Hier. ī 4. ca. ad Gal. and likewise of S. Aug. ad Janu. 118. epi. The sunday / and the hours the rofapointid for a decent order / to preach the word of god / use the sacraments / to have commune prayers / to provide for the pore / is to be observed: that ⟨p.

Cor. 14. as for the other laws that they have made / concerning fasting / and satisfaction for sin / and would defend them under the pretence / and title of mortification of the flesh: that gloss serveth not for there purpose. But there / hypocrisy layeth wait / to destroy the true doctrine of Christ / if it be not avoided. They teach nether what mortification is / nether how the flesh may be best kept under / to obey the spirit. Mortification signifieth / ether patience / which god requireth in the time of adversity: other temperance commanded of God / to refrain the lusts / and concupiscence that fighteth against the spirit. it signifieth not such voluntary fasts / celebrating of masses / or any such other doings of superstitious ceremonies as man chooseth to do / without the commandment of God. of patience under the cross / and of adversity saint Paul speaketh 2. Cor. 4. we / always saith he / bare about with us the mortification of the lord Jesus in the body / to that end / that the lief of Jesus / may be manifested in the body. And in the same place / always we that believing for the love of Jesus / are delivered to death / that the lief of Jesus / might appear in our mortal flesh. this calleth S. P. Mortification / that is like unto the the afflictions of Christ / and speaketh of the same / Roma. 12. and David Psalm. 50. Mich. 7. ⟨p. CXVII⟩of temperance / and sobriety in meat / drink / and all other things / it is written Luc. 22. be ware your hearts be not oppressed with gluttony / and drunkenness.
