Answer: Refer Below

Step-by-step explanation:

This passage basically insinuates that the Doctor refrained from overindulgence, whether it be abstaining from gluttony, material wealth, etc. (On another note, I adore the Canterbury Tales! If you have any other questions on it, please reach out to me. Chaucer is such a superb author).
