In this respect, we were obliged to abstain from eating or drink- ing it, as it is our duty to preserve our life, which we should otherwise destroy, as many Abyssinians do by severe fasting. Thirdly, I explained to him the differ- ence by which we are distinguished from the Mahome- dans, namely, not by fasting, or coffee di-inking, or AND OTHER SUBJECTS. 191 di'ess, or bands... of silk ; but by oiu* doctrines and a holy Christian life.
