Chapter XIX

The nature of the obligation of this Rule

71. The precepts of this Rule, except those which are divine or ecclesiastical, do not oblige Members of the Militia under pain of sin before God, but only to the punishment determined by the law or to be imposed by their commanding officers in accordance with the prescriptions of Chapter XVIII. Mindful, however, of their Oath, let all the Brethren observe the ordinations of this Rule by the help of the grace of Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, Who with the Father and the Holy Ghost liveth and reigneth, God for ever and ever. Amen.

Deus Vult!
