1God himself also commanded a public fast. For he commanded that every year the feast Chephurim, that is the feast of expiations, should be celebrated the .10. day of September with a public fast. For the people committed many sins thorough out the whole year, neither did they diligently observe the ceremonies. Wherefore once in a year the tabernacle was purified, and a public fast was observed. These things in the old Testament, signified as it were by a certain shadow that the sins of men should be by Christ abolished, of whom when we take hold by a true and lively faith,2 we are loosed from sins, and thereof followeth the mortification of sins and carnal delights & pleasures. Neither is this to be passed over, that that one day of fast was a festival day. For it was not lawful in the public fast, either to work, or for a man to give him self to his own business, not that on festival days we ought utterly to be idle, but that in those days we should do good deeds, whereby we may rest in God, and we are commanded only to abstain from our own works. But to believe, to pray, to acknowledge sins, to bewail them with an earnest repentance, are the works of God, and therefore are not forbidden on festival days, but rather commanded.
1God himself also commaunded a publique fast. For he commaunded that euery yeare the feast Chephurim, that is the feast of expiations, should be celebrated the .10. day of September with a publique fast. For the people committed many sinnes thorough out the whole yeare, neither did they diligently obserue the ceremonyes. Wherfore once in a yeare the tabernacle was purified, and a publique fast was obserued. These thinges in the old Testament, signified as it wer by a certaine shadow that the sinnes of mē should be by Christ abolished, of whō when we take hold by a true and lyuely faith,2 we are losed from sinnes, and therof followeth the mortification of sinnes and carnall delightes & pleasures. Neither is this to be passed ouer, that that one daye of fast was a festiuall day. For it was not lawful in the publique fast, either to worke, or for a man to geue hym selfe to his own busines, not that on feastiual dayes we ought vtterly to be idle, but that in those dayes we should do good deedes, whereby we may rest in God, and we are commaunded onely to absteyne from our owne woorkes. But to beleue, to pray, to acknowledge sinnes, to bewaile them with an earnest repētāce, are the woorkes of God, and therfore are not forbidden on festiuall dayes, but rather commaunded.
