[Though corporall foode haue that quality]
Though corporall foode haue that quality,The greater abstinence, the greater appetite,
And the more taste, the more tediosity,
Yea nowe we lothe, where we late dyd delite,
From spirituall foode which differeth quite,
The more we absteyne, the lesse we desyre,
The goodnesse of the taste no man can endite,
VVhich had augmented celestiall feruent fyre.
