1But omitting all those, as which nothing pertain unto our disputation, let ⟨p. 275⟩us come to our fast which we may call religious. And this fast is an abstinence,2 not only from meat and drink, but also from all other things which may delight and nourish the body, contrary to the accustomed manner, as much as strength will suffer, and it is done of a repentant mind and of a true faith, by prayers to desire the clemency of God, for miseries, either already oppressing us, or very nigh at hand. The form of this definition is abstinence,3 and that above the accustomed manner, which yet exceedeth not strengths of the body.

Therefore they which fast,4 ought to give themselves to prayers, alms, visitings of the sick, and to the holy supper.
