Francis placed some of his religious near Mount Gargano and in some other parts, after which he came to Gubbio, where he cured a woman, the sinews of whose hands were contracted. Near Gubbio, a soldier called Benvenuto, asked to be admitted into the Order; he was admitted as a lay-brother, with directions to wait upon the lepers.
"Why, I am very strongly persuaded I feel sure almost that that old fellow could tell something to the purpose if he would speak. And I am more convinced of it from his manner to-day than ever. The other animal the lay-brother I am pretty sure knows nothing about it." "Is the friar about again, or still in bed?" Fortini.
You fell in love with old yeoman Bolle's son, or said you did that same great, silly Thomas who is now a lay-brother at the Abbey " "Or said I did," she repeated. "At least he fell in love with me, and perhaps I wished an honest man to protect me, who in those days was young and fair. Moreover, he was not silly then. That came upon him after he fell into your hands.
His face was grey; his nose long and sharp, and his eyes were huge, because he was so thin; his temples were sunk, his beard scanty, the hair on his head long.... By his face it was impossible to tell his class: gentleman, merchant, or peasant; judging by his appearance and long hair he looked almost like a recluse, a lay-brother, but when he spoke he was not at all like a monk.
Didst thou give my letter thyself into the hands of Sir Hugh d'Argent, and hast thou brought me back an answer from that most noble Knight?" Wherefore did Brother Philip make no reply?

The trial of Father Ireland, Mr. Grove and Mr. Pickering who was a Benedictine lay-brother was opened on the seventeenth day of December, in the Sessions House at Justice Hall in the Old Bailey. I was in the Court early, before the trial began, carrying a letter with me which Mr.

Benedetto bowed his head, and reflected for some time. "Perhaps on one occasion," said he, "for one moment, at Santa Scolastica, when my master, in the Abbot's name, offered me the habit of a lay-brother, that habit which was afterwards taken from me at Jenne.
