_o we_o will_v use_v

some_o measure_n as_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v do_v but_o we_o be_v not_o bind_v to_o pray_v always_o and_o to_o do_v nothing_o else_o and_o although_o we_o be_v always_o in_o this_o life_n bind_v to_o

as_o occasion_n be_v offer_v but_o we_o be_v not_o to_o fast_v ordinary_o and_o every_o day_n but_o upon_o special_a and_o extraordinary_a occasion_n and_o that_o we_o be_v not_o bind_v to_o join_v fast_v with_o the_o ordinary_a exercise_n of_o prayer_n 7.3.5_o it_o be_v manifest_a by_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o apostle_n 1._o cor_n 7_o where_o he_o will_v have_v the_o husband_n and_o the_o
