Question 187 — Those Things That are Competent to Religious

We must now consider the things that are competent to religious; and under this head there are six points of inquiry:

(1) Whether it is lawful for them to teach, preach, and do like things?

• (2) Whether it is lawful for them to meddle in secular business?
• (3) Whether they are bound to manual labor?
• (4) Whether it is lawful for them to live on alms?
• (5) Whether it is lawful for them to quest?
• (6) Whether it is lawful for them to wear coarser clothes than other persons?
