On I Peter 4:3 --
"[The Lord's Day is] a Feasting day for the soul, but if the body be overmuch pampered, the soul shall have the worse: we are therefore sparingly to eat that day, especially till night, as being to go about spiritual duties, whereunto we are unfit, in the performance whereof, through excess of food, we become sleepy, and drowsie, which is most unseemly and wicked in God’s service; therefore as when we serve God extraordinarily, we fast altogether; so when ordinarily, we must be very temperate and sparing."
-- John Rogers 536.
