“Emaciation displeases not us; for it is not by weight that God bestows flesh, any more than He does "the Spirit by measure." More easily, it may be, through the "strait gate" of salvation will slenderer flesh enter; more speedily will lighter flesh rise; longer in the sepulchre will drier flesh retain its firmness.”
Tertullian, 3th c. — On Fasting
Original
34For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him.
