PDE translation
After avarice comes gluttony, which is expressed against the commandment of God. Gluttony is the immeasurable desire to eat or to drink or else to do anything to the immeasurable appetite and chaotic desire to eat or to drink. This sin corrupts all the world as it is shown in the sin of Adam and Eve.
He that is accustomed to this sin of gluttony, he may no withstand any sin. He must be in the service of all vices for it is the devil’s hoard where he hides himself and rests. This sin has many types of diverse species of gluttony. The first is drunkenness, that is the horrible grave of man’s reason; and therefore, when a man is drunk he has lost his reason and this is a deadly sin. But certainly, when a man is not used to strong drink and perhaps he does not know the strength of the drink, or has feebleness in his head, or has worked too much so that he drinks more although he is suddenly caught with drink, it is no deadly sin but venial.
The second specie of gluttony is that the spirit of a man waxes troubled, for drunkenness bereaves him of the discretion of his wit. The third specie of gluttony is when a man devours his food and has no rightful manner of eating. The fourth specie of gluttony is when, through the great abundance of his food, the moistures of his body are distempered. The fifth is forgetfulness from too much drinking, for which sometimes a man forgets before the morning what he did at evening or the night before…
These are the five fingers on the devil’s hand by which he draws people to sin.
