From VII:2, "But before Baptism let the baptizer and the baptized fast, and any others who can; but thou shalt command the baptized to fast for one or two days before."

Listen pal, I know that Jesus and the Apostles taught Baptism is a wonderful gift from our Lord that saves, but I'm not gonna Baptize you unless you are hungry. Gotta be hungry my dude, we're not doing Baptize unless you're stahvin'.
