Matthew 9:14 Douay-Rheims

Then came to him the disciples of John, saying: Why do we and the Pharisees fast often, but thy disciples do not fast?

Rabanus Maurus

c. A.D. 780–856 Medieval

The different comparisons all refer to the same thing, and yet are they different; the garment by which we are covered abroad signifies our good works, which we perform when we are abroad; the wine with which we are refreshed within is the fervor of faith and charity, which creates us anew within.
