For I tell you truly...
the God of the living is richer than all the rich of the earth.
And His abundant table is richer than the richest table of feasting of all the rich upon the earth.
Eat, therefore, all your life at the table of our Earthly Mother, and you will never see want. And when you eat at Her Table, eat all things even as [net zoals] they are found on the table of the Earthly Mother. Cook not, neither mix all things one with another, lest your bowels become as steaming bogs [dampende moerassen]. For I tell you truly, this is abominable in the eyes of the Lord.
And be not like the greedy servant...
who always ate up, at the table of his lord, the portions of others. And he devoured everything himself, and mixed all together in his gluttony. And seeing that, his lord was wroth [verbolgen] with him, and drove him from the table.
And when all had ended their meal, he mixed together all that remained upon the table, and called the greedy servant to him, and said: 'Take and eat all this with the swine, for your place is with them, and not at my table.'

Take heed [Pas op], therefore...
and defile not with all kinds of abominations the temple of your bodies.
Be content with two or three sorts of food, which you will find always upon the table of our Earthly Mother. And desire not to devour all things which you see around you. For I tell you truly, if you mix together all sorts of food in your body, then the peace of your body will cease, and endless war will rage in you. And it will be blotted out even as homes and kingdoms divided against themselves work their own destruction.
For your God is the God of peace, and does never help division. Arouse not, therefore, against you the wrath of God, lest he drive you from His Table, and lest you be compelled to go to the table of Satan, where the fire of sins, diseases, and death will corrupt your body.
And when you eat, never eat unto fulness.
Flee the temptations of Satan, and listen to the voice of God's angels.
For Satan and his power tempt you always to eat more and more.
But live by the spirit, and resist the desires of the body.
And your fasting is always pleasing in the eyes of the angels of God.
So give heed to how much you have eaten when your body is sated, and always eat less by a third.
Let the weight of your daily food be not less than a mina, but mark that it go not beyond two.
Then will the angels of God serve you always...
and you will never fall into the bondage of Satan...
and of his diseases.
-
Trouble not the work of the angels in your body by eating often.
For I tell you truly, he who eats more than twice in the day does in him the work of Satan.
And the angels of God leave his body, and soon Satan will take possession of it.
-
Eat only when the sun is highest in the heavens, and again when it is set.
And you will never see disease, for such finds favor in the eyes of the Lord.
And if you will that the angels of God rejoice in your body, and that Satan shun you afar, then sit but once in the day at the table of God. And then your days will be long upon the earth, for this is pleasing in the eyes of the Lord.
Eat always when the table of God is served before you, and eat always of that which you find upon the table of God. For I tell you truly, God knows well what your body needs, and when it needs.
From the coming of the month of Ijar [half april, half mei], eat barley [gerst].
From the month of Sivan [mei-juni], eat wheat, the most perfect among all seed-bearing herbs. And let your daily bread be made of wheat, that the Lord may take care of your bodies.
From Tammuz [juni-juli], eat the sour grape, that your body may diminish and Satan may depart from it.
In the month of Elul [aug.-sept.], gather the grape that the juice may serve you as drink.
In the month of Marchesvan [okt.-nov.], gather the sweet grape, dried and sweetened by the Angel of Sun, that your bodies may increase, for the Angels of the Lord dwell in them.
You should eat figs rich in juice in the months of Ab [juli-aug.] and Shebat [jan.-feb.], and what remain, let the Angel of Sun keep them for you. Eat them with the meat of almonds in all the months when the trees bear no fruits.
And the herbs which come after rain, these eat in the month of Thebet [dec.-jan.], that your blood may be cleansed of all your sins. And in the same month begin to eat also the milk of your beasts, because for this did the Lord give the herbs of the fields to all the beasts which render milk, that they might with their milk feed man.
For I tell you truly, happy are they that eat only at the table of God, and eschew all the abominations of Satan. Eat not unclean foods brought from far countries, but eat always that which your trees bear. For your God knows well what is needful for you, and where and when. And he gives to all peoples of all kingdoms for food that which is best for each.
Eat not as the heathen do, who stuff themselves in haste...
defiling their bodies with all manner of abominations.
