moderate_a use_v of_o the_o creature_n of_o god_n with_o abstinence_n and_o this_o kind_n of_o fast_v all_o man_n must_v use_v continual_o and_o we_o must_v take_v heed_n of_o the_o abuse_n of_o god_n creature_n by_o surfeit_v and_o drunkenness_n rome_n 13._o 12._o the_o second_o kind_n of_o fast_v be_v a_o religious_a fast_o when_o we_o abstain_v from_o meat_n and_o drink_v for_o a_o certain_a time_n that_o we_o may_v be_v more_o fit_a for_o the_o exercise_n of_o repentance_n prayer_n and_o duty_n of_o religion_n and_o this_o kind_n of_o fast_v 26._o the_o jew_n use_v sometime_o for_o one_o

fast_v many_o day_n and_o that_o beyond_o the_o course_n of_o nature_n 28._o thus_o moses_n fast_v forty_o day_n and_o forty_o night_n in_o the_o mountain_n and_o so_o fast_v elias_n now_o there_o be_v no_o man_n able_a to_o fast_v so_o long_o by_o the_o course_n of_o nature_n indeed_o paul_n do_v fast_o three_o day_n after_o his_o conversion_n and_o those_o which_o be_v with_o paul_n in_o

that_o physician_n affirm_v that_o a_o man_n may_v live_v seventeen_o day_n without_o meat_n yet_o he_o can_v endure_v long_o as_o twenty_o or_o thirty_o day_n now_o our_o saviour_n christ_n fast_v forty_o day_n and_o forty_o night_n and_o for_o all_o this_o his_o complexion_n be_v not_o change_v nor_o the_o strength_n of_o his_o body_n weaken_v nay_o he_o be_v not_o hungry_a till_o the_o end_n though_o man_n can_v fast_v a_o short_a time_n but_o it_o will_v weaken_v they_o and_o make_v they_o hungry_a which_o do_v prove_v this_o fast_n of_o christ_n be_v miraculous_a now_o there_o be_v some_o reason_n why_o christ_n fast_v so_o long_o and_o no_o long_o long_o first_o that_o when_o he_o come_v to_o preach_v the_o gospel_n he_o may_v come_v with_o more_o authority_n and_o reverence_n as_o when_o moses_n have_v fast_v forty_o day_n and_o bring_v the_o two_o table_n the_o people_n receive_v he_o with_o great_a reverence_n 8_o so_o likewise_o elias_n when_o he_o be_v to_o restore_v religion_n he_o fast_v forty_o day_n and_o forty_o night_n second_o he_o fast_v so_o long_o that_o he_o may_v answer_v unto_o the_o time_n that_o moses_n and_o elias_n fast_v three_o he_o fast_v no_o long_o lest_o any_o man_n shall_v call_v into_o question_n his_o humanity_n whether_o he_o be_v true_a man_n yea_o or_o no_o if_o he_o have_v fast_v threescore_o or_o a_o hundred_o day_n from_o this_o miraculous_a fast_o of_o christ_n lent_n the_o papist_n fond_o gather_v their_o superstitious_a fast_n in_o lent_n be_v but_o a_o apish_a imitation_n of_o christ_n and_o in_o truth_n their_o fast_n be_v no_o fast_n but_o a_o plain_a mocke-fast_a see_v they_o eat_v as_o liberal_o and_o fare_v as_o dainty_o then_o as_o at_o any_o other_o time_n of_o the_o year_n whereas_o christ_n abstain_v from_o all_o use_n of_o meat_n and_o drink_v second_o christ_n be_v move_v thereunto_o by_o the_o instinct_n of_o god_n holy_a spirit_n they_o have_v no_o word_n to_o warrant_v they_o three_o christ_n do_v

second_o special_a point_n to_o be_v mark_v in_o the_o abode_n of_o our_o saviour_n christ_n in_o the_o wilderness_n be_v his_o converse_v with_o the_o wild_a beast_n mark_v 1._o 13._o some_o say_v

this_o end_n into_o the_o world_n but_o rather_o to_o take_v on_o he_o the_o shape_n of_o a_o servant_n but_o the_o true_a cause_n be_v this_o whereas_o there_o be_v two_o kind_n of_o wilderness_n one_o which_o be_v inhabit_v and_o where_o john_n baptist_n do_v baptize_v &_o preach_v and_o another_o not_o inhabit_v where_o live_v all_o kind_n of_o wild_a beast_n as_o lion_n tiger_n bear_n
