Yea & on the Sundays also in the Lent, wherein they fasted not, they would that there should be retained a choice of meates. And de Consec. in the dist. 4.1 chap. Denique sacerdotes it is ordained, that the Priests should begin their fast from Quinquagesima. And in the same place .5. distinct: chap. Quadragesima. Gregorius hath invented a reason whereby to prove that Lent is to be fasted. We must saith he, give the tenth part of the whole year unto God. And the .x. part of the year consisteth of .40. days. Wherefore we must fast so many days. A goodly ⟨p. 279⟩reason I promise you. Why doth this Gregory forget that the Levitical priesthood and ceremonies thereof have now ceased? Wherefore it is not lawful to bind christian men to tenths and Jewish ceremonies. And if for that cause the time of Lent be to be consecrated to a fast, because it is the tenth part of the whole year, why did not the Jews in the old time so fast? Why did not the Prophets reprove them, because they deceived god of such a kind of tenth?
Yea & on the Sondayes also in the Lent, wherin they fasted not, they would that there should be retayned a choise of meates. And de Consec. in the dist. 4.1 chap. Denique sacerdotes it is ordeyned, that ye Priestes should begyn theyr fast from Quinquagesima. And in the same place .5. distinct: chap. Quadragesima. Gregorius hath inuented a reason wherby to proue that Lent is to be fasted. We must sayth he, geue ye tenth part of the whole yeare vnto God. And the .x. part of ye yeare cōsisteth of .40. dayes. Wherfore we must fast so many dayes. A goodly ⟨p. 279⟩reason I promise you. Why doth thys Gregory forget that the Leuiticall priesthoode and ceremonies thereof haue now ceased? Wherfore it is not lawfull to bind christian men to tenthes and Iewishe ceremonies. And if for that cause the time of Lent be to be cōsecrated to a fast, bicause it is the tenth part of the whole yeare, why did not the Iewes in ye old time so fast? Why did not the Prophets reproue them, bicause they deceaued god of such a kind of tenth?
