¶ S. Augustine. ad Ianuar. Epist. 12.

WHereas the Friers bee so precise from eatyng of fleshe, that they thinke them vncleane, which doe cate, it is most manifestly agaynst fayth and sound doctrine. I am sure that in two preceptes of God all thynges bee con∣tained, and that the end of the precept is loue proceedyng from a pure hart, a good cōscience, and an vnfayned fayth. What soeuer therfore is ordeined ouer and besides custome, that it shall be ob∣serued as though it were a Sacramēt, I can not allow it: albeit because I would not bee an offence, to any holy or weake persons I dare not freely di∣salow many such thynges.

It foloweth: true Christian religion (which the mercy of God would haue free, onely with the celebratiō of a few and manifest Sacramentes) they op∣presse with seruile burdens: so that the state of the Iewes is more tollerable, then ours, who although they knew not the tyme of libertie, were but sub∣iect vnto th•• b•…•…ens of the law, and not to mans presumptions.

I▪ Distinct. 41. cap. Delitiae.

ALl kind of delicate meates, if they bee taken without any greedy de∣sire bee not hurtfull: and vilde meates greedely receaued doe hinder the fruite of abstinencye. For Dauid powred out water that was euilly lusted, and He∣lyas dyd eate flesh.
