They are Cloathed all in Black The Nuns of Premontre were Instituted in the year 1121 in imitation of the Monks of the same Order under the Rule of St. Austin The Dominican Nuns were by one Dominicus Instituted about the year 1206 who Founded four different Orders of them as he had done of his Monks under the Rule of St. Austin The Nuns of the Redemption of Captives had their beginning from Mother Mary du Secours who died in the year 1288. The Nuns Servites or Servants of the Virgin Mary in imitation of the Fryars of the same Order were Instituted by Mother Juliana Falconieri who died in the year 1341. The Nuns Hermits of St. Austin were Instituted a little after the Fryars of the same Order The Nuns Hermits of St. Hierom do falsly boast their Origin from this holy Doctor Their Order was Confirmed and perhaps Founded by Pope Gregory the XI in the year 1374.

Julius the II. made them to make another jump to that of the Franciscans The Franciscan Nuns were instituted in the year 1212 by Francis Assisi and had one Clara a very superstitious and deluded creature for their Mother Some are very dissolute in their Manners and go under the name of Franciscan Nuns others are very strict in their Observances and from that Clara are called Clarisses They have some Sisters Servants who go a begging for them and are reputed of the third Order of their St. Francis The Nuns of the Third Order of S. Francis in the year 1221 were by him instituted and did consist indifferently of Unmarried and Married Women who had left their Husbands He gave them a milder Rule than the former being allowed to live single or two or three together in their own Houses They wear gray Cloathes with a black Vail are girded with a Cord and go bare-footed There is yet another Congregation of the Third Order confined in Cloisters and Founded in the year 1405.

They are a kind of Capucines and wear long gray Cloathes The Reformed Nuns of the Three Orders of St. Francis had their beginning from Sister Colette in the year 1410 she pretended to several Apparitions of God to her on that account and brought her Nuns to a very austere manner of Life as lying on the Straw going bare-footed wearing very course Cloth She died full of Superstition at Ghent in the year 1447. The Capucines are also a Reformation of Nuns of St. Francis made by Mother Mary Longe in the year 1538. They live of the Alms which are brought to their Convents are independent upon the Bishops and subject only to the Fathers Capucine They have nothing of their own but a Breviary a Wooden Cross and a Whip or Discipline Upon a new Habit they patch always a piece of an old one They touch no Mony but have a Temporal Father that receives keeps and spends it for them Except their Vail which is black their Habit is the same as that of the Fathers Capucine The Recolettes were founded in the year 648 by a Spanish Gentle-woman called Benedicta under the direction of the Bishop Fructuosus But they were afterwards by the Popes put

called thither from St. Vincent of Senlis Father Charles Faure with eleven of his Religious to bring thither the Reformation They established it there with so great success that it passed thence into several other Monasteries and this Congregation is at this time composed of above a hundred Monasteries under one Superior General who is Abbot of St. Genevieve There is a good number of fat Priories and Livings which depend on it and which serve as a back Door to those of these Monks who are weary of their Confinement being drawn from thence to officiate in them and where they are no longer obliged to the Monastical Duties 'T is also chiefly for one of these good Morsels or to be advanced in the preferments of their Order that the Regular Canons of the Abby of St. Genevieve of Paris who are continually exposed to the Eyes of their General play the Hypocrites so well At Paris they call them the Fathers Dormans or Sleeping Fathers because they continually keep their Eyes shut as if they were asleep Several suffer themselves to fall as they go to the Quire not minding where they set their Feet and this too great affectation without doubt diminisheth much of that esteem which one might have for their modesty Their Habit is a white Casock a Surplice a long Fur with a square Cap and in Winter time to keep themselves warmer they wear over their Rochet a great black Cowl with a Hood instead of the Fur and the square Bonnet Of the Congregation of the Regular Canons of St. Victor at Paris THE Abby of St. Victor had its rise from a little Chappel built without the Walls of Paris whither William of Champeaux Archdeacon of the Church of our Lady retired himself about the year 1110 with some of his Disciples Louis le Gros who esteemed much his Virtue and Merit seeing him resolved to embrace the Order of the Regular Canons caused them whom he had lately founded at Puiseaux near Pluviers in Gatinois to come join themselves to William of Champeaux and his Companions under the same Rule and Habit. There are to be seen in France about thirty four Monasteries which form the body of the Congregation of which the Abby of St. Victor is the Chief All the difference that there is between the Regular Canons of St. Genevieve and these is that the former carry their Furs on their Arms and these on their Shoulders Of the Congregation of St. Rufe in Dauphine THE Congregation of St. Rufe was also formerly but a little Chappel without the City of Avignon where four Canons of the Cathedral Church of the same City retired themselves there to live in the exercises of a Regular Life and this House of St. Rufe became afterwards the Chief of a powerful Congregation composed of a great number of Monasteries But this Abby having been ruined the Religious transferred themselves to a place near Valence and afterwards were placed in the Town it self where they are to this day They wear a white Robe and on the top of it a linnen Scarf for a sign of their Profession The Congregation of our Saviour in Lorrain IT had for its Institutor Father Fourrier of Matincourt and was confirmed by Urban VIII in the year 1628. These Canons wear a linnen Scarf over a black Robe and have many Monasteries in Lorrain Of the Congregation of the Regular Canons of Windesem in the Low Countries THE Regular Canons of the Chapter of Windesem who having spread themselves in Flanders Holland and Low Germany drew their Original from a Society of Clerks gathered together by one Gerard Groot at Deventer in the Diocese of Utrecht towards the end of the 14th Age. They applied themselves to and got their livelihood by transcribing Books This Gerard Groot on his Death-bed ordered his Disciples to render their Society more fixt that they should put themselves under a Religious Rule and make solemn Vows After several consultations upon this affair they resolved at last to take the Rule of the Regular Canons rather than that of any other Order as being more agreeable to that Clerical-state which they professed They began then to build a Monastery near the Town of Zwol in a place called Vindeseut with the consent of William Duc of Gueldres and of the Bishop of Utrecht in the year 1386. They sent in the mean while six of their Body into a House of Regular Canons to be informed of their Rules and Practices and in the year following they all took the Religious Habit of that Order Their Fame being spread in all the Neighbouring Countries many new Monasteries were founded for them and several old ones desired to be Reformed by them so that in a very short time they had 83 Convents the greatest part whereof have been since abolished by the true Reformation of Religion which by Gods blessing hapned in Holland and in Germany They founded also in the Low Countries about fourteen Monasteries of Nuns and were the Directors of them This Congregation hath yet several famous Houses They wear a black Camail over their Rochet and in the Summer at Church the Surplice and the Fur on their Shoulders as those of St. Victor at Paris Of the Congregation of Regular Canons of of St. Croix of Conimbria in Portugal THE Monastery of the Holy Cross near Conimbria in Portugal Chief of this Congregation was founded in a place where the Royal Bathes were by one Tellon Archdeacon and Canon in the Cathedral Church of the same Town He sent two of his Disciples to France there to be instructed in the Rules and Practices of the Regular Canons and he afterwards by their means established the same observance in his Monastery of the Holy Cross and in all the others who joined with this to the number of nineteen These Regular Canons were founded in the year 1527 and reduced to a strict Observance of the Cloister and Silence They wear a Surplice without Sleeves which they turn up upon their hands and a Fur upon their Shoulders Of other Houses of Regular Canons THERE are yet other Congregations and Houses of Regular Canons as that of St. Mark at Mantua which was founded in the year 1205. It hath but two Monasteries one at Mantua and the other at Nesco near Padua The Congregation of the Valley of Scholars which was founded by four Doctors and several of their Scholars in a Valley incompassed with Woods in the Diocese of Langres It stretched is self very much into France and the Low Countries and in Germany but in France it hath been incorporated into that of St. Genevieve We see yet several Abbies of Regular Canons who have divers Priories depending upon them and wear different Habits as those of St. Maurice of Angoun in Suitzerland They wear a read Camail over their Rochets Those of Chausterneubourg in Austria who wear Furr'd Caps on their Heads Those of Mont St. Eligius near Arras who are drest in a
