III. Also let them take care to visit distant places, where having explained our poverty, alms, however small, may be received, which should again be given to others who are poor, so that they who do not as yet know the society, may be won, and may be so much the more liberal towards us. IV. Let all appear to breathe the same spirit, and so learn the same exterior deportment, that by such uniformity in such variety of persons, every one may be attracted; they who do otherwise should be dismissed as injurious. V. In the commencement, let our members be careful in buying lands; but if they should purchase for us those well situated, let this be done in the fictitious name of some faithful and confidential friend; and that our poverty may better appear, let the estates which are near to places in which we may have colleges, be assigned by the provincial to remote institutions, by which it will be impossible that rulers or magistrates can ever have certain knowledge of the society. VI. Let not our members make any location for a college, except in wealthy cities; for the object of the society is to imitate Christ, our Saviour, who resided generally in Jerusalem, but only passed through other places of less importance. VII. Let the utmost means be always extorted from widows, and our extreme poverty be proven to them. VIII. In every province let no one, except the provincials, know precisely the value of the revenues. Let what is in the treasury at Rome, be sacred. IX. Let us proclaim, and every where in conversation announce, that we have come for the education of youth, and the good of the people, and that all things will be performed _gratis_, and without respect of persons, and that we will not be a burthen to the community, as other religious orders are. CAP. II. _Quomodo Principum, Magnatum et Primariorum P. P. Societatis familiaritatem acquirent, et conservabunt._ I. Conatus omnis ad hoc in primis adhibendus, ut Principum et primariorum ubique locorum aures et animos obtineamus, ne sit qui in nos audeat insurgere, quin immo omnes cogantur à nobis dependere. II. Cum autem experientia doceat Principes et Magnates tum præsertim affici personis ecclesiasticis, quando odiosa eorum facta dissimulant, sed in meliorem potius partem ea interpretantur, ut videre est in matrimoniis contrahendis cum affinibus, aut consanguineis, aut similibus, animandi sunt qui hæc aut similia affectant, spe facta per nostros istiusmodi dispensationes facile a summo Pontifice impetrandi, quod faciet si explicentur rationes, proferantur exempla, et recitentur sententiæ favorabiles titulo communis boni, et majoris gloriæ Dei, quæ est scopus Societatis.
