BNCF Ms. Magl. cl. XXXII, 37, fol. 41r-v.
Quod fratres hospitalis non faciant congregationes
Propter pericula evitanda, que quotidie possunt evenire, et esset in utroque iure prohibitum, est stabilitum et preceptum districte in virtute sancte obedientie, quod deinceps fratres hospitalis, cuiuscumque conditionis existant, ultra vel citra mare, non debeant facere congregationes, consilium nec ligam cum sacramento alicuius imprese seu homagii in manerie [!] Spanie seu alio modo sine speciali licentia magistri seu eorum prioris vel bailivi per capitulum generale. Et si aliquod sacramentum esset factum, est preceptum districte in virtute sancte obedientie, quod ipse non teneatur pro religioso, nec possit facere sacramentum sine licentia sui superioris, quod sit in preiudicium, autem et qui contra veniet, perdet habitum, et si ipse recuperabit, non possit habere baiuliam per spatium x annorum nec illam recuperare nec aliam habere in illo tempore.
