In the Council Braccarense it was agreed, that all the Apostles evens should be fasted, except the evens of these Apostles Phillip and Jacob and John the Evangelist, as we to fore heard out of the decree of Pope Innocent the third. For the feast of Phillip and Jacob, is between Easter and Whitsuntide, which is a time of joy and gladness, & therefore is there no fasting, according to this old rule, Inter Pen et Pa• non est Dirige, neque fasting day. And the feast of . John the Evangelist is at Christmas, when men must make good cheer, and be frolic and merry. Guilielmus. Durandus. Lib. Concil.
