vnto you oâ— all his goods he will place him Of the Prepositus of the Monastery CHAP. LXV IT often tymes happens that â— the ordaining of the preposiâ—â— great scandalls arise in Monasâ—ries whiles there are some puffed â— with the malignant spirit of pride wâ— esteeming themselues to be second Aâ—bots taking vppon them to tyraÌ„nâ— ouer others nourish scandalls aâ— make dissentions in the conuent aâ— especially in those places where by â—â— same Bishop or Abbots which ordaâ—â— â—â—e Abbot the prepositus is lâ—kewise â—rdained which how vnfitting a thinge â—is may easily be perceaued Because â—â—om the very begining of his ordinaâ—â—on there is occation giuen him of â—eing proud his thoughtes suggesting â—o him that he is exempt from the Abâ—ot Because he is ordained by them by â—hom the Abbot himselfe is ordained â—ence arise enuies chidings detracâ—â—ons emulations dissentions disorâ—ers whilest the Abbot and the Proâ—ositus are at variance it must needs â—e that both their soules runn a hazard â—â— this dissention those who are vnâ—er their charge whiles they adhere to â—arties and runn in to perdition The â—ault of which danger lyeth principalâ—â—y vpon them who were the authors of â—uch an ordination And therefore wee fore see that it â—s expedient for the conseruation of â—eace and charity that the whole â—ouernment of the Monastery depend â—f the Abbots will and if it can be â—onne let it be gouerned by Denes as before we haue ordained that whiâ—â— the charge is committed to many oâ— be not made proud But if either tâ— place requier it or the conuent shâ— reasonably with humility demaâ—â— it And the Abbot iudge it expedâ—eâ—â— whomsoeuer the Abbot shall chooâ—â— by the counselle of his brethreÌ„ feariâ—â— God let him ordaine for his Preposâ—tus And let the Prepositus doe thoâ—â— thinges with reuerence which shall â—â— inioyned him by his Abbot doing nâ—thing against the will or ordinance â— his Abbot because by how much â—â— is preferred before the rest by sâ— much it be houeth him carefully â—â— obserue the precepts of the Rulâ— Which Prepositus if he shall be fouâ—â— vitious or seduced by the haughtinâ—â— of pride or be founde a contemner â—â— the holy rule let him be admonisheâ— with words till foure times if he dâ— not amend let the correction of regular discipline be giuen him And â—â— with that he amende not let him bâ— deposed from the dignity of Preposituâ— ship let an other who is worthy be substituted in his place And if afterwards he be not quiet obedient in the conuent let him then be expelled the Monastery Yet let the Abbot consider that he is to giue an account to God of all his actions least perhaps his soule be inflamed with enuy or emulation Of the Porter of the Monastery CHAP. LXVI AT the gate of the Monastery let there be placed a wise old man who knowes how to receaue and giue an answere whose age may not suffer him to wander which Porter ought to haue his cell neer the gate that commers may alwayes find one ready to returne them an answer And by and by assone as any one shall knoâ—ke or Ã poore man shal crye let him answer Deo gratias and with all mildenes feare of God let him presently giue an answere with all charity And let the porter if he need for his comfort haue a Iunior brother with him The Monastery if it can conueniently ough so to be built that all necessaries to witt watter a mill a garden a Bakehouse and other seuerall artes maye be had and practiced in the Monastery that their be noe necessity for the monkes to wander abroad because it is in noe sort expedient for their soules And we will haue this Rule often read in the conuent least any of the Brethren excuse himselfe of ignorance Of Brethren that be sent a Iourney CHAP. LXVII LEt the Brethren that are to be sent a Iourney commend themselues to the prayers of all theyr brethren of the Abbot alwayes at the last prayer of the worke of God let commemoration of all the absent be made And let the Brethren retourninge from a Iourney in the very day in which they returne at all the canonicall houres when the worke of God is ended prostrate on the grounde in the oratorie and desier the prayers of all for their excesses least perchance either any sight or hearing of some euill thing or any idle speech haue stole vpon them in the way And let not any presume to tell others what thinges he hath seene or hard abroad with out the Monastery Because it is a great distraction to them And if any shall presume to doe it let him be liable to regular punishment And likwise he that shall presume to goe without the cloysters of the Monastery or to goe any whither or doe any thinge though neuer soe litle without the command of the Abbot If impossible thinges be enioyned to Ã Brother CHAP. LXVIII IF any hard or impossible thinges be inioyned any Brother let him receaue the command of the bidder with all mildnes obedieÌ„ce And if he shall see that the burden altogether exceedâ— the measure of his strength let him patiently fitly suggest the causes of the impossibility thereof to him is ouer him not shewing any pride or contradiction if after his suggestion the Prior or antient shall persist in commanding it let the Iunior know that it is expedient for him let him out of charity obey trustinge in the assistance of God That one presume not to defend an other in the Monastery CHAP. LXIX THere must speciall heed be taken that vpon no occasion one monke presume to defend or maintaine another in the Monastery though they be neuer soe neare of kine let none of them I say presume to doe this in any sorte because from thence exceeding great occasion of scandalle may arise And if any shall transgresse in this point let him be seuerely punished That noe one presume to beat or excommunicate an other CHAP. LXX THat occasion of all presumption may be auoyded in the Monastery we ordaine and constitute that it be not lawfull for any one to excommunicate or beat any of his brethren except those who haue power and autority from the Abbot And let those that offende bee reprehended before all that the rest may be afraide But ouer Infants vntil they be fifteen yeers of age let their bee strict discipline care had by all yet this also with discretion measure For he who shall in any sort presume to doe any thinge to such as are of riper years without the command of the Abbot or shall be vndiscreetly seuere euen to Infants let him be liable to regular discipline because it is written What thou wilt not haue donne to thy selfe doe not doe to an other That the Brethren be obedient to each other CHAP. LXXI OBedieÌ„ce is not only to be yeelded to the Abbot but also the brethâ—eÌ„ ar to obey one an other knowing that by this kinde of obedience they shall goe to God The command therefore of the Abbot or other superiours constituted by him being first obeyd before which we suffer not priuat commandes to be prefered in other thinges let the Iuniors obey their elders with all charity and diligence And if any be found contentious let him be rebuked And if a Brother be rebuked for any euen the least thinge by the Abbot or by any of his seniors or if he shall but perceaue the mind of his senior to be troobled or moued against him though but a litle let him without delaye prostrate at his feete and there lye till that commotion be appeased with Blessing and if any one shall contemne to doe it let him be eyther liable to corporall punishment or if he be contumatious let him be expelled the Monastery Of the good zeale which Monkes ought to haue CHAP. LXXII AS there is an â—il zeale of bitternes which seperateth from God leadeth to hell soe there is a good zeale which seperateth from vices leadeth to God and life euerlasting Let Monkes therefore exercise this zeale with most feruent loue that is that they preuent each other with honour that they paciently suffer each others infirmityes whether they be of body or of minde and that they striue to obey each other Let none follow that which he thinks profitable for himselfe but rather what others thinke fitting Let them shew all brotherly charity with a chast loue Let them feare God and loue their Abbot with a sincere and humble affection and prefer nothing at all before Christ who vouch safe to bringe vs all to life euerlasting Amen That all obseruance of Iustice is not sett downe in this Rule CHAP. LXXIII VVEe haue writt this Rule that by obseruinge it in Monasteries wee may shew ourselues to haue in some measure either honestie of manners or the beginning of a good conuersation But for those who hasten to the perfection of holy conuersation there at the preceps of the holy fathers he obseruance whereof bringeth Ã man to the height of perfection For what side of a leafe or what word of diuine authority of the old and new testament is not a most straight rule of mans life or what booke of the holy Catholike fathers doth not sound forth this that we may come by a direct course to our Creator Moreouer the Collations of the fathers their institutes liues alâ— the Rule of our holy father Basiâ— what els are they but examples of weâ— liuing obediente monkes and instruments of vertues But to vs slouthfull ill liuing and negligent people they are a shame and confusion whosoeueâ— therefore thou art who hastens tâ— the heauenly country obserue by the helpe of Christ this litle Rule writt foâ— beginners and then atlength by the protection of God thou shalt come to those higher perfections of doctrine vertues of which we haue before spoken To such as fullfill these things the kingdone of heauen shalle lye open Amen FINIS
