CHAPTER V.
Of the Manner of Working.
The Brothers to whom God has given the grace of working shall labour faithfully and devoutly in such a manner, that avoiding idleness, which is an enemy of the soul, they do not extinguish the spirit of devotion and holy prayer, to which all temporal things ought to be subservient In payment for their labour they may receive things necessary for the support of the body, both for themselves and their Brethren, but not money ; and this they should do humbly, as becomes the servants of God, and the followers of most holy Poverty.
