14. Of good works particularly, of fasting.
1. OF Fasting I have spoken already, that the Papists place Fasting in the choice of meats.
2. That their fasts are hypocritical.
3. And superstitious.
4. That fasting even as it is observed by them (which indeed is the mere mockery of a true fast) is a work satisfactory for sin, and meritorious of eternal life, they impiously and blasphemously teach.
