straight_o for_o many_o good_a reason_n which_o they_o allege_v for_o say_v they_o habit_n short_a and_o straight_o be_v more_o vile_a and_o better_a cheap_a than_o long_a and_o large_a because_o they_o have_v not_o so_o much_o stuff_n in_o they_o therefore_o since_o the_o glorious_a saint_n francis_n our_o founder_n will_v and_o ordain_v that_o we_o shall_v wear_v habit_n of_o vile_a and_o little_a price_n we_o can_v not_o better_o observe_v that_o holy_a rule_n wherein_o consist_v the_o estate_n of_o perfection_n than_o in_o make_v our_o habit_n as_o short_a and_o as_o straight_o as_o

shall_v have_v little_o bring_v into_o our_o covent_n then_o must_v we_o trot_v hither_o and_o thither_o at_o all_o time_n rain_v it_o or_o hale_v it_o be_v it_o hot_a cold_a dry_a or_o wet_a yea_o in_o lent_n &_o advent_n to_o preach_v but_o no_o kind_n of_o habit_n be_v more_o meet_a to_o overthwart_v the_o field_n than_o such_o as_o be_v short_a for_o the_o long_o be_v unfit_a contrary_a such_o as_o reason_v after_o say_v that_o the_o same_o opinion_n be_v strange_a and_o ridiculous_a because_o if_o friar_n shall_v wear_v short_a habit_n they_o will_v seem_v more_o like_a miller_n than_o friar_n and_o it_o be_v ordinary_o see_v that_o in_o those_o country_n where_o friar_n use_v short_a habit_n the_o order_n be_v much_o despise_v &_o mock_v of_o the_o world_n and_o man_n call_v they_o curtail_v friar_n and_o therefore_o long_a and_o large_a be_v most_o covenable_a and_o fit_a for_o they_o &_o that_o the_o bless_a saint_n francis_n right_o understand_v they_o shall_v wear_v long_a habit_n for_o in_o the_o say_a article_n he_o use_v the_o word_n tunike_a which_o signify_v a_o long_a robe_n or_o garment_n moreover_o long_a habit_n be_v more_o seemly_a for_o religious_a man_n and_o short_a garment_n for_o lay_v man_n and_o that_o a_o long_a garment_n make_v religious_a man_n the_o most_o reverence_a and_o honour_v in_o the_o world_n they_o say_v further_o that_o all_o other_o other_o sort_n of_o monk_n wear_v long_o and_o wide_a habit_n and_o it_o shall_v be_v a_o great_a novelty_n if_o the_o order_n of_o the_o glorious_a s._n francis_n shall_v take_v a_o short_a habit_n likewise_o say_v they_o when_o we_o go_v into_o the_o pulpit_n to_o preach_v or_o when_o we_o go_v to_o say_v mass_n o_o it_o be_v a_o goodly_a sight_n to_o have_v our_o garment_n like_o miller_n therefore_o they_o conclude_v that_o their_o habit_n shall_v be_v long_o and_o large_a but_o the_o first_o reasoner_n reply_v to_o this_o say_v to_o the_o first_o point_n that_o the_o good_a saint_n francis_n have_v teach_v they_o the_o way_n of_o humility_n and_o that_o therefore_o they_o ought_v not_o to_o seek_v to_o wear_v long_a garment_n to_o be_v therefore_o honour_v and_o reverence_v of_o the_o world_n for_o that_o taste_v of_o pride_n and_o not_o of_o his_o humility_n and_o that_o they_o which_o be_v mock_v and_o despise_v of_o the_o world_n be_v esteem_v of_o god_n because_o the_o wisdom_n of_o the_o world_n be_v folly_n before_o god_n and_o so_o contrary_a as_o for_o the_o second_o point_n they_o say_v that_o this_o word_n tunike_a in_o s._n benet_n his_o rule_n signify_v not_o a_o long_a robe_n but_o a_o little_a cloak_n or_o cassock_n and_o so_o be_v it_o find_v in_o friar_n ambrose_n calepin_n his_o dictionary_n who_o be_v of_o our_o order_n not_o a_o long_a robe_n but_o toga_fw-la and_o that_o therefore_o the_o rule_n make_v for_o they_o in_o
that_o point_n so_o be_v it_o best_o that_o friar_n wear_v short_a habit_n as_o little_a cloak_n and_o cassok_n or_o jerkin_n and_o as_o for_o their_o objection_n that_o other_o monk_n do_v wear_v long_o and_o wide_a garment_n so_o much_o the_o better_a say_v they_o and_o the_o rather_o shall_v we_o wear_v short_a and_o straight_o that_o there_o may_v be_v a_o distinction_n betwixt_o we_o and_o
