Those brothers who wish to live a religious life in a hermitage are not to permit anyone to enter the cloister where they reside. And they are not to eat there. And those brothers who are the mothers must strive to keep people away and, in obedience to their minister, let them keep their sons from everyone so that no once can speak to them.
And the sons are to speak to no one, except their mothers and their minister and their custos, when he wishes to visit them with the blessing of the Lord God.
And whenever they agree it is time to do so, the sons are to exchange roles with the mothers. And let them seek to observe all the above with careful attention.
