3 I| weeks, in betokening of four divers comings. The first
4 I| first week of Advent hath four verses to reckon. Gloria
5 I| one, to the report of the four weeks, and how it be that
6 I| how it be that there be four comings of our Lord, yet
7 I| glory. S. Gregory putteth four causes of the profit of

9 I| him to deceive all men by four manners. The first manner
10 I| shall send this fire for four causes. First for the renewing
11 I| day of judgment shall be four things, two on the party
12 I| circumcision of our Lord there be four things that make and show
13 I| priest and a king. These four persons sometime were wont
14 I| we have left. The other four days be orison, effusion
15 I| of our Lord is adorned of four miracles, and after them
16 I| and after them it hath four names. On this day the kings
17 I| unto Pasque. Therefore the four apparitions were set on
18 I| there? S. Remigius assigneth four reasons. The first reason
19 I| for that he is formed of four qualities to the body. And
20 I| some say. And therefore be four days put to, for accomplishing
21 I| protectorem. Or she demandeth four things, that it is to wit
22 I| days of the year. But the four days tofore be put to, because
23 I| The world is divided into four parts, and the year into
24 I| parts, and the year into four times, and the man of four
25 I| four times, and the man of four elements and four complexions
26 I| man of four elements and four complexions is composed.

33 I| body be composed of the four elements, and by the will
34 I| according that the same flesh by four times ten we put to penance
35 I| Easter. Hereof be assigned four reasons in the sum of the
36 I| them. And this fast is kept four times in the year, and for
37 I| second reason why we fast four times; for these fastings
38 I| Jews. For the Jews fasted four times in the year, that
39 I| because the man is composed of four elements touching the body,
40 I| fasting may attemper in us four times in the year, at each
41 I| the end that the number of four may be reported to the body,
42 I| God of that which in these four seasons we have offended

64 I| the four crosses on the four corners of the altar. And
65 I| the altar. And of these four corners is said in Genesis
66 I| to the south. Or by the four crosses that be made in
67 I| crosses that be made in the four corners be signified that
68 I| Christ saved by the cross the four parts of the world, or for
69 I| cross of Jesu Christ in four manners, that is, in the
70 I| this holy water is made of four things, that is, of water,
71 I| is made of square stones four cornered, that is to say
