In that our Saviour Christ teacheth,1 that it must not be, when he, who is as it were the bridegroom, is with his disciples, to furnish them with all manner of benefits they had need of; we are taught, that the time is, when any great calamity is hanging over us, or fallen upon us; whereby the gracious presence of Christ is taken from us; or when there is any weighty matter to take in hand.

That the fast in Popery is foolish, which is holden at set times, whether the time be prosperous, or not prosperous; whether the affairs be common and ordinary: or whether they be special & extraordinary of all which it may appear, how small cause the Papists have to boast of their fasting, which in all the warp thereof have not a thread which is not full of leprosy.
