We are to enjoy it because it is commanded 1850. f., because it is a sweet food 1848. f.; we are not to take it under one form 309.; we are to enjoy it often 315., 1180., 1854. f., 1926. f., often and gladly find ourselves doing it 298. f., which did not happen in the papacy 299. ff., where it was enjoyed out of obedience to the church 308. f.; we should not grow weary of A. 1922., we should enjoy it often, because it is a sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving 1851. f..
