ieiuniis delectatur, edulibus adquiescit; illis adhaeret propter consuetudinem crucis, istis flectitur propter gratiam caritatis: summo utrumque moderamine, quia comprimit, quotiens prandere statuit, gulam, quotiens abstinere, iactantiam.
He rejoices in fasts, but permits himself to take part in feasts: he clings to the former owing to the custom of the cross, and is attracted by the latter owing to the grace of bonhomie; but in both he exercises the utmost moderation, for whenever he decides to feast he restrains his appetite, and when he decides to fast he avoids ostentation.
