At ubi datam sibi mansionem intraverant, coeperunt apostolicam primitivae ecclesiae vitam imitari; orationibus videlicet assiduis, vigiliis, ac ieiuniis serviendo, verbum vitae quibus poterant praedicando, cuncta huius mundi velut aliena spernendo, ea tantum quae victui necessaria videbantur, ab eis quos docebant, accipiendo, secundum ea quae docebant ipsi per omnia vivendo, et paratum ad patiendum adversa quaeque, vel etiam ad moriendum pro ea quam praedicabant veritate, animum habendo.
But after they were now entered into their lodging, they began to follow the apostolical life of the primitive Church; that is to wit by submitting to continual prayer, watching and fasting, preaching the word of life to as many as they could, despising all the commodities of this world as things none of their own, taking of them whom they instructed only so much as might serve their necessities, living themselves in all things according to what they taught other, and having a spirit ready to suffer all adversities or even death in defence of that truth they preached.
