Who soever doth use things present 1more straitly then the manners of them is with whom he liveth, is either untemperate or superstitious. And who soever useth them in such sort that it passeth yt bounds of good mens usage with whom he liveth, he either doth it to some special purpose, or else is he a wicked person. For in all such cases, not the use of things, but the carnal lust is in fault.

For it may come to pass, that a wise man may use a most precious and delicate meat, without any greedy lust or gluttony, & that an unwise person may have an unsatiable appetite to some gross food: and that some man after the manner of ⟨p. 374⟩Christ had liefer feed of fish, then fine broth, as did Esau Abraham's nephew, or on corn as cattle do. For we do not account the most part of brute beasts to be more continent than others, because they be nourished with vilder food. For in all such kind of things which we use, not so much by consideration of their nature, as of the cause of using them, or the manner of desiring them, we either allow or improve them.
