Again,1 Al Fasting is abolished. So the Scribes and Pharisees said unto Christ,2 Why do thy Disciples, break the traditions of the Elders? 3They eat and drink, 4they do not fast. Would God ⟨p. 33⟩we were all more careful than we are, of keeping the true fast, the fasting which the Lord hath chosen (sayeth the Prophet) is it that a man should afflict his soul for a day, and to bow down his head as a bull rush, and to lye down in sackcloth and ashes? Wilt thou call this Fasting, or an acceptable day to the Lord? Is not this the Fasting that I have chosen, to loose the bands of wickedness, to take off the heavy burdens, to let the oppressed go free, that ye break every yoke? Is it not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and that thou bring the pore that wandereth unto thine house? When thou seest the naked that thou cover him, & hide not thy self from thine own flesh?
