CHAPTER VI.

Of the Recourse the Brethren should have to their Ministers, and that no Brother may be called Prior.

Let the brethren, in whatsoever place they may be, if they cannot observe our manner of life, have recourse as soon as possible to their Minister, making known to him their necessity. And the Minister must endeavour to provide for them, as he would wish to be provided for, if he were in the like case.  And let no one be called Prior, but let all in general be called Friars Minor, and be willing to wash each others’ feet.
