This is naturall and common, yet I may say Christian. But to fast in these occasions is not so common, as commendable, and profitable; for indeed in true sorrow there should be a neglect of all the offices of the body, a sequestration of all contentment, a forgetting and forsaking of ordinary food, a shutting vp and imprisoning of the body from all pleasures of life, thereby to pull downe the height and strength and pride of the soule, that the soule heare not, thinke not, mind not mirth, that the body see not, touch not, tast not meate, such should be our sorrowes when we see Corporall punishments for spirituall iudgements. Such was Davids diet, it was a real, hearty sorrow, not coūtenanced with a heavie looke, |
