1The mother of Augustine, when she came out of Africa to Milan, and saw that the men there fasted not on the Sabaoth day, began to marvel at the unaccustomed manner. Wherefore Augustine which was not yet baptised, came to Ambrose, & asked in his mothers behalf what was best to be done? Do saith Ambrose that which I do.2 By which words Augustine thought that he should not fast, because Ambrose fasted not. But what he meant, he himself more manifestly expressed. I (saith he) when I come to Rome do fast, because the Sabaoth day is there fasted: but when I return to Milan, because here it is not fasted, I fast not. De consecratione dist. 3. chap.

For for because (saith he) the Apostles both upon the Friday, and also upon the Sabaoth day were in great mourning and sorrow, therefore we must fast. In the same dist. chap. Jeiunium: Melchiades decreed, that we must not fast on the Sunday, nor on the Thursday: and he giveth a reason, because the fasts of Christians ought to be on contrary days, to the fasts both of heretics and of Ethnics.
