Of Quinquegesima. cap. 29.

QVinquegesima is called as it were .5 times 10, & betokeneth forgiuenesse, For the 50. yéere was called Annus iu∣bileus & was most solēpne & holy among the Hebrews. For in y^t yere men y^t were banished, shuld come home again. & debts shuld be forgiuē, & losse shuld be restored: And Quinquegesima beginneth the third sunday after Septuagesima: & endeth in the sunday of y^t resurrection For it beto∣keneth y^e state of grace, to y^t which we be restored by y^e benefit of penance: and ther∣fore fasting of holy church beginneth in y^e middle of the wéeke of septuagesima, & then oft we rehearse y^t .51. Psalme in the seruice of y^t day. For it is a Psalm of pe∣nance, & is said welnigh in al y^t houres, & y^e Psalm is called Miserere m••i deus, the hallowing of the fiftie yere, that is called Annusiubileus, & began, as Hebrues tel, before the law, y^t is to wit, before Abra∣hams time: y^t deliuered his nephew Loth, y^t was then .50. yere olde: & therfore after that time the fifty yéere was held among Abrahams children: and that was af∣terward allowed in time of the lawe, be∣cause

of mistike meaning,* 1.1 as it is sayde in Numeris.
