in the Papall Church; and thereupon inueigheth against Protestants, calling them heretikes, because they doe Ecclesiae ieiunia aspernari, despise the fasts of the Church: and saith whereas we pretend to haue reformed the Church, non Ecclesiae, sed sectae Epicureae reformatores, &c. we are not reformers of the Church, but of the Epicures sect: Pintus, p. 18.
Contra. 1. Protestants onely reiect their superstitious and hypocriticall fasts: true fa∣sting (which is an abstinence from all meates and drinkes for a time, to make their prayers more feruent) they practise more then Papists, who knowe not what such fasting meaneth. 2. Who are the Epicures and bellie gods of this age, their fat Monkes and Abbey-lub∣bers are wittnesses: who while they forbeare eating of flesh, do feede vpon other delicate meates and daint••e confections, with drinking of wine, which doe more pamper the flesh and enflame the lust. 3. This example of Daniel doth nothing at all fit their turne: 1. Da∣niel kept this abstinence 3. yeares together. 2. he abstained as well from eating of fish as flesh. 3. neither did he drinke any wine all this time of abstinence: let them goe now and imitate Daniels fast themselues; which they would take to be a verie hard penance.
