Excerpt from The Period of Early Reformation in Germany, Vol. 2And I immediately swallowed the egg and the chick at the same time, and afterwards it occurred to me that it was Friday, and I said to my companion, You have caused me to commit a mortal sin in eating meat on the sixth day.But he said that it was not a mortal sin, not even a venial sin, since a chick may not be considered other than an egg until it is born. And he remarked that it is just so in the case of cheese in which there are worms, and of those in cherries, and in peas, and young beans, but they are eaten on the sixth day, and even on the vigils of the Apostles. But inn proprietors are such rascals, they say that these are meat in order to make gain thereby.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
