I▪ Distinct. 41. cap. Delitiae.
All kind of delicate meats, if they be taken without any greedy desire be not hurtful: and vile meats greedily received do hinder the fruit of abstinence. For David poured out water that was evilly lusted, and Elijah did eat flesh.

¶ In the same place. cap. Quod dicit.
AS concerning that the Lord saith in the Evangelist, wisdom is justified of her children, he declareth, that the sons of wisdom, understand, that righteousness consisteth neither in abstaining, nor in eating, but in the patient suffering of scarcity, and in temperance, not to corrupt them selves by toe much abundance, and in convenient taking, or not taking of those things, whereof the greedy lust is reprehended, and not the simple use. For it forceth not at all what nourishments thou receivest, to the necessary sustenance of thy body, so that it be agreeable to those kind of nourishments, by the which thou mayst live.
