GERMANUS: Can the flesh, attracted by the unwonted luxuries of so long
a festival fail to produce something thorny from the incentives to sin
although they have been cut down? or can the soul weighed down by the
consumption of unaccustomed feasts fail to mitigate the rigour of its rule
over its servant the body, especially when in our case our mature age can
excite our subject members to a speedy revolt, if we venture to take our
usual food in larger quantities, or unaccustomed food more freely than
usual?
