For Meat commendeth us not to God, (as saith S. Paul to the Corinthians; and every Creature of God is good, if received with Thanksgiving, (saith He to Timothy: ) And though the preference of Fish before the Meat of the Shambles, is so far innocent, and lawfull, as 'tis left to our Christian Liberty; yea so far necessary, and binding, as 'tis commanded by that Authority which God hath commanded us to obey; yet, abstracted from the Precept of such Authority, it may be Wantonness in one, and in another, Superstition.
