oblige_v to_o be_v resident_a and_o where_o they_o may_v take_v a_o liberty_n to_o quit_v their_o monastery_n he_o answer_v that_o a_o good_a monk_n ought_v never_o to_o forsake_v his_o monastery_n

monastery_n by_o reason_n of_o the_o crime_n they_o have_v commit_v the_o question_n be_v whether_o they_o be_v to_o continue_v their_o episcopal_a habit_n there_o or_o to_o wear_v that_o of_o the_o monk_n he_o say_v he_o know_v little_a of_o the_o matter_n but_o that_o it_o be_v likely_a they_o ought_v not_o to_o take_v upon_o they_o the_o habit_n of_o the_o order_n because_o they_o have_v never_o before_o do_v it_o and_o because_o they_o be_v to_o continue_v in_o those_o monastery_n but_o for_o a_o time_n and_o that_o they_o be_v confine_v to_o these_o place_n only_o that_o they_o may_v have_v more_o leisure_n to_o repent_v the_o six_o question_n which_o he_o answer_v be_v why_o of_o all_o the_o kind_n of_o repentance_n that_o among_o monk_n have_v the_o privilege_n of_o be_v term_v a_o second_o baptism_n he_o say_v he_o believe_v it_o be_v by_o reason_n that_o they_o have_v absolute_o renounce_v the_o world_n and_o practise_v a_o spiritual_a life_n after_o a_o very_a
