The Apostles enjoined that we should not judge any in meat and in drink and in respect of a feast or new moon or Sabbaths.1 Whence then these contests? whence the schisms? we feast, but in the leaven of malice and wickedness,2 rending the Church of God, and we keep the external that we may cast away the better, faith and love. These feasts then and fasts we heard from the prophetic words are displeasing to the Lord.
