    Frater qui próprio vítio egréditur de monastério, si revérti volúerit, spóndeat prius omnem emendatiónem pro quo egréssus est, et sic in último gradu recipiátur, ut ex hoc ejus humílitas conprobétur. Quod si dénuo exíerit, usque tértio ita recipiátur, jam póstea sciens omnem sibi reversiónis áditum denegári.

    If a brother who departs from the monastery through his own fault should desire to return, let him first promise complete amendment of the fault for which he departed and so let him be received back in the lowest grade, that by this means his humility may be proved. But if he go forth again, unto the third time let him be thus received back, but knowing now that henceforth all readmission will be denied him.
