St Benedict of Nursia, tr. Hunter Blair, 1907

Chapter 56

LET the table of the Abbot be always with the guests and strangers. But as often as there are few guests, it shall be in his power to invite any of the brethren. Let him take care, however, always to leave one or two seniors with the brethren for the sake of discipline.
