For in the Son all the fullness was pleased to dwell,
and through Him to reconcile all things for Him,
making peace by the blood of His cross. - Colossians 1:19-20

to use, or to abstain from the use of, these creatures,
according as they bring him nearer
to that end, or tend to separate him from it."
