In that love which is God, I entreat all my friars, whether they are given to preaching, praying, or manual labor, to do their best to humble themselves at every opportunity; not to boast or be self-satisfied, or take pride in any good which God says or aqccomplishes in them or by them; as our Lord himself put it, "Do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you" (Luke 10:20).
