That the Monks Presume Not to Defend One Another
Apr. 27—Aug. 27—Dec. 27
Care must be taken that no monk presume on any ground to defend another
monk in the monastery, or as it were to take him under his protection,
even though they be united by some tie of blood-relationship. Let not
the monks dare to do this in any way whatsoever, because it may give
rise to most serious scandals. But if anyone breaks this rule, let him
be severely punished.
