Sivu 4 - Stephen, persevering in their holy determination, together with their abbat, left the monastery, declaring that the purity of the institution could not be preserved in a place where riches and gluttony warred against even the heart that was well inclined. They came therefore to Citeaux; a situation formerly covered with woods, but now so conspicuous from the abundant piety of its monks, that it is not undeservedly esteemed conscious of the Divinity himself.
Sivu 57 - A number of them, which purchased those superstitious mansions, reserved of those library-books, some to serve their Jakes, some to scour their candlesticks, and some to rub their boots ; some they sold to the grocers and soap-sellers, and some they sent over sea to the bookbinders, not in small number, "but at times whole ships full.

Sivu 31 - BOOK v. monuments remaining ; but, in the parlour and chamber over it (built not long since) were some roundels of painted glass, about eight inches diameter, viz. St. Michael fighting with the devil; St. Dunstan holding the devil by the nose with his pincers, and having retorts, crucibles, and chemical instruments about him ; with several others, so exactly drawn as if done from a good modern print.
Sivu 6 - ... they do not take more than one meal a day, except on Sunday. They never leave the cloister but for the purpose of labour ; nor do they ever speak, either there or elsewhere, save only to the abbot or prior.
Sivu 5 - ... poor. Nevertheless, be he where he may, he is equally sparing of food and of speech; for never more than two dishes are served either to him or his company; lard and meat never but to the sick.
Sivu 5 - ... to perform by day without any other light. No one is ever absent from the daily services, or from complines, except the sick. The cellarer and hospitaller, after complines, wait upon the guests, yet observing the strictest silence. The...
