There is an other abuse,1 namely because some put holiness in fasting as though a worshipping of god consisted in it, where as in very deed fasting is only an exercise, which of it self hath no holiness. They are fools, which in fasting think that for that cause they have god bound unto them:2 wherefore we must not rashly give credit unto Jerome when he saith, that fasting is not a virtue, but the foundation of all virtues. For only Christ and faith in him is the foundation of all virtues. If he had said, that fasting is a help of certain virtues, he mought have been borne with all.
