How to Use the Flesh

How TO USE THE FLESH.—If we give more to the flesh than we ought, we nourish an enemy; if we give not to her necessity what we ought, we destroy a citizen; the flesh is to be satisfied so far as suffices to our good; whosoever alloweth so much to her as to make her proud, knoweth not how to be satisfied. To be satisfied is a great art; lest, by the satiety of the flesh, we break forth into the iniquity of her folly.—S. Greg., Hom. iii, secund, Parte Ezech.
