Brother Siegfried of flatte drew up the 1314 statutes of the order as they were observed in the Jerusalem House. He begins on p.11 by saying: “It is right that all those who would dwell in a community be of one mind, and that, loving God, they dwell under one rule; so, dear Brothers, we must keep and follow the rule of St. Augustine as our forefathers did. Besides the said rule, there are other statutes which are most needful to us every day; and for this reason we write them down, and beg all the rothers who shall follow us to observe them faithfully.”
Articles II, XI, XXVI of these statutes precribe that members serv the sick with rdent zeal; protect, feed and dress those whose diseases become incurable; to receive charitably into the hospital pilgrims, the poor and other of the wrethed abandoned who are incapable of earing their living.”
