Thirdly, Was not my appetite too hard for me? Brethren, I doubt many of us are little skilled in the duty of temperance. It may be many of us do think, we may eat as long as it is pleasing to our appetites. This is a great, though I fear a common evil: that as Jude says they feast without fear. Here, observe this general rule, never to sit down to your tables but to use some Self-denial. And for an exact rule; we cannot give an exact rule to every ⟨p. 25⟩one; but this, for healthy bodies to eat so at one meal, that we may be hungry at the next I am verily afraid that this sin of gluttony is a very common sin: Therefore Christian set a special watch upon thy appetite.

There are two sorts of intemperance that we should beware of; either with respect to the Quantity, or to the Quality of what we eat. We offend in the first when we eat more than we can digest. In the other, when a man gives himself to eat that which the Physician tells him is not fit for him. And what a shame is this that neither reason nor grace, should keep a person from breaking out into intemperance.
