The doctrine of fasting: where first we learn, that the outward exercise of fasting is not alway a certain mark of a godly man for the Pharisees which fasted came not to our Saviour Christ to learn of him (as the disciples of John did, although it were in weakness) but to discredit him: namely, to make the world believe that our Saviour Christ was a belly-god: as the Church of Rome doth charge the children of God now, to open a school to all liberty of the flesh, following the steps of their old fathers the Pharisees.
