S. GREG. Hom: 3. secund. parte Ezech.

If wee give more to the flesh then wee ought, wee nourish an Enemy; If we give not to her necessity what we ought, we destroy a Citizen: The flesh is to be satisfied so farre as suffices to our good; whosoever allowes so much to her as to make her proud, knowes not how to be satisfied: To be satisfied, is a great Art; left by the saciety of the flesh wee breake forth into the Iniquity of her Folly.
