Chapter 15Didasc.3.15
De quattuor reliquis praeceptis.
The Four Remaining Precepts
Hugh introduces the final four precepts, arranged in alternating order so that each pairs a concern for discipline with a concern for practice.
The four that follow are arranged in alternating order, so that one always looks to discipline and the other to practice.
Read the original Latin
Quattuor quae sequuntur sic alternatim disposita sunt, ut alterum semper ad disciplinam, alterum ad exercitium spectet.
