Quomodo fratres tenentur ieiunare
Primo ordinatum est et statuimus, quod ad honorem et reverentiam domini nostri Ihesu Christi et benedicte virginis matris eius, que nostra voluit esse advocata erga suum benedictum filium in omnibus nostris necessariis expediendis, fratres hospitalis deinceps teneantur ieiunare quattuor vigilias de quattuor festivitatibus nostre domine: (et) conceptionis, nativitatis, purificationis, annuntiationis sicuti assumptionis eiusdem.
