and_o that_o be_v voluntary_a use_v of_o every_o man_n as_o he_o see_v occasion_n without_o compulsion_n such_o be_v their_o fast_n though_o not_o of_o like_a force_n that_o for_o their_o health_n abstain_v to_o digest_v evil_a surfeit_n and_o superfluous_a meat_n an_o other_o kind_n be_v of_o necessity_n not_o enjoin_v man_n by_o any_o law_n but_o by_o god_n as_o in_o time_n of_o dearth_n famine_n and_o scarcity_n of_o victual_n this_o fast_n as_o it_o be_v not_o voluntary_o use_v of_o man_n so_o it_o be_v not_o observe_v without_o great_a grudge_n and_o murmur_v against_o god_n which_o send_v it_o as_o a_o plague_n for_o our_o sin_n and_o this_o fast_o they_o that_o ly●_n in_o bond_n and_o prison_n lack_v necessary_a meat_n &_o drink_n do_v sustain_v and_o abide_v the_o third_o kind_n of_o fast_o be_v a_o general_a fast_a of_o all_o man_n and_o woman_n which_o the_o jew_n often_o use_v especial_o in_o the_o time_n of_o great_a plague_n war_n and_o such_o extremity_n abstain_v from_o meat_n and_o drink_v in_o ash_n and_o sackcloth_n all_o the_o day_n long_o thereby_o to_o humble_v themselves_o before_o god_n yet_o none_o of_o these_o fast_n be_v like_o that_o heavenlye_a fast_n of_o christ_n moses_n and_o elias_n for_o their_o fast_n be_v above_o these_o fast_n in_o all_o point_n wherefore_o touch_v the_o first_o part_n of_o fast_o which_o we_o observe_v all_o this_o lent_n it_o be_v most_o true_a that_o i_o say_v before_o it_o can_v not_o be_v ground_v on_o the_o old_a testament_n for_o notwithstanding_o that_o moses_n fast_v forty_o day_n twice_o and_o elias_n once_o yet_o because_o their_o fast_n be_v miraculous_a we_o neither_o ought_v nor_o can_v sincere_o follow_v they_o and_o beside_o we_o may_v by_o as_o good_a reason_n follow_v moses_n
