1Pope Gregory the second made a decree, that christen men should fast also on the Thursdays in Lent, which was never used afore: and that there should be solemn massing also on those days in Churches.2 But Pope Melchiades ordained, that no man should fast the Thursday, no more than the Sunday. For saith he, as the sunday was solemn because of the resurrection of the Lord: so likewise ought thursday to be because on that day Christ instituted his supper, and ascended into heaven. In the year of our Lord. 729. Sigebertus in Chron. Guil. Durand. Pantal.
