Sed quia tua fraternitas monasterii regulis erudita, seorsum fieri non debet a clericis suis, in ecclesia Anglorum, quae auctore Deo nuper adhuc ad fidem adducta est, hanc debet conversationem instituere, quae initio nascentis ecclesiae fuit patribus nostris; in quibus nullus eorum ex his quae possidebant, aliquid suum esse dicebat, sed erant eis omnia communia.
But for so much as you, brother, being brought up under regular discipline, must not by the order of your rule live apart from your clergy, in the Church of the English (which is as yet but newly brought by the motion of God to the faith), you must follow that manner of living which was used in the beginning at the birth of the Church among our fathers; among whom there was none that said anything to be his of the things that they possessed, but all their things were common.
