on "Wednesday to matins on Thursday. 

 They are given exemption again from 

 matins on Thursday till matins on 

 Friday. They must keep themselves 

 5 again from intercourse from matins on 

 Friday till matins on Monday, that is, 

 they are to live separately for three 

 days and three nights. Abstinence from 

 meals is imposed on them on Friday and 

 the following night, and on Saturday 

 and Saturday night. They are given 

 exemption, for meals only, on Sunday 

 and Sunday night. 



§ 51. Now he that eats the flesh of 

 a wild deer or wild swine and who 



10 eats no other flesh at Easter, must not 

 eat any other flesh until the Easter 

 following, unless constrained by some 

 necessity (for he does not reckon this 

 as flesh). Now if he does not eat flesh 



15 and bacon at Easter, even though hunger 

 or heathen constrain him to eat meat, 

 and he has notliing else that he may 

 eat, he thinks it better and safer for 

 him to face death for the sake of ful- 



20 filling his vow than to relax in regard 

 to meat ; and it is reckoned to him as 

 martyrdom if he chance to die for it, to 

 fulfil what he had promised to his con- 

 fessor. For there ought to be no relaxa- 



25 tion as to flesh even at Easter, till the 

 confessor grant it ; and he thinks it right 

 that it should be from the hand of his 

 confessor that he should receive the 

 sacrament. 



§ 52. In the case of penance laid on 

 sickly persons, this is what he thinks 

 right, as to the continual preparing 



30 for meals : alternate reviving and morti- 

 fying is practised on them, lest the 

 pei-petual confinement should cause their 

 death ; and this is done, if it can be
