There is an other fast which is above mans strength, and is sometimes given of god marvellously unto some of the saints,1 to commend their doctrine. Moses in the mountain fasted .40. days, for God would by a notable example show, that that law which he set forth, came from himself, and was not invented of men. Nether went Moses therefore unto the mountain to fast, but to receive the law of GOD, and to talk with him. Elijah also received bread and water of the Angel, and in the strength of that meat walked .40. days, even unto the mount of god Horeb, that he by this miracle should be declared to be the true revenger of the law. By this kind of fasting our Saviour commended the preaching of the Gospel, that it should not seem to be a thing vulgar, but should be proved a thing begun by God. But these were miracles, neither pertain they any thing unto us, but only that we should have them in admiration, and by such examples be stirred up with reverence to receive the word of God.
