Taken apparently from the Epistle to Blastus, de Schismate.
Compare a similar passage, lib. iv. chap. xxxiii. 7. | apostles
ordained, that “we should not judge any one in respect to meat or
drink, or in regard to a feast day, or the new moons, or the
sabbaths.”4877
Whence then these
contentions? whence these schisms? We keep the feast, but in the leaven
of malice and wickedness, cutting in pieces the Church of God; and we
preserve what belongs to its exterior, that we may cast away these better
things, faith and love. We have heard from the prophetic words that these
feasts and fasts are displeasing to the Lord.4878
