1Guilihelmus Durandus saith, that after the mind of S. Gregory de consecrat. dist. •. Lent is counted to begin on the first Sunday in Lent, and to end easter even: which time saith he, containeth xlii. days: of the which take away the six Sundays, & so there remain ⟨p. 168⟩only, 36. days. Therefore that the number of forty days, which Christ fasted, might be perfected, the aforesaid Pope Gregory added and put to Lent four days of the week that go before, that is to say, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saterdaye.
