Note, That if any of these Feast-Days fall upon a _Monday_, then
the Vigil or Fast-Day shall be kept upon the _Saturday_, and not
upon the _Sunday_ next before it.
This Table includes several days not anciently observed as
Fast-days, and refers to private observance and not to public
service.
When a Saint's Day which is preceded by a Vigil falls on a Monday,
though the fast of the Vigil is to be kept on the Saturday, yet
the Collect for the Saint's Day is not to be said on the Saturday
evening, but on the evening of Sunday, in accordance with Rubric
(82).

III. The Three Rogation-Days, being _Monday_, _Tuesday_, and
_Wednesday_, before _Holy Thursday_, or the _Ascension_ of
our Lord.
IV. All the _Fridays_ in the Year, except Christmas-Day.
The word 'or' implies a distinction in the mode of observing these
days: Nos. I. and II. in the 'Table,' viz., the Forty Days of Lent
and the Ember-days, are days of _Fasting:_ Nos. III. and IV., viz.,
the three Rogation-days and Fridays, except Christmas-Day, are
days of _Abstinence_.
