[12] The monks should be recalled to the convent from the manors, and the manors should be placed in the keeping of others who are faithful, willing, and able to attend to cultivation. [13] In accordance with an old agreement, the abbot should give, or cause to be given, £4 10s. to the kitchen for the monks at Hilbre Island and Saighton. (14) The prior, and future priors, should remain in the convent according to the rule. [15] The prior should not hunt beasts in the forests. [16] The prior should not use a bow and arrows but should direct his attention to religion. [17] The prior and his fellow monks should dress according to the regulations of the order and the rule. [18] The prior should eat with his brothers in the refectory and keep both meat days and fish days. [19] Silence should be observed. [20] The brothers should not eat and drink outside the refectory or other place when they eat, but the food that remains after dinner should be turned into alms. [21] Certain legal books, or an estimate of their value, bought by the abbot with money from the house should be returned to the monastery. [22] After collation the brothers should not engage in secret feasting and drinking but should go to compline. [23] Br. Matthew de Pentyn, Br. Geoffrey de Bosdoun and Br. John de Gilbesmeire, by whose insolence and malice the peace and tranquillity of the brothers had been disturbed, should be transferred to other houses until the bp. thinks fit to ordain; Pentyn to Coventry, Bosdon to Shrewsbury, Gilbesmere to Hilbre Island. [24] Br. Robert de Markynton should be recalled to the house and remain in the convent. [25] Br. Robert Mareschall, who several times meddled in surgery, or any other monk, should not involve himself in works of that art except through charity to relieve a sick pauper and then, regarding wounds, by no means should he be allowed to make incisions.
