Colossians 2:22 Douay-Rheims

Which all are unto destruction by the very use, according to the precepts and doctrines of men.

Tertullian

c. A.D. 150–220 Patristic

For Moses had evidently received the law from God. When, therefore, he speaks of their "following the commandments and doctrines of men," he refers to the conduct of those persons who "held not the Head," even Him in whom all things are gathered together; for they are all recalled to Christ, and concentrated in Him as their initiating principle -even the meats and drinks which were indifferent in their nature.
