CHAPTER XIV
In what Manner the Brethren are to go through the World.
WHEN the Brothers travel through the world, let them carry nothing by the way, neither bag, nor purse, nor bread, nor money, nor a staff. And into whatever house they enter, lei them first say, ‘ Peace be to this house ;’ and abiding in the same house, let them eat and drink what things are there. Let them not resist evil, but if anyone strike them on one cheek, let them turn to him the other ; and if anyone take away their garment and tunic, let them not forbid him. Let them give to all who ask of them, and if anyone despoil them of what they have, let them not ask it of him again.
