the boy in place of children, and let him take a girl, every one who has a son ; when her time comes let him give her to him in marriage, and fulfil his work in the service of God. If there be people who do not wish because of their riches1 to do thus to orphan members, such people will meet also with the same, and they shall spend (S. their) parsimony in these Cf. is. i. 7 things, and what the saints have not eaten, the Assyrians shall eat ; and Ap. con. strangers shall devour your land before your eyes. Ye therefore, O Bishops, take up the burden of them, that they be brought up so that nothing be wanting to them, and when it is the time for the maiden, give her in marriage to one of the brethren. And let the boy when he is grown up learn a handicraft, and when he is a man let him take the wage that is meet for his craft, (S. + and acquire the necessary tools,) that he may no longer be a burden on the charity of the brethren, which they had without deceit and without hypocrisy. And truly blessed is he who is able to help himself, and does not straiten the place of the orphans and the widows and the poor.
