Book excerpt: Excerpt from The English Franciscan Nuns, 1619-1821, and the Friars Minor of the Same Province 1618-1761 In the Prologue to the Rule of the Third Order Regular of St. Francis we are informed that he having ordained for the men his first rule, called the rule of the Friars Minor, and his second rule for women, called of St Clare, hath also written the third rule, called of Penance, for retired persons remaining in the world, ecclesiastic and secular, married and unmarried, of both sexes, which rule was confirmed by Pope Nicholas IV. It appears that in process of time pious persons of this third Rule or Order banded themselves together in religious communities, and took the usual vows of poverty, chastity and obedience. Pope Innocent VIII in 1487 added the vow of enclosure, and Pope Leo X approved of the institute, granted it a rule founded on that of Nicholas IV, and declared the members to be true Religious.
