Answ. They had special and extraordinary occasions both to fast in those months, and also to continue every year to fast in them so long as they did fast. The occasions were these: In thea tenth month Jerusalem began to be besieged, which was the first sign of that horrible vengeance, that God by his Prophets had oft threatened to take of the rebellious Jews. In theb fourth month, the City was broken up, whereby God openly showed that now he had forsaken that City. In thec fifth month were not only the Kings house and all the houses of Jerusalem, but also the house of God, that famous Temple which Solomon built, burnt down to the ground, whereby the Lord declared that now his presence, and protection⟨p. 456⟩ was clean taken away from them. In thed seventh month Gedaliah was slain.
