LI. gives directions for monastic discipline.
“Let the superintendent exert discipline after the manner of a
physician treating his patients. He is not angry with the sick,
but fights with the disease, and sets himself to combat their bad
symptoms. If need be, he must heal the sickness of the soul by
severer treatment; for example, love of vain glory by the imposition of
lowly tasks; foolish talking, by silence; immoderate sleep, by watching
and prayer; idleness, by toil; gluttony, by fasting; murmuring, by
seclusion, so that no brothers may work with the offender, nor admit
him to participation in their works, till by his penitence that needeth
not to be ashamed he appear to be rid of his complaint.”
