    Si quis mónachus peregrínus de longínquis provínciis supervénerit, si pro hóspite volúerit habitáre in monastério et conténtus fúerit consuetúdinem loci quam invénerit, et non forte superfluitáte sua pertúrbat monastérium, sed simplíciter conténtus est quod invénerit, suscipiátur quanto témpore cupit. Si qua sane rationabíliter et cum humilitáte caritátis reprehéndit aut osténdit, tractet abbas prudénter ne forte pro hoc ipsud eum Dóminus diréxerit. Si vero póstea volúerit stabilitátem suam firmáre, non renuátur talis volúntas, et máxime quia témpore hospitalitátis pótuit ejus vita dinósci.

    If any monk arrive a stranger from distant parts and if he wish to dwell, as a guest, in the monastery and be content with the customs of the place as he find them and does not by chance disturb the monastery with his superfluous wants, but is in simplicity content with what he finds, let him be received for as long as he likes. Indeed if in a reasonable manner and with the humility of charity he rebukes or points out anything amiss let the abbot prudently investigate the matter lest by chance God sent him for this very thing. And if afterwards he should wish to be strengthened by stability, let not such wish be refused and especially because the time he was a guest afforded opportunity of judging of his manner of life.
