Chapter XLVII. Ti of the Perfect Manner of Obeying which he Taught

The most holy Father was wont to say to his brethren, "Brothers most dear, fulfil a command at the first word, nor wait till what was said to you is repeated. Do not argue or judge, for there is no impossibility in the command, for even if I were to order you aught above your strength, holy obedience will not be wanting to aid your weakness."
