Christ doeth not prescribe any certaine day, or dayes euery
wéeke to fast in, howsoeuer occasions doe fall out: neither doeth
he appoint men when they fast, to abstaine from one kinde of
meate, & to fill their bellie with another: your fathers you might
haue spared. The fasting dayes there set downe by Epiphanius
vnder the name of Apostolicall tradition, for verifying and ful∣filling
this place, your church obserueth not. As for Augustine, he
knewe of no such tradition that is of any daies appointed by
Christ, or his Apostles to fast in.
