CHAPTER THIRTY-TWO
On the Tools and Goods of the Monastery
LET THE Abbot appoint brethren on whose habits and character he can rely to supervise the property of the monastery— including tools, clothing, and things generally. Let the abbot assign to them, as he shall deem proper, all the things which must be collected after use and stored away. Let the Abbot keep a list of these articles, so that, when the brethren in turn succeed each other in these trusts, he may know what he gives out and what he receives back. If anyone, however, treats the goods of the monastery slovenly or carelessly let him be reprimanded and if he does not amend let him come under the discipline of the Rule.
