1. Of the Practice of Piety in Fasting.

:744p. 287

There are divers kinds of fasting. First,¹ a constrained Fast, as when men either have not food to ear, as in the^a Famine of Samaria: or having food cannot eat it for heaviness or sickness, as it befell them who where in the^b Ship with St. Paul. This is rather Famine than Fasting.
