Telesphorus (as other affirm: which I think to be more true) appointed first of all, Lent to be fasted before Easter. And he moreover added an other week to it, which is commonly called Quinquagesima. This week he commanded the priests to fast more than the laity: because they, which ought to be holier than the rest, should in this ordinary fast show more abstinence than other. In the year of our Lord. 139. Lib. Concil. Euseb. Sabell. Polid. D. Barnes.
