Moreover, beside his vows mentioned before, he made other, as that in Lent he never ate more than once in the day, tasting then nothing else but bread and very thin milk, and that with a certain measure: to wit, milk which the day before he was wont to set fresh in a vial and when night was past, skimming away the cream, he would drink what was left along with a small portion of bread, as we have said.
