+ This fast was the one petitioned for by the majority of the Parliament that 
met in the winter of 1623-4. Hitherto, in James I’s. reign, a small minority 
had always petitioned for a General Fast to inaugurate the opening of Parlia-

appointed a weekly fast, viz.: on Fridays. But now the majority, being 
Puritan, pressed the point, rd the King and Bishops thought it best to give 
way, though there was no national calamity.
